has come. Yes, it's time to go home. My six months in London are over. It has been six of the best months of my life. When I'm back in Evansville, I think it'll hit me just how incredible this experience was. Unfortunately, I ran out of credit on my mobile broadband, so I have no Internet at the flat anymore (I'm at Sacred cafe, one of my usual wireless haunts). Therefore, this entry will not be as sophisticated as it might have been if I had more time.
I've done a lot in these last couple of weeks. An entire week's worth of theatre, museums, sights, parties. It's been a thrilling end. Tomorrow at 4:30 I will leave 35 Formosa House, go to Heathrow, sit through three flights, and finally arrive in Evansville. Then I'll provide a few more details on the past couple of weeks as well as add some pictures and videos.
Until then, I can't wait to see everyone again! but I'll miss this wonderful city, too...

January in London
So, on to January. With Kim out of the flat, and Sarah having stayed in her room for her holiday visit, the big room with the nice view was finally open, and I moved into it. Wow, what a difference. I was in the tiny room, and it was fine, but once I moved into the new room, everything opened up, literally and metaphorically. I have a big bed, two dressers, a desk, a view of Canary Wharf, and just, well, space! It's really nice.
One really great day in early January was a day spent in Camden Town. I love Camden, and I just roamed around by myself taking in all the people and spectacle of the area. Then, I shopped (a little too much). Camden Town is famous for its street markets, but I had often brushed off a majority of it because it's more suited for punks/goths/questionable types. Well, I quickly amended that view upon the discovery of quite a few vintage areas. It was Heaven for me; so many great choices of lower priced items. I got jeans, sweaters, flannels, suspenders, etc. Oh man, I got myself into trouble that day, but the sweetest sort of trouble you can get into.
Later that night, it was Arancha's birthday. She is such a sweet co-worker of mine. I traveled to her flat, and she had made lots of traditional Spanish dishes. Lovely food and company. Cumpleanos Feliz, Arancha! (Happy Birthday, Arancha-for the Spanish-impaired.)
People from Selfridges (Arancha a la izquierda...on the left)That night, I also make a new friend: Mikey. He and I have many similar interests. We quickly bonded over our wearing of the same shirt and our obvious love for the band. After the show, we walked the Camden streets, discussing the show, our views on life, religion, art, etc. It was quite nice to meet someone new and have an incredible converstaion. I haven't had that too much in London. Usually, it's just little ole' me.
That Friday, I went to a comedy club with Alex (another friend) and his friends. I had gotten dressed up for work: suspenders, bow tie, skinny jeans, and bright yellow, multicolored high-top Nikes. Needless to say, I stood out. Alex was worried about sitting in the first row for fear of being picked on. I said not to worry because I would clearly be the obvious victim, so he would be free of comedic criticism. So, we sat in the second row. The first act came out, and he immediately called out the second row for being scared of heckling. And then, as if I had a flashing light above my head, the comedian latched on to me and commented on my wardrobe. However, he never really made fun of me. Although I caused many laughs, they were not at my expense. I actually felt complimented and proud of myself. It was a great night.
The next day, after roaming London (Bank to Covent Garden to Dover Street Market to Selfridges) with Matt, I parted ways, and by pure random chance, I passed Mikey (from above) on the street. Such an odd coincidence, a true 11:11 moment. He was a girl friend, and we went to Starbucks, had more great conversation, played guitar, and came up with ideas for his band (him and the girl).
The day after that, I finally made it to the Imperial War Museum to see the Ian Fleming exhibit. It was really interesting to find out about the man behind James Bond. The show also included lots of props and costumes from the films. My dad would have loved it, but a book will have to suffice for him. Sorry, Dad! On a side note, that night I finally finished all 700+, small-fonted pages of James Joyce's Ulysses. It was a really challenging novel and somewhat boring at times, but I'm glad I have read it. Lots of inventive style, lots of surprising humor, and quite shocking with its frank, sexual language (and I don't get shocked very easily).
A week later, I saw La Clique, a more adult-oriented circus show. It was amazing! There was cabaret, strip tease, incredible acrobatics, juggling, gross-out feats of double jointedness. It's really impossible to describe. Just a wonderful night of entertainment.
