So . .
In the absence of anything to say specifically, in the past week I have seen a lot of notable architecture, seen some cool exhibits, done some shopping, and caught some good music. That's a brief summation, but accurate.
But I fugured you would be more interested in some little things about London. So here's a list of 10 things I love and 10 things I hate.
Things I love
1) Coke has SUGAR in it. Adds a whole new dimension of flavor (it tastes better)
2) Buskers, or people that play music in the tube stations here, are actually talented.
3) Free newspapers. Even if they're trashy, they're something to keep you head buried in so you don't have to look at people on the Tube.
4) Children with British accents are funny. Really really funny.
5) Old women with British accents are funny. Really really funny. Sometimes they have biscuits as well.
5) HobKnobs were a great idea. Oats and chocolate, dipped in coffee. Who knew?
6) Food is super multicultural. I had no idea curry could be so different.
7) Piccadilly Square is a lot like Times Square, just classier.
8) There actually aren't any Werewolves in London. Warren Zevon, anyone? Anyone?
9) There is still frisbee here
10) Peanut Butter has sugar in it, instead of corn syrup. Not as sweet.

10 things not so great about London
1) Peanut Butter has sugar in it, instead of corn syrup. Weird.
2) Mice are still annoying here.
3) So are landlords.
4) Washer/dryers really just means washer + lie.
5) There's no chicken broth! I don't understand!
6) There's only so much "mind the gap" that you can take.
7) London. Is. Expensive.
8) Why can't I watch the Office online? Man!
9) Why do pubs close at 11 on my road? Don't they know that's when we usually arrive?
10) I miss some aspects of home, like Ithaca townies, Mom's cooking, and certain likeable folk.

Ciao for now!
