London Morning
:Breathes in fresh London air:, :sighs wistfully:It is an asskickingly great day today!!! I LOVE it! It was sssssssooo beautiful yesterday-comepltely unexpected as I anticipated just another day of clouds and rain, but I steped out, and the sun was there to greet me!(but it did in fact, retreat later and then sprinkled-lol)
Today, it is the same, and in anticipation of today, at the ungodly hour of 345AM I decided to check the weather for the next day (even though it was the next day-lol) and planned my day accordingly, deciding to go to my fave place in London: Oxford Street. I have NO clue why I like here there so much, maybe it is the name? The endless array of shops that I refuse to enter into for fear or lack of funds? Or is it the way the street goes on and on into other incarnations, such as New Oxford Street and Old Oxford Street...? Who knows! But, I decided to get real and go to Poundland (their equvalent of the dollar store in the States, but when I buy something from the store, it is not really a pound, but 2 American dollars-which may or may not be still a bargin.) But, they have good products there....
Tomorrow: Hotel Rwanda (I wish Don Cheadle had beat the "favorite" and won the Oscar! I always-always root for the underdog! If I wanted him to win before even seeing the movie, imagine what I will think of him after! It is supposed to be great! I am excited......and before that, I am finally making my way to Brixton, an all black town in S. London......I am like the only Black American who has not been there yet....so I feel obliged to do so (I will have lots more commentary on my view of African Americans vs. Black Londoners later). Plus, I want to venture out and get some Carribean food.....I just hope it tastes good, nothing annoys me most than food that I paid for that I didn't like....
Oh, and yeah, the war in Iraq and Bush, but you get the idea......
Random: Danielle's in Italy! Hope you are having a great time!!!!!
