Hey Remember That Time (like the Regina Spektor song!)

Remember that one time that I was seeing Henry IV Part I at Shakespeare's globe, and I was in the standing area where there is no roof, and it rained the entire time? Yeah.... not fun.

That's the first time I've ever left a show at intermission, and I felt awful about it, but without a raincoat or umbrella it was starting to suck. Plus, I had read the script before so I knew what was going to happen, and the tickets were only 5 pounds.

All that aside though, the show itself was pretty good! Falstaff was hysterical and prince Hal was really good too! Hotspur.... Hotspur kept doing these weird pelvic thrust motions and looked like a bad Jake Gyllenhall rip off...

Shakespeare's Globe. In the middle where all the people are is where I stood... In the rain.

Remember that other time that Laura and I got free tickets to a show (paid for by the Government in a program to get underprivileged youth, or in this case poor college students, into the theatre. THANKS!), were seated in the very front row, and BAM! NAKED PEOPLE!!!

The show was called The Big Fellah, and was all about an Irish guy in NY in the 70's and 80's working for the IRA and the FBI at the same time. Really good show minus one or two of the actors. And did I mention there were naked people?

Now, we have had the discussion about appropriate and inappropriate nudity on stage, and I feel as if this was inappropriate. Presumably, the couple had just had sex, and were on the couch together when the scene started. So, them being naked (or more precisely with their undies around their ankles) was genuine and realistic. However, if would have also been realistic, and far less distracting, if they just had their underwear on like they just slipped it back on real quick. Eh, whatever. I won't complain. :)

Lets see... what else...

Today, in my Art and Society class, we went to St. Paul's cathedral (you know, the big one) which was astounding all by itself, but we also climbed to the top! Lots of stairs. Lots and lots of stairs. But once up there the view was amazing, and just being in a building that has so much history was so humbling.

Nerd alert (Scott, I'm looking at you here): The whole time I was there, I felt like I was playing Assassin's Creed. More specifically, Assassin's Creed II. Especially when we got to the top. :D

Yeah, we climbed that. :)

Once Facebook stops being dumb, photos will be posted there.

Tube strikes are dumb. On monday, the Tube workers went on strike, so the ENTIRE CITY was forced to use other means of transportation. AKA: Buses. It took forever to get anywhere because traffic was so bad, and trying to cram all of London onto a few double decker buses is ridiculous. Tube workers, I appreciate you. I can't pay you any more than I already do, but please know that I appreciate you and would love it if you didn't go on strike again while I'm here. Kthanks.

This weekend is PARIS. Train leaves at 5:45am, which I am NOT excited about, but we're still going to PARIS. And I get to see Annie and Andrew, which is totes awesome.

Peace and Blessings, peace and blessings.
