so it's 2 am now and im to take a shuttle at 3 to swoop me off to the airport for my 6:30 flight to venice! oh how i wish i were in bed...
so i arrived in london yesterday evening, staying in picadilly circus but i am ghetto so am in a 10 person dorm filled with stinky boys. i took the underground tube which i must say, im not sure why its a big deal cause its just like a crowded hot skytrain.
im sad to say, i ate a mcchicken. it is true. and it wasnt even good! they put some goopy 'sandwich sauce' on it instead of mayo, just plain wrong.
so as i was alone and wanted out of my dorm, i wandered round and round, literally. then i got lured into the ripley believe it or not museum which was actually quite entertaining. you know the whole, portrait of princess di made out of lint, shrunken heads, medieval torture items...
then as i was thinking of heading back to the hostel, i ran into shirley's adonis and his friend on the street! seriously, what are the chances of just running into someone from home in the middle of london when neither of you know the other is in the city. it was our destiny. so it was off to various drinking establishments we went. not sure exactly where we were but i do know adonis' friend was standing atop a phone booth at one point. all capped off with a visit to a pizzeria (where adonis managed to spill beer on every single article of clothing i had on) and...burger king.
and then today the morning was rather rough and i tried to hunt down gatorade but only found some other thing that ended with '-ade' and i must say for something so saturated with sugar it was revolting. then i met up with the lovely miss kavitha! i hadnt seen her since she was an electrical socket and her man reza was a plug for halloween a couple years ago (how cute, AND saucy).
we wandered around, had some touristy photos taken at trafalgar square. to be honest, im not exactly sure where we went today but it was all very nice to just walk around (and sit around really) london with kav and her friends and friends of friends. i havent actually really seen much of anything, tho we made a little jaunt into the national gallery but then we had to head off to see THE LION KING. soooo great! the costumes and props were absolutely amazing and im quite sure the adult simba is pretty hot. oh and possible SPOILER ALERT!: scar totally tries to hit up nala, dirty twist or what!? anyway, if only we had more theater back home. then we could say stuff like "oh, im just off to the thee-a-ter tonight"
anyway 40 more minutes to go for my 45 minute shuttle to the airport. im thinking no more to these budget airlines flying in and out of boonie airports...
