Well I've decided to go to London again on Monday. I owe a few people a visit. Also, it's London, so it's basically just fabulous. I've booked a hotel (omg!) as a bit of a splurge. I'm not sure what to make of it. What am I going to do with a coffeemaker? I mean, I can make grilled cheese sandwiches…

| Write fast! Is it possible that I already miss London? I had a minor mishap getting on the wrong train to Southampton. Apparently the one that leaves at 1:35 is totally different that the one that leaves at 1:39. Okay. A nice stern old Englishman helped me figure it out and I made my way quite… |

I woke up rather late this morning so I decided to leave Rothko to his colorblocks and head down to the pub to watch the football match. It was more fun than I expected to watch middle aged men brought to tears by a penalty kick. I managed to remain reserved, even with my past and very we… | |

It was amazingly fun, especially when Liverpool beat Chelsea 1-0. Then a friend and I decided to go shopping a little while. I…

This morning I woke up just in time to catch the end of breakfast. When you're paying in pounds sterling, you make the most of even the cheapest hostel stay. I made plans with Lou, a native Londoner who I met while living in Australia. She had just left Cardiff and was finally back in the… | |

This morning I woke up early, took a shower, and went downstairs just in time to catch the end of breakfast. I ended up making plans with a friend who had just moved back here from Cardiff but we weren't meeting until 12 or 1. I didn't have much time and I wasn't sure where we would end up meeting s…

After not sleeping on the plane at all, despite the delicious lie flat seats, I hopped on the train from Heathrow and made my way to the London Underground. As I was looking out the window at the foggy pre-dawn, it occured to me that England looked quite a bit like home. For some reason I… | |

As I was on the train coming from Heathrow and I was looking out the window at the rainy, foggy dawn morning and it occured to me that it looked quite a bit like home. It has a very comforting quality about it, where you know that inside those little lighted windows there is someone snuggled warm an…
