huzzah!!!! the jet lag has left and now i'm starting to feel much much better. today we slept in and then went shopping! they have all sorts of stores here and everything is brick and the roads are cobblestone and i took a picture of what kate calls 'the ugliest building in existence'. i would probably have to agree. it's a very tall rectangular building with huge blocks of grey and white squares in a checkered pattern. yuck. i also saw a store called 'pleasure time'. ha ha. anyways, after shopping we made dinner and watched centre stage. tomorrow there's some huge mega pub crawl kinda deal that starts at 3pm. the theme is 'the world cup'. oi. i have never been to anything quite like this before so it should be interesting!!! tomorrow morning i'll be going with kate and her flatmates to leeds university as they have an exam in the morning. i'm trying to think if anything else exciting has happened. i took a bunch of pictures today and i'll try to insert them later. i think i'm gonna watch a movie and then hit the sack as tomorrow i think will be much dancing and partying. hip hip!!
ps. what is the state of the playoffs?  ¶ 11:56 AM 1 comments

  jet lag is the pits. i'm at kate's now and fortunately i made it here safely and all my luggage arrived. matchpoint was the movie from edmonton to toronto and then from toronto to london, tristan and isolde was the movie de choix. when i got to heathrow i made it to the bus station to catch a bus to central london and then i had to transfer to another bus to get to leeds. while at this central bus station, i saw the grossest thing ever: a pigeon with a stump for a leg. no claws or anything. just a stump. and it hobbled. aie. anyways, and then i really needed to use the washroom but no one provided any change for the money that i had so i had to run across streets to find a store that would change my money and then run back to use the loo. oi. anyways, i haven't slept in a very very very long time and i have that weird sort of delusional state where i feel kinda majorly out of it and kinda majorly sick. hopefully this will pass. i had to skip out on the activities of this evening which kinda sucked because kate and her flat mates are all going to a bar in a boat. anyways, i'm going back to bed. adios.  ¶ 11:36 AM 3 comments
