I went to the Lord's office for the first time today and became acquainted acquainted with Arancha, the administrative assistant, and Yoav, the other intern. They were SO nice it was unbelieveable. I planned to make it a quick visit, but after Yoav got there, I ended up talking to him and wandering around the Westminster neighborhood/backroad markets for 4 hours. Good times. Noodle salad.
On a more light-hearted note, Chelsea got hit on by one of the Queen's guardsmen. Yeah, they aren't supposed to talk but according to him, he "gets bored." He asked for her number and he moved her gun slightly so she could slip it in his coat pocket. Random, I know...but that's London.
Another story. Word of the wise: don't go in a pub that looks posh or that you read about in a travel book. I went to one Saturday night with some friends and we got sent to the basement. Clearly, we didn't have enough black clothing and thick enough eyeliner. It would have been a cool bar though. Sometimes they have sushi and they had a bright pink vending machine that looked like it stored Sapporo. Oh well, in another life with more black I suppose.
