the last few days.

they have been very good. just haning out with people... we watched some crazy/horrible/fantastic movies... dusk til dawn (oh, george clooney...) and dog soliders. it was a very happy time. :) it is always fun to watch really terrible movies... :) :) :)

yesterday was fantastic. i had blc and we had a talk about homelessness and then talked to a homeless couple. it was pretty depressing, but very interesting. it's very weird how little it takes for someone to become homeless. and the vicious cylce which keeps people homeless is just sickening. my empathy was going into overdrive.. i wanted to give them the world... but i know i can't... and i know it might not make a difference. it was just a really interesting thing to think about and hear first hand accounts of.

then i had a shakespeare make-up class. which was a walk around blackfrairs and the southbank. (where the globe and most popular theatres were in shakespeare's day... along with brothels and drug sellers and the like... hehe...) it was really cool. beautiful weather... i mean, absolutely gorgeous. :) my favorite was southwark cathedral/church... can't remember which it is. but it's lovely. it has a memorial for shakespeare and a really cool stained glass window with his characters in it... it's just really cool. i like it a lot more than the one in stratford... you know... then at the end of our tour we went to a pub. it ended as all good classes should end, with a nice cold lager. mmm... (we'll see how this works in the weeks to come and next year... i don't hold out much hope...) and after our drink, dana and i went to the clink prison museum. it was actually a terrible museum.. mostly lots of things to read (like five paragraph posters EVERYWHERE!!! we nicknamed it the 'novel' museum) but the guy working there was really cool. and he was flirting and it was fun... :)

then we went back to the centre... gathered the boys and went to drayton (old trusty). laura bought us drinks. YAY! and then we went home... watched 40yrold virgin (god, i love that movie...) it was just a good time. although we've been watching WAY too many movies this week, but i think we all just needed sometime to just hangout together since we'd been apart and traveling for awhile... you know... just catchup/chillaxin time... (hehe, chillaxin... hehe)

i dunno what i'm gonna do today.. i think we might go to the royal mews (stables)... at least dana will go with me. :) i really like her... and i sense that she needs a female friend in her life right now. which is good, cause we seem to get along well. and it's just nice to be away from the boys for awhile. :) we had a lovely girl's day out. mmmm pizza at the bakery... mmmm :)

see, i finally posted something of consequence. :) go me. laters.