The next day, I saw an equally varied theatrical performance. It was a sampling of several shows, performed at Sadler's Wells. There was ballet, modern dance, flamenco, hip-hop, you name it. I'm really intrigued by modern dance at the moment, and this was great way to see lots of different styles in one night.
Before that show, I spent the day in South Kensington, wandering through three museums: the Natural History, V & A, and Science Museum. My favorite was the Natural History museum. I saw an incredible photography exhibition (wildlife photographer of the year). The photos were breathtaking. Other highlights included a giant whale replica, an escalator that took me through the sun, a rock from Mars, lots of diamonds, and a great timeline that covered the start of the entire world (It all began 15,000 million years ago! Sorry, literalists.) The V & A was nice. However, it was a little overwhelming, and I didn't know where to start. The Science Museum might have been great, but I was pretty tired by that point, so I just casually breezed through, more focused on my growing hunger instead of scientific discoveries.
Just this past Thursday, I went to the theatre again. I saw the musical of the classic film, "Sunset Boulevard." It was very interesting/enjoyable. All of the actors played their own instruments. Rather than a large pit orchestra, everything took place in front of the audience, on the stage. It worked really well. That, and the acting/singing was incredible. I really enjoyed the show.
And now, I am at my flat. It's Saturday night, and I am no longer an employee of Offsrping. Today was my last day. It's very bittersweet. I'll miss all of my co-workers and the job, itself. Working at Selfridges was a great experience. I'm so glad the job worked (unlike my last two!). Next Saturday, we're all going to go out for drinks and have an official farewell.
So, now I have a little less than two weeks left in London. Wow, it hit me today that I have such a small amount of time left before I go back home. I'm very excited to get back to family and friend and the States in general. However, I'm going to miss London, and it might be hard to adjust at first. That's all right though because the end of this experience will lead to the beginning of another adventure. I'm not positive of what that will be just yet, but it will most likely take place in Chicago.
I have a lot planned for my final days abroad. In fact, I have booked theatre tickets for Monday-Saturday. I figure I might as well see as much as I can while I'm here, and don't worry, all of the tickets were fairly inexpensive. What am I going to see? Some highlights: Three Days of Rain, starring James Mcavoy (jealous?), Traces (another circus spectacle), a Mixed Program at the Royal Opera House, and the musical of Spring Awakening (so excited for that last one), among a few others. It should be a wonderful week of theatre, and I can't wait!
Besides theatre, I am going to see the last museums I need to see, take in a few sights I haven't seen, re-visit some favorite parks, and probably shop one last time. And then, early on Friday morning, Friday the 13th in fact, I will make my way to Heathrow, and head home. It's quite an exciting time!
(I'll add pictures/videos sometime soon...hopefully.)

How Fast A Month Can Fly By
It's true; December just flew on by. With the holidays and the retail hell of Selfridges, December quickly passed. Tomorrow, I will be going to Sacred Coffee, and I'll have wireless access, so I'll upload a whole bunch of pictures, covering Christmas, New Year's, and all of the other fun stuff I've been up to. Then, tomorrow night, I'll write the entry to caption the pictures and let you know what's been going on in London town.

A Post...Then the Pictures
So, this entry is going to be the reverse of the last. Following the title, I'm going to write the words and when I get a faster Internet connection, I'll add pictures/videos. Hope you enjoy! I'm covering a lot of stuff over the past few weeks, so there might be a lot to say.
Let's start with Megatripolis. Wow. This night was so unique. The event was a one-off party put on at Heaven to re-live the glory days of a club scene in the 90's. This was "conscious clubbing." Basically, a hippy movement, sort of like Burning Man, in which artsy types get together, meditate, dance, make speeches about enlightenment and aliens, and other stereotypical. Not sure if that made since. The night started with an old guy telling me how he was related to James Dean and Marie Boelyn. He had a friend who was like Mother Theresa, and when he wore her shoes, he could kick footballs more accurately. Needless to say, he provided me with a lot of story ideas. What a nut!
Other than that, there was a room where people could talk about whatever they liked. Upstairs, a group discussed how to purify yourself by running coconut water through your nose. Another room had lasers shooting through fog machines with tribal techno thumping away. The whole night was just one big trip. I can't wait to write a short story about it.
