week one done!--and that rhyms suckers

It is officially week one, out of 26 weeks! at this pace, London will have gone and happened in a flash! Steven of the kitchen staff noted that i have visited more of London in the past week then he has gernally at all in his life here in london....it's kinda true, have been hitting the sights rather hard. Liam took me to the PROMS a couple nights ago at Albert Hall, as in Prince Albert, as in the piercing, and yes apparently he WAS that impressive down there....kinky man that Albert. Anywho, the hall, the GIANT monument in the park and the black street posts are all on account of his death. Victoria was in such morning that she ordered all the street posts painted black(which most of them still are) stayed in mourning black for the rest of her days, and made a lovely concert hall....that's love for you...and maybe the piercing? Well the concert was loads of fun because you wait in this very long line, and then the people buying the cheep tickets, like me, get to crowd into the hall and stand directly next to the orchestra, as the rich folks sit in the seats around us. It's very much the commoners going to the theatre, minus the vegtables. Afterwards we wondered all over once again, waved to the queen, or her house rather, but i bet she peeps though windows to see who's popping by to say hello, saw her swans, which are royaly protected, dont eat them or very bad things will happen to you, and eventually ended up in a great little whole in the wall jazz club full of colorful types and a great band packed into a corner and absolutly loving it!
Well today i am setting up my bank accout, which if that dosent make me offical what does? excting much?
MISS ANNA HICKEY is HERE< say what, i say awesome. It makes this all very very cozy. and I recieved a great call from my other london crazies colin and courtney yesterday as they sat at ALS BREAKFAST.....i love technology....and the juans with rye at als.....hmmmmmmmm
Work is going very well, and I am debating attempting to draw shamrocks inthe guinness...though courtney tells me that actual irish men might stab me in the eye for making their beer cute....so this is going to be a careful experiment.
It's quite funny to me how much I think of Minneapolis when i am here, and often have trouble determining what to tell people when they ask where i am from, thus i currently alternate between wisconsin and minnesota in the response. I also swear that i see everyone i know in strangers walking down the street, perhaps a desire to seek familiarity, who knows. But the reality that you are all rather attainable via phone and e-mail is quite nice. I hope you school-like ones are taking care of Rarig.... Improv happening??? let a girl know....any hotpockets? microwaving em????
anywho, that's all for now, LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!
