A day full of Luke Pasqualino.! & theater mice..
Also- last thursday, Hannah & I spent the morning walking around Hyde Park and visited the Princess Diana Memorial Fountain. It's a really sweet fountain that looks like a lazy river kind of deal, that everyone walks around barefoot in. It's been SO hot and sunny here, it's ridiculous. Not that I'm complaining- just think it's ironic that at home it's apparently already winter.? Monday we visited the Cabinet War Rooms and Churchill Museum, which was pretty interesting. That night we went to the Tricycle in Kilburn to see the play The Absence of Women. Our theater teacher gave us confusing directions, and it was in a sheisty area anyways, so a bunch of us were 4 minutes late- so we hadta wait 15 minutes before they would let us in O_o...other than that though I LOVED it.! It was so great- about two ex-alcoholics who sit and reminisce drinking tea, interjected with past memories that have really influenced them..past regrets and hiding behind facades..it was upsetting but wonderfully pulled off. Today, we walked around Soho by McCartney's recording studio again, and visited all these awesome record stores. We also went into the Hare Krishna temple to look around, then our professor took us to the cafe Maison Bertaux & bought us all coffee- London's "oldest & best patisserie"- I got a delicious croissant tart thing filled with fresh fruit and cream.! Sara, Hannah & I talked to this nice guy who told us about how he goes to that cafe every tuesday for beginning French lessons with beginners. Walking back to the house, Hannah & I met up with Lexi and stopped to say hi. She started freaking out looking at these two guys standing outside a building across the street- said it was a guy from Skins. I've heard of that show but have no idea about anything about it. Lexi wouldn't tell me which one was from the show and I told her we should go talk to him but everytime I took a step she freaked out hardcore at me and said she'd just try and take a creeper picture. Personally, I feel like making friends is less creepy than staring at someone and trying to sneak pictures. It would've been more exciting if I had any idea about who he was..but apparently it was Luke Pasqualino. I did walk over, but they went inside before I got there, and it was some restaurant and hotel, and if I followed it would've been pretty creepy at that point. Just got back from seeing Jane Eyre- don't know that I really can say I enjoyed the movie itself a lot, because her life was upsetting and full of abuse and being taken advantage of and jerks..however, the experience was pretty enjoyable. Two british girls near us kept freaking out, then we realized there was a cute little mouse zipping around the theater..then we realized there were quite a few cute little mice eating popcorn off the floor and zipping around our feet- I thought it was hilarious watching all the girls go hysterical about it.
