cabin fever set it.

so yet another glorious week has come and gone in the queen's country. [proof is in the pay phones.] we are entering our 7th week this week and only have about a month left, which is crazy. so things are really starting to pick up. last weekend we spent fri, sat and sun in the office everyday until at least 11pm. so i began to feel a little stir crazy and realized i only have a month left and i really havent done that much so far here. so this week, while we did our work. we had to get out.

[we are going crazy spending too much time in the basement]
tuesday night devon and i went to see quidam, the cirque du soleil show. it was absolutely amazing. it was its final week and london and we happened to catch it. its just absolutely mind boggling what these people are capable of doing. the music, the acrobats, the entire show was just amazing.


and no, there are zero saftey nets and harnesses. a large part of the show was acts done very high in the air with the performers on ropes, hoops, etc.
this is the view of the shrine outside the theatre.
this is royal albert hall where the show was.

luckily, we were in the cheap seats very high up, so everything was right in front of us.
then on friday, a bunch of us from school went to see avenue q. the puppet show for adults. the show is about everything from internet porn to racism and it is so so good. the soundtrack is amazingly hilarious, so if you get a chance check it out.


then for valentines day, devon bought my rose petal tea and soap. everyone decided to go to an anti-valentines day comedy show at barcode [a gay bar]. it was absolutely hilarious and we had the best time. then we all went out to drown our sorrows of being single.


devon and i also went to camden market on saturday morning. it is by far the best open air market i've ever been too. it's located on the camden locks so its also beautiful. the range of stuff is astonishing and its huge. you need about 8hrs to really go through and look at absolutely everything. i forgot my camera that day, but i'm sure ill be back. we had some mulled wine and called it a day. amazing week. glad i finally did many of the things i wanted to do including simple things like walking through hyde park. i'm even more in love with london and unfortunately i'm an addict. sorry dad, but i've taken theatre crack and i'm addicted. london is definitely the place to go for theatre. you can get decent seats for cheap. hopefully before i leave i want to see wicked, the lion king and phantom of the opera. so we'll see. i'm giving up drinking and spending all of my money on theatre. [ha if only that were true.] amazing week. hopefully the next will be just as good.
