london so far

first night in sarah's room...


we went to Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake. It's a contemporary version of the ballet that's known for the swans being all men instead of women. we had obstructed view nosebleed seats, but it was still pretty great. awesome costumes, and hooray for not falling asleep!


we tried to go shopping but it sucked... too many people this time of year, and the brits are rude and ruthless when it comes to shopping. then it started snowing which would have been fine, except the London MTA cancelled their bus service so Sarah and I had to walk home in the snow.

i was wearing canvas shoes, which were soaked thru and by the time I got home I was sure my toes had frostbite. They seem to be ok now tho. we didn't win at the pub quiz night... i guess someone has to lose. and in the spirit of a crappy day, someone else got the job that i was hoping to get in february. on the bright side, we made some awesome chili.

sarah and took a walk along the canal yesterday - thought about walking all the way to my old place in Mile End but it was too cold. it was cool seeing all the houseboats docked for winter. afterwards we met friends at the pub for pints and dart playing. i'm no good at darts but sarah might be a natural.
