london bridge is fallng down

OK, so I have no future in professional blogging because i am TERRIBLE at updated. But i didn't think anyone actually read this thing haha anyways...last sunday morning we went to Speaker's Corner, which is where anyone is able to speak about a current issue freely without facing any penalty. Well in theory this is a very cool concept, HOWEVER, there was this one man there who was driving me up a wall. He was talking about how we need to "re-educate" women so that way they know their place in society...aka the kitchen and the bedroom. Well, obviously this did not go over so well with me, so I started yelling back at him, I know mom and dad aren't you proud? I told him that if he was the only man I had to chose from then I would rather be a lesbian. Then he told me that my job, as a woman, was to produce a baby a year. So apparently women are the same thing as rabbits? But it was all in good fun! After the speaker's corner, we went to regents park, which was gorgeous and this amazing rose garden there. Depending on the price, it would be a beautiful place for a wedding or a birthday party. It was so pretty there--it made the 40 min walk worth it! After regent's park we went to Amy Winehouse's neck of the woods-Camden. That is a whole different part of London--its where the punk movement began so it was much different then the prim and proper area of Buckingham Palace. They had this HUGE market and these really cool purses which was a zipper and zipped up into a purse...it was very cool haha

Every Monday, I go to a play for my theatre class and this week we went to go see "War Horse." Now, in class our teacher told us this was the hit of London and critics across the board gave it 2 thumbs up. It was terrible. The production itself--the lighting, the blocking, the costumes and the mechanical horses used were amazing. HOwever, the acting was horrific--the main character sounded like he was crying the entire time! It was something that I would not go back to.

The tube--the underground system, like the metro--went on a strikage from Tues. night at 6:59 until Thurs. night at 6:59...therefore I did not go to work Wednesday and Thursday, which was pretty awesome, especially since I have been fighting a cold so I finally got a chance to relax a bit. But on Thursday night, we went to a comedy show which was hilarious--until the host found out we were from America and then it was all over. We made fun of by every comedian, including the last act who was from where?CANADA. talk about the ultimate burn...a canadian drug addict making fun of us, while we were in england...ouch. But last night (friday) we went to a bar called Zoo Bar, which was fun because they played Backstreet Boys and Bon Jovi so we were just dancing and bopping around until some girl threw up all over the bar--we decided to call it a night. But today I went shopping by work and then I am going to dinner at Camden and going to hang around the market down there!

I miss you all...how are your lives...LEMME KNOW!


Until next time,
