I don't talk much about the Clanricarde flat except for its location and Herbet the Electricity Machine...did I mention that Herbet's lock was never really locked and now we aren't paying for electricity? This is wonderful. We are saving tons of money right now. tons.
No, but our cozy flat has its wonderful kooks. I shower up on the english third (american fourth) floor because it's the cleanest shower in our house and it smells least like old man poop. I go potty up there as well (this makes for an interesting dash when you really gotta go). Our window (besides being upwind from our neighbor's bathroom) has the perfect view of a concrete and two maxi pads have found their residence there. I have no idea why people threw maxi pads out their window but Casie and I find it enjoyable to stare at them for seconds and then look away in disgust. hehe. But- alas! I am not complaining. Because of these kooks and quirks I have come to love 43 Clanricarde with ALL of my heart. I enjoy this small flat and its absurdities. I even find it comforting to come home to someplace simple, and inconvienant.
Tonight I purposefully made no plans. I have two days off in a row and I wanted to fill them up to the top. Possibilities surround Soho, Abbey Road, Covent Gardens, and The British Art Museum. But it all really just depends on the weather (aka- rainy and cold- Abbey Road and The British Art Museum, hot and sunny- Covent Gardens and Soho). I might go to St. James park for a picnic lunch if the sun decides to shine again. Silly old starbucks wanted me to work tomorrow at portobello market. I said noway hosea. That place is chaos. Any starbucks in the middle of a tourist attraction (aka, the one I work in) is chaos. Send me to the starbucks in the corner of nottinghill that no one goes to...ppppllllleeeeaaassee.
I might want to own my own laundromat someday. Casie thinks that I'm insane. But I would love to have a vintage laundromat all to myself. But, it would be a classy laundromat- reasonably and I would painted it pea green with bright blue washing machines. The idea would be that it would be next to that "funky" coffee house I want to own someday and maybe down on the corner from both the laundromat and coffee house would be that bed and breakfast/house that I would live in. Sound likes a plan, eh? haha.
Oh and world cup update, England won, and so did some other teams. (can you tell that I'm into it??) I love that this whole country is infected with world cup disease. Flags, bags, tshirts, mugs, faces, chests, everything is red and white here. oh and speaking of red and white...my favorite fireworks celebration is coming up. We are floating down the Thames with a bunch of Americans on a big boat. I think Miss Mary Chiles from MoState is coming to stay before her brief excursion to Cambridge. Fun, fun.
i saw a sign yesterday advertising a rare picasso exhibition. I must go look into that.
i miss everyone so much. I am desperately seeking emails from friends- what is life like back at home?
ps- happy birthday to joe today
