The Ladies Love the Hair, What can I say
A Wig that I borrowed from a nice girl I met and will be meeting up with in London soon, her name is Jayne Faulkes, how British of a name is that.For starters, Melanie got a cell phone (aka mobile in British) and can be reached at any time at 011-44-789-632-7626 (where 011 is to call out of the states, 44 is England's Code, and the 789... part is here actual cellie number) Please call us, it'd make our days.
Anyways, here's the blawg.
Hey all, I'm not doing too poorly on the blogging front am I? Its good to hear back from many of you, GI, JayLev, 811 girls (mmmmm, Garlic and Onions, and Rice-n-beans Rice-n-beans), London, Dad, Edi, Gainesium, and everyone else.
It seems like me writing in this journal is fun for all, whoopie, and so I shall continue.
We are now in London Proper, uhn. We did the full-on-American-style-tourist-picture-taking-tube-taking-river-crossing-museum-seeing-chip-eating thing all in one long beautiful day yesterday. The weather in London was just as predicted and the opposite all in one day. 95% of the day the weather was Sunny and just cool enough to walk around with a light windbreaker on, I'd say perfect. Then at around 4:20 in the afternoon (had to throw that one in there) the rainclouds had a closed-door meeting and decided it was time to disperse all over
PRIMUS SUCKS
The Band and the Beer both. You'll know what I'm talking bout if you rock! the beautiful city. So, surely enough it was time to step inside somewhere and check out the buildings.
We experienced our first museum yesterday, the
National Gallery, which was awesome, well the parts we decided to see at least. The National Gallery is a museum consisting purely of artwork, all from the 1200s till the late 1800s, so its not the most moving stuff ever, but still cool. We chose to see the 1700's and 1800s stuff only, as the old renaissance art is not really my thing, too much Madonna and child, Jesus and Madonna, Madonna and baby, etc, for me. There were 3 rooms of impressionist works including Renoir, Van Gogh (wow), Manet, Monet, and more. I really love the impressionist stuff even more every time I see it, its simple, beautifully made and are generally paintings of beatifully natural landscapes too. It takes a great hand to make, yes, but and even better eye to pick great scenes to copy down on canvas.
We left the museum and took a walking trip past the London Eye, the giant Ferris Wheel, a great idea as it totally sticks out and can be seen from anywhere, kind of
Barn Party, yehaw!
We went to a barn party for a friend-of-a-friends birthday party. 10 fosters, spliff, and 2 bitters later, I slept. like a skyscraper, buy more for the tourists. We saw big Ben, which I don't think is that spectacular, and Westminster Abbey which looks Turkish!? HUh?
BTW, Jorgs, I'm reading "Be Cool" by Elmore Leonard, author of bestsellers such as "Get Shorty" and "Out of Sight". The book is great, full of surprises, and badassness (call me Noah Webster) , I havent seen the movie yet, I probably will choose to even though it looked like it sucked.
SO much more cool stuff, but I think I'll stop typing here, and get straight to the pictures. Much love, kids and aged ones.