That weekend, I visited Sarah Wachter in Paris! It was so great to leave the city for an adventure in France. We had a blast! It was great to see her. She's studying abroad for this whole year and can speak French pretty well, which was nice because I don't speak it at all. I tracked her down once I got off the Eurostar, and we began our fun.
We spent the day walking around, eating typical Parisian food, and shopping a little bit. Then we met a friend, Steven, for dinner. Very nice. After that, we wanted to go to a disco, and that we did. We went to Queens club and literally danced all night. It's a very nice place, and I know my dad will appreciate the pictures/video of the ladies who danced on the platform. Scandalous.
After a few hours of sleep in a hostel, I met Sarah at her host family's flat, and we set our for Sacre Coure. It was as amazing as I remembered. Truly one of my favorite places in the world. The view was amazing as well. We could see all of Paris. After that, we made our way to the Pompidou, one of my favorite museums ever. All of the art blew me away. I could have spent all day there, but we just a couple of hours. And then, my whirlwind weekend came to an end. I hopped back on the Eurostar and headed home to London. It was exhausting, but incredible!
Over the next two weeks, I went to a slew of music gigs. It's kind of crazy how many bands I've seen while in London. I'm really thankful for this accessibility to music. Every week is another show. So, I saw Parenthetical Girls/High Places/Mt. Eerie at The Dome on the 17th. Parenthetical Girls absolutely killed their set; just amazing. Very theatrical and intense. Four days later, the 20th, I saw Andrew Bird perform in St. Gile's church. I've already seen him about three times, and this was still great. He mainly played stuff from the new, unreleased album, so that was cool. It was also interesting to hear him play in such a holy venue. Not every day you go to a concert in a church.
Jump to the 25th. I saw Women and Chad VanGaalen play at the Borderline. Both were great. The next day I saw Jay Reatard at the Lexington. It was crazy good. On the 29th, I saw Titus Andronicus at the Astoria 2. That show continued the trend of amazinness set by all of the bands before. However, the band to truly rise above all the others was Wolf Parade (at the Electric Ballroom on the 1st. Wow! One of the best shows I've ever seen. They had such energy, and their performance was so tight. I was in awe during the whole show.
Two days later, I saw Department of Eagles play at the Lexington. Another good show. They are really new, and this was their second live show ever. They had their act together, and the crowd was in love. And, tomorrow I am seeing Fantomas play at the Astoria. I am so pumped. If you recall, I exclusively used this band's music for my high school horror film, Bloodthirst. They broke up in the 90's, but they're back to perform the album that inspired me so much. It's a unique opportunity, and I cannot wait to back in the nostalgic bliss of their live show. It should be one to remember! And on top of that, I'm seeing Vivian Girls at Madame Jojo's the night after.
So, in review, that's 9 gigs in 23 days.
Oh, and Thanksgiving. Can't forget that! I was sad to not be home for Thanksgiving, but I made up for it by travelling to Grantham and celebrating at Harlaxton. It was so great to re-aquaint myself with the manor. I loved my summer session there; so many good memories. I loved being around all of the other students, too. Americans! The British don't understand Thanksgiving. However, my managers understood it's importance to me, so I got the day off.
The dinner was the real deal. You'll love the picture of my plate. We had all of the traditional food: mashed potatoes, stuffing, yams with marshmallows, green beans, turkey, rolls, and cranberry sauce. And, finally, pumpkin pie! London just doesn't have pumpkin pie, and it kills my soul. I had been craving some for a while. So, all in all, my Thanksgiving was not the lonely sob fest it could have been. Instead, it was almost as special as home. I mean, you can't beat the real thing, but you can try.
I think that's all for now. Hopefully, I can put up the pictures/videos in the next few days, but don't hate me if it takes longer. I am working like a dog right now, and it's the Christmas season, so I'm a little oversome with Selfridge's stress. I love you all and will see you sooner than you realize. Christmas is rapidly approaching, then it will be New Year's. The next think you know, it'll be February, and I'll be flying back to the USA. (Although it's not over yet, so be excited for new entries about all of the crazy stuff I'll pack into these last two months.) I'll try and update more often, too.
