I am SO HAPPY to be here! Wow. I wasn’t expecting to feel this way. I feel pretty euphoric right now and honestly, I can’t remember the last time I felt this way. It’s strange, but I feel like I’m…home. Today I experienced this feeling for the first time since I left the US 19 months ago. It’s such a lovely feeling. I’d forgotten what it feels like, to be home.
I already ate fish and chips. There’s a shop right around the corner from where I’m living — how could I not? I eat fish and chips in London, I take photos of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Mine is a clichéd existence. [The guy working in the shop has heard of the Yankees but not the Boston Red Sox. Wah???]
I could not have had a more horrific send-off from Paris, let me tell you. But I won’t get into that right now. Suffice it to say that I was so excited to get to London that I filmed my arrival. I know that’s dorky, but the fact that I’m a dork is nothing new to any of you.
Right now I’m fighting the urge to go to sleep. I’m so tired. But I will try to go out and take a walk…maybe. Before I go, I must tell you that the taxi driver who picked me up from Waterloo said my big red suitcase is the heaviest suitcase he’s ever lifted in his 24 years of being a taxi driver. If you didn’t believe me before when I told you I am insane when it comes to packing, I hope you believe me now.
Here’s to new beginnings and fresh starts! Hurrah!

April 13th, 2007 at 6:34 pmYAY that you made it safely to London!
What you wrote about your red suitcase CRACKED ME UP!!!
Your photo has me craving fish & chips. It may not be as good as the fish and chips in London, but I think I may have to pay a visit to NYC’s A Salt & Battery or The Chip Shop for some fish & chips!

Rome… er, London

April 13th, 2007 at 9:19 pmThere’s no place like Home, and no place like London. I wished you’d been there 2 weeks ago, I would have joined you for fish and chips!
Delighted you’re back where you belong!

William: Remember when you and D- had to drag it up that steep hill in front of your house? Wait, of course you remember. How could you forget?
Aloha: Thanks! Those fish and chip shops in NYC look delish. I mean, how hard is it to deep fry fish and potatoes? A macaron, on the other hand…
Jen: Definitely! Except you’ll never get me to drink a pint [I'm just warning you!]. No cheese in France, no beer in England. Yes, that’s me…Super Freak! Once I finish this *insane* full-time training course that starts next week, I will have a real proper life. See you in May?!
Lillie: What terrible timing! I’m crushed! But I have a hunch…that you’ll be back?

welcome back! I’m going to be away from the blog for a week, but I will be sure to play catch up when I am back

April 14th, 2007 at 2:39 amHi. New fan here in NYC. Yes, I do remember that the fish and chips were really yummy, but I’m with Aloha. Salt and Battery is not half bad, but will have to check out The Chip Shop…
Happy adventures in LONDON.

Korova: Wherever you’re going, mate, have a great time!
Ang: Thanks for reading! I urge you to eat fish and chips…wherever you may find them.

Welcome, welcome, welcome!
Fish & Chips, yum. Perhaps it’s time for lunch already -
