Weekend Update

Look, I'm standing in two hemispheres at once!

Anyway, that's about the most exciting thing that happened on my tour of Greenwich. Yeah, it was that bad. Greenwich is really nice but the tour was absolutely horrid. It was an hour and a half walking tour in the freezing English weather with an inept tour guide who felt the need to inform us about elementary history... (Henry VIII had lots of wives? REALLY??) Also, since we had limited time, we didn't actually get to see any of the sights, instead it was "If you like this, you can come back later and see it!" Whatever though, it's always nice to see somewhere new. Even if you end up coming out of it with a cold.

Saturday I didn't end up going to the Tate after all because I was too tired and swamped with homework but Emilia and I ended up going to a friend's apartment and pawing through their extensive record collection. Seriously, any song I could think of that I wanted to hear they had on vinyl. They also had a bunch of instruments, so we had someone on the guitar, drum and piano and I was on the ukulele. Great fun.

Sunday was Sunday Roast... contrary to the gross picture I posted earlier, it was really good! The Yorkshire pudding is not actually pudding, it's like pancake batter put in the oven so it's crispy. Mmmm. It was just that, roast beef and lots of vegetables. No soylent green. After Sunday roast, we took a walk around the "famous" Brick Lane.

Anyway, now it's back to homework. Unfortunately, I broke the jack in my computer for the internet plug so any time I want to use the internet, I have to go to the kitchen, which is the only place we get wireless. The kitchen is hot as hell and there are always a thousand people in here, being really obnoxious.

Here are some of the songs I picked out of the record collection the other night... let me know what you think of the new format:
