Back in London

So I'm getting complaints again because my blog is not updated. Sorry ya'll, but I went back to California for two weeks, and as it usually is in the OC, it was a pretty uneventful two weeks. Life in California is as idyllic as it looks on the telly. It's just sunshine and palm trees. And nothing ever happens!

But now, I'm back in London where it's gloomy and sometimes, stuff happens. I've been jetlagged. Usually, I'm not, but this time I am. Perhaps it's because I have this pile of crap to go through:


I have two papers due next week and I swear I have ADD. Where's my Ritalin?!

So I spent two weeks in the OC. It's amazing how quickly I can fall back into my life at home of doing...not much. Of course I did the important stuff like lunch at The Ivy.


The Ivy Restaurant in Beverly Hills. And no, I didn't take this picture, I found it on the Internet, because taking a camera to the Ivy...that's just so not cool. Only papparazzi take cameras to the Ivy and cause Lindsay Lohan to get in a car accident on Robertson. So no...cameras are not cool at the Ivy. And no, I didn't see any famous people this time. Usually there's a familiar face or two when you lunch at the Ivy. Still, I love the Ivy...it's one of those places that are pretensious in a way only LA can be where even little 5-year-old girls carry real LV bags and everyone eats with their sunglasses on. Of course no one really eats the food, just orders overpriced salads and pick at them...

Also did my share of shopping, but kept it limited to cheap crap this time because I realized I'm going to have to throw away 75% of my possessions in a few months to travel the globe. So I bought a lot of junk at Target, which is the best place in the world. Also ate a shitload of Mexican food. I love burritos.

I spent most of my time with my cousin Michelle. She picked me up from my mom's one day and just didn't take me home for about a week. She lives about 10 minutes away though, so I didn't go very far. It was nice since I really missed her and she refuses to get on a plane so I won't be seeing her for awhile.

Anyhow, here are some pictures I took with my camera phone when me, Shelly and Christine went to norebang.


Shelly with "imported" beer. Hahaha...I still think it's hilarious Coors Light is imported beer in London.


Christine Lee wanted to get on my blog so I took her picture.


But Christine doesn't know how to go on the Internet.

We were at norebang and you know how they have those random images when you sing American songs? Well, I actually knew some of the places now because a lot of it is from Prague since it's cheap to film there. I was singing and I was like, hey, I had coffee there! (Note to John: The cafe in front of the Astronomical Clock.) Yeah, just really random.

Also, I finally purchased my Round the World ticket. I now have plane tickets to: Istanbul, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Mumbai (Bombay), Bangkok, Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Syndney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Honolulu, and San Francisco. I will literally be going AROUND the globe. So if you're along this path, hope to see you soon! I have a year to complete it.

So yeah, I'm back in London now...back to my real life of writing papers and looking for an internship so I can finish my MA and continue on my trip around the world. I've been here 7 months now...and strangely, it is home now.

I won't be blogging for awhile since nothing's probably happening for awhile. It's just paper time. But on the 23rd, I'll be going to Graz with my friend Cathy to see our friend Sonja! Then my cousin Julie is coming out to visit me!!! and we're going to Paris and Nice. YAY!

Life is fantastic. And I am fabulous.
