Most bad decisions start with Absinthe

I have a lot of stories I want to tell you guys, but some of them don't belong on the internet. So they will have to wait until I can see you in person.

In the meantime, here is a brief outline so I don't forget the important bits:

• "You're in Britain now, grow up" - quote from Cute Bartender to me
• Beetlejuice pants
• Stealing glasses
• Standing on the couches in the JCR and signing the National Anthem = not okay...apparently
• 221b Baker Street is not actually at 221b Baker Street
• Riding on trains backwards is the worst
• Lady Chapel
• Ely
• Eels
• National Portrait Gallery
• London, the day after the Olympics open
• Kings Cross Station, on time as always
• Don't buy cupcakes from cupcake stand on The Tube
• In England The Golden Compass is called Northern Lights
• "This is how I die" i.e. "The Most Dangerous Game"
• Seedy biker bar, in which I "fit in"
• Children are the worst. Period. 
• Everyone loves the devil duck and the photos that result 
• "Rachel...Henry VIII's second wife"
• Wax figures

I'm sure there are other things I want to tell you, but like I have this midterm paper for Shakespeare that's due on Wednesday and there are midweek shenanigans for which I must prepare. Also I'm leaving for Scotland on Thursday, so yes.

I hope all is well back in the States. I shall be returning in a little over a fortnight.

Here's a song
