Lot has happened since I last took the time to type up things. Last weekend was good. Did nothing at all on Sunday (besides watch world cup, practice guitar, etc.) and on Saturday went to Camden with some of Juliet’s friends. It was nice – just went to a bar, chatted and listened to indie bands.
Weekday was mostly work for international dev. stuff. Thursday was late start to day, and then moving to new offices (better location politically). Took Friday off because dad flew in.
In the morning I showed him around my favorite spots in London (or at least most frequented): marks and spencer food; wow retro; and Westminster. He admired the layout + quality of M + S too. At wow we analyzed the Nehru collar jacket, and eventually (keep in mind this is my 3rd visit) decided to buy it. And then at Westminster got a tour of the building, which was nice. In the afternoon, stopped at a bar to watch the germany argentina football match (again, the team I was rooting for lost. Leaving me 0-9-1 for the Cup). The Tate Modern, Kandinsky exhibit, was pretty good. Worth seeing. Some I like, some I don’t really like, none I absolutely love.
Then in the evening we went out to bars in Camden. Intended to go to Barfly, a popular indie bar, but didn’t have enough cash for the cover. So then spent a half hour looking for an ATM, finally found one, paid a stupidly large fee, then went back. But before we got back to barfly we heard a neat band playing a small bar. Jumped inside and they were really good. No cover charge even. Band is here: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=44834567
Ach, have to go. Will post more later.