Well, it's sleep time for me. I work tomorrow, the next day, oh, and the next day, too. Good night!

A TON of Pictures...Then the Post
The "woman" in the comments is right: I failed on writing the post-pictures post that I promised. And for that, I am sorry! I've been so busy with work and all of the other fun stuff I'm up to that I have once again neglected my blog. I really need to do better. So, after finishing this post, I'm going to write another that fills you in right up until today. Bear with me, it might be long.
This first picture is from the Shred Yr Face tour at Electric Ballroom in Camden. It was really great. Times New Viking, No Age, and Los Campesinos (all big buzz bands) played. Times New Viking wasn't amazing, but Los Campesinos (no surprise) were incredible. The real surprise of the night was how much No Age blew me away. I had always been on the fence about how I felt towards No Age, but I am a definite fan now. For two guys, they sure made a big sound.
The next picture is one of many window displays at Selfridge's. As you can see, the store's Christmas message is "The More The Merrier." Not very considerate of the credit crunch. Rather, they are equating holiday cheer with spending. Therefore, each window has a traditional Santa bombarded with products that you can conveniently buy inside. Jesus who? Christmas is secular in London. Emphasis on consumerism. Oh well, the windows look great anyway.
Next, we have a video/photo from the Urban Works fashion show. It was great. Live music and a catwalk. The clothes were pretty cool. It was just neat to be at the event. A friend put it together. I loved the dancers that performed in between the runway shows. It was a great night.
Oh, Halloween. What a fun night. I spent it at Crystal's (a co-worker) flat. She and her flatmates hosted a party. I don't know what my costume was. I found it at Beyond Retro, and I had to buy it because it was cheap, comfortable, and fit well. Crystal looked amazing as Cruela De Vil. So authentic. We just drank, ate, and danced the whole night. Quite fun.
Fireworks!!! Victoria Park (not too far from my ghetto flat) puts on one of the best shows each November. What a great time. The show lasted for a long time, and they had carnival rides, too. It almost felt like the Fall Festival. After, we had a crepes. Mine was filled with Nutella and peanut butter. Delicious.
Not sure if you heard of him, but this black guy named Barack Obama is going to be the next President of the United States. It's kind of a big deal. Needless to say, I was pumped to see the results come in. So, I went to Yate's Wine Bar in Leicester Square for the party of the election year. I found Maggie waiting in queue, so that was a great surprise. We spent the night anxiously watching the results stream in, and at 4 in the morning, the big announcement came! Barack Obama '08! What a feeling!
These three pictures above were taken in the British Museum. On a day off, I visited. Ironically, my favorite bits of the museum were contemporary pieces. It's called Statue Philia: contemporary sculptors were asked to put their work in with all of the older stuff. The juxtaposition was really interesting. They all blew me away.
Not pictured are painted skulls via Damien Hirst (big in the news recently). The giant and incredibly life-like head is by Ron Mueck. I had always loved his work, so it was cool to see it in person. The gold Kate Moss is by Marc Quinn. And the bottom piece is by Noble and Webster. The bottom was great; the artists compiled dead animal remains and lit them just right to make the shadow of two human heads. I cannot even imagine the precision required to make that work. I was in awe!
After the British Museum, I headed to Regent Street to watch the Christmas lights go on. This was at Hamley's, the big toy store. So fun! Now, all of the streets have their own Christmas lights on. London really is beautiful during Christmas.
And finally, Kim and I, looking as sexy as ever. I think the top of the two could be some kind of ad. I'm not sure what it would sell. Perhaps, sex. We went to the new, super popular club, Matter. Eric Prydz did a dj set. Therfore, it cost a lot to get in. That wasn't that great, but once we finally got in, we danced all night. It was ridiculously fun and so nice to take Kim out for a good time.
So, now you know about the pictures. Hope you enjoyed them! As you can see, my London life is filled with art, music gigs, cultural happenings, and spectacular night life. What more could you ask for? Well, it could be less expensive, and I could be with family. Those are two. But basically, I'm making the most of my time while I'm here. I'll be back in the States soon enough. Then, I'll downgrade my cost of life and be with my family/friends again!
