RIP Paul Newman
I took the plunge and ate my meat pie for dinner tonight. It was delicious. Vegetarians are idiots.
We saw Spamalot earlier in the week at a theatre in Piccadilli Circus. Unfortunately, the London version of a circus doesn't include bearded ladies and contortionists, just over-priced nightclubs and restaurants. But the show was quite good. I saw it in New York before but it was nice to see it Monty Python's actual country; the accents were genuine, they made fun of Scotland constantly, and there were a lot of little side-remarks that only British people would get. They even made a Hockey Mom/Sarah Palin reference. Fantastic.
A friend of one of the girls I'm living with was DJing at a club in east London last night, so we made the arduous journey out there to take part. I think I was expecting something a little more like the Bulgarian techno that I've grown accustomed to, so I was a little disappointed. It would have been better if everyone in the place was dancing, but alas people are lame and refused to dance. A side note, it's legal to carry around and drink beers on the street, which is a bad idea when facing a 40 minute ride on the tube. The things we learn...
So contrary to my alleged hatred of Heroes, I decided to throw the first 2 seasons onto my computer in case I felt like watching. Well, here I am, 13 episodes in, completely addicted. There's been about 7 or 8 of us who have been watching, usually late at night, when we return from pubs or whatever else we had been doing that night. Generally, we'll sit down with the intention to watch one or two episodes and end up staying up until 5am watching like 4 or 5 at a time. Damn Heroes. Don't think I'll be watching Lost anytime soon though. I mean, I'm pretty sure they found them 2 seasons ago, so no need.

Do they have Bulgarian techno music in London?
I love your blog...I think you should be a professional blogger :). Anyway...it sounds like you're having a blast! I really really really miss you. I saw a black man the other day that looked like you...except black. But it really did look like someone took Brandon and painted him with African American paint. Crazy. It made me miss you more.
you should try to hit up the london raves. i mean... why not? apparently they are the bees knees.
also, i cant believe that you are sitting around watching heroes. thats awesome.
and i fully support the washington halloween concept. but i think maybe you should go with abe instead due to the major beardage.
