In other news, london is quickly coming to a close. Last night, while stuffed with stuffing, anna and i realized that we are home is nothing but three weeks!!!! and we are very excited for christmas. ALSO we are excited by the fact that we can cook, and WELL. though we did cook far too much in our efforts to give thanks. anna made enough stuffing for maybe 13-16 people and i made not one, not 2, but 6 candied yams. (best quote of the night: "What are two people going to do with 6 candied yams?" ---Chris Peltier) and then there were cranberries, salad, apple crisp, and a bottle of wine. We did thanksgiving up right. and now we are ready to be rachel ray.
ALSO, i have a new roomie for my last weeks here. (they are so filling the pub with replacements for KC and I). the new roomie is quite cool, and a THEATRE GIRL. which makes me happy. and she is Canadian, which is fun...and she gave me a stuffed animal moose, we named him pierre. London is starting to look a little christmasy, which is nice. also a clown gave me a heart shapped ballon because i liked his juggling, it was love. I have a few more weeks at he pub, but have booked tickets to go to Stratford before i leave, see Romeo and Juliet, and soak up some shakespeare homelife.

finally, paris is next weekend!!!! oh the excitement!!!!

I feel like the past few weeks have been a scattering of so much randomness. London is just everything weird, surealism lately. As i told my mother, these are an odd people. In the past weeks such things have occured as drunk irish boys falling off our roof. The lesson to be learned here is to not let seemingly normal irish touristis take you and your barmaid room mate out for drinks, and then dont let them crawl on your roof. leason learned....he's ok, we think. This did bind us closer with Edward Norton the bartender at the pub next door, he drinks at our place, we drink at his, he looks like Edward Norton if you blur your vision, and now he is sure that we bring trouble in had post irish experience. The regulars continue to be charming, though i have realized that most of my "friends" in London are middleaged plus men who i only ever see a little drunk---they are charming non-the-less.
Other news, I went to the zoo with anna-face, good times and over stimulation occured, as did nearly killing a merekat via the accidental feeding of a zoo treat stick covered in chocolate. He really liked it, and then he buried the evidence and asked for more...i hope he is still alive. I've taken in some art, some theatre, saw Branagh in Ivanov, which was awesome!, oddly... I have finally gotten on board with monologue work, and have been attempting to find solice drawing studies at the national gallery.

And so on it goes, day in day out. KC has moved out to travel before returning to the states, and has yet to be replaced in the pub....thus we are all working a lot this week, but i do need the money, we'll see how it goes.
Anna and I are going to Paris in a few weeks, and now that the tickets are booked, that adventure is a good thing to look forward to, as is thanksgiving, and so too, is COLIN WAITT!!!! an arrival i am SO excited for. London has been really lonely some moments for me, and knowing the nearness of one more lovie in this city is comforting. My dreams lately have been tripy and filled with far too many past affairs to really handle and thus i really just want to frolic with colin and anna, I think that might help.
