This weekend... was a little crazy. Warwick Castle was amazing. I spent the day with Jeff, Chuck and Bill, taking so many pictures of the castle where MONTY PYTHON was filmed. I couldn't tell you too much else about the castle because I spent most of the tour part of it talking to Julie and laughing because Bill Sheasgreen would not stop looking at us. I think he thinks we are huge toublemakers. But he always takes pictures of the two of us when we go on walks, so it can't be all bad.
Stratford then, to find the birth and death places of Mr. Shakespeare. Again, a fun time. Julie met up with her beloved Loz, this guy she met at Sussex Arms (suprise! haha) and 2 of his mates. We saw this crazy crazy production of Richard III which I loved... went out to the pub, and then Chuck and Bill got me and Kate to go to the Shell station near our Bed and Breakfast for some late night sandwiches and yazoo (yohoo... but in england! its still just as gross...). By the time we got to Oxford the next day I could care less about Harry Potter. One beer and I was out for the busride home.
London, though, has been pretty fabulous. Fierce, I think is the word. Between Tyra and Dave Lease there is always something to talk about. Tyra, by the way, is our super fierce stuffed tiger named after Ms. Bank of course.
And Peace News! Apparently Andrew Frizicanno worked for them last year, haha. Anyway they have given me a bike to use for the semester, you know, to save the environment... and I get organic lunches, and I've been published online!

Ippy, the editor of the paper, is this crazzzzy woman. I mean, for this demo against trident, britains nuclear weapons system, she plans on bringing a 20 foot missle and 100 other people all dressed up cold war style. she sure was right when she said she was putting together somehting that was "a bit mad." anyway, its right near where we live, so im going to go if i can.
