Broken chords can sing a little

It be cold over here. It's like winter came early. Today was windy, rainy, and frigid. I couldn't seem to get warm all day. This is also because the Butterworth's LexisNexis office decides they want the air conditioner on all day, despite the wintery weather outside. So I basically wear layers of clothes to try to keep warm.

I opened up a bank account yesterday and yelled at some snooty lady in HR about tax forms today -- I'm a big girl now! What did I learn? The banking system in London is inefficient and slow, and people in HR want to make everything harder than it has to be. Love it!

Today I had a gourmet microwaveable vegetable lasagna meal from London's top market chain: ASDA. Yum yum. It had runny cheese and everything! Actually, I liked it, but that's mainly because I miss mommy's spinach lasagna. Cheese...yummy. Today I also missed fruity cheerios, tortilla chips, and Armadillo Willy's BBQ.

After my fine meal (it conveniently came with it's own tray and everything!) Elizabeth, our friend Jose, one of our flatmates and I went to see a play called Pump Girl. It was in a very small theatre, and it actually wasn't that bad. Elizabeth and I were exhausted and anticipated some napping time, but I actually stayed awake throughout the whole thing! Now all I need to do is get me a copy of Manos: the Hands of Fate hosted by MST3K and see if I can watch it all without falling asleep (this is the last movie I watched where I actually stayed up for the whole thing). If I succeed, then I know I have mastered these narcoleptic fits that have been plaguing me.

Tomorrow is Friday! End of the work week! Greenwich on Saturday and then a rugby match on Sunday, weee! And next weekend there's a possibility of going to Paris...

Must sleep now.
