  • gypsy’s warning

    A quiet word to an employee or aquaintance, suggesting that they’d best proceed with caution in respect of their current conduct or attitude, or they may be in for an unpleasant surprise. The details of which aren’t actually set out by the giver of the warning, who may or may not have control over their…

  • Still Sunny, Go Figure

    On Drew’s walk today he took a moment to capture the Closed Caption Camera that were eyeing him… And he caught something that really makes me feel like Summer is not far away. Can’t wait to share these in person with all of you!

  • Another Random Wednesday

    The flowers that Drew brought me for my birthday had a special surprise in store… And there is a premiere brewing in Leicester Square. We had lunch at V & M Express today. Be sure to check out the review!

  • A Perfect Day for a Picnic

    Oh, where to begin… The sun in London yesterday was enough to distract me from my job search (and the website update “to do” list). I walked to Covent Garden to buy my birthday present from Drew. It’s an awesome way to get exactly what you want – and when you are shopping at Lush…

  • Red Nose Day

    Today I had a lovely afternoon tea at a cafe called Allans near Bond Street Station.  It is truly lovely, with a comfortable atmosphere. The patisserie was extremely busy, but the staff were attentive and friendly nonetheless.  I appreciated the inviting decor and was thoroughly impressed by the quality of the sugar.  It might sound…

  • A Beautiful Birthday Story

    Long ago (yesterday, the 11th) and far, far away (use google maps) in a land called London, there a lived a girl who had a beautiful birthday. Her day began when a handsome prince, and an uncharacteristically cheerful sunrise, woke her. A box came. A very sexy bunch of flowers lay inside – from queens…

  • Happy 311 Day

    Real quick update before we call it a day. Jen says thank you for all the birthday well-wishes. She was especially touched by the flowers (you know who you are). I will also mention that someone got his wife flowers as well in an attempt to be a good husband. Jen met me for lunch…

  • The Weekend of IKEA, House, and Watchmen

    So, the weekend is coming to a close and I have agreed to write a blog entry – lucky you. 🙂 I really enjoyed this weekend (though we still have the evening to go before it is time for bed). Jen and I didn’t overcommit to costumes or parties or walking or cleaning or laundry.…

  • There’s No Place You Can Hide

    I can find something nice to say about anything.  Don’t test me.  You. will. lose. Here’s the conundrum:  I just saw STOMP at the Ambassador Theatre in London’s West End.  You need to understand that I did not, at any moment, find myself searching for something nice to say.  Rather, I worried that mere words could…

  • Slow As Molasses

    Yes, this is what you think it is.  My question is, “why?” On my way to Borough Market today I passed another peaceful protest.  Ah, London… There is still no news on the job front at the moment, though I continue to actively pursue work that doesn’t involve measuring detergent or chasing dust bunnies.  Soon.

  • Let’s Do Lunch

    Ah, the joys of lunching in Central London!  The crowds are thick, queues are long, and real Londoners never look at the menu.  You should walk in and fire off your order, like a round from a machine gun, as soon as any person behind the counter makes first eye contact with you.  Don’t wait to…
