SO.! future events and happenings coming up are all AMAZING.! excepttt..just saw that Pelicanesis is going to break up (..?!???) AHhhh! O_o guess I'm doomed since they never saved me from the apocalypse even though I've trieddd. *sigh. well enough of that. in other news..Lindsay and I bought tickets to see the Martin Scorsese George Harrison documentary in the cinemas.! So I'm excited about that- and tickets to the play Backbeat, the beginning of the Beatles.! AND Hannah and I bought tickets to see the play The Tempest with Ray Fiennes- the actor who plays Voldemort.! So all of that is coming up soon! :) Yesterday, walking back from class, a random older man walked towards me and said "You're from America, aren't you?" and started telling me about how he studied in L.A. for 3 months. That was a really nice, random interaction; a reminder that not everyone in the city is super self absorbed and always in a hurry. I walked around for awhile because it was a nice day out. It's been really warm here lately. Went to theater class- our teacher picks a student to focus on and drill with questions for 15 minutes each time, and this class she picked Tom. He shaved his head over the weekend so she told him in this country you wouldn't know what you were going to get looking at him & that he either looked like a hipster or a Nazi. Last night, our flat had a progressive dinner. Each floor made a dish and we started in the basement with appetizers, then worked our way up the building. Soooo much food with so many people all crowded together and so many stairs.! A few of us had to watch the film Fallen Idol for class- I understand stylistically why so many people enjoy it..theoretically..but it was the most boring, lonnng movie...I couldn't pay attention at all and nobody made it all the way through it. O_o In Media & Society class today, a journalist came in to talk to us about differences between different London papers as well as compared to U.S. papers. We all went around Fleet Street, saw St. Bride's Church- one of the oldest in London. For our film tonight, we had to be at the BFI but Lindsay, Kat, Hannah & I took a wrong turn and just barely made it. Someone was sitting in my seat though and it's a small room, so I had to sit on the floor. I really enjoyed the movie a lot though- Days of Heaven with Richard Gere. It was very well written, and had really beautiful nature scenes. The main point of conflict is a bit of a stretch, but I bought in to all the reasoning behind different characters' perspectives.
