Two nights ago, for some reason, after we got back to the college, there were really loud fireworks (and King's College was lit spectacularly in bright blue). I got pictures of it, but what were they doing at 10:00 with fireworks?

Yesterday we went to London and saw all sorts of cool stuff. The Tower was spectacular, and the tour was funny as... something that's funny. Not hell, though. Anyway, we decided to skip the crown jewels, as much as I love rocks, because the line was ridiculous and nobody was doing anything else. We saw the Bloody Tower, the Chapel (less impressive than I was expecting, but still beautiful and old), the White Tower (not Minas Tirith by any means but very cool with armory and stuff), and a bunch of courtyards where they executed people. I had emailed Salad that we were eating there, but the restaurant was ridiculously full, so we waited outside for about 45 minutes, keeping an eye out for him. It was pretty pleasant, though he never showed up.

Then we went to the Victoria & Albert museum, which was pretty cool, even if we had only 45 minutes to zoom through. The Art Nouveau exhibit I saw last time we went was gone, and there was a paid Deco one instead (we didn't go). We saw the European and British exhibits (very quickly) and they were impressive. I love Hindu religious art.

After waiting for our deputy director to come pick us up at a place she'd specified and then changed, another one took us across the street to the Natural Science Museum (we opted not to go to Harrod's). It was tremendously impressive, and the rocks there ade up for not seeing the crown jewels. I love rocks. There was also a whole wing of taxonomy to zoom through on the way to the main entrance that Suz insisted I see (she was right, it was mind-blowing). There was a huge model of the earth that one went through up the escalator. It was purple.

Then we went to a pizza place for a birthday on the way to the play, and it was good. I had a nice caesar salad.

The play was very deep and thought+provoking. I had a hard time deciding if I agreed with the protagonist when he was in the wrong or once he had his epiphany. Oh, it was Brand, by Ibsen. Jenny should read it.

The we got back at around 000 in the morning, which was neat to see on the bus clock. I took a picture of it at 11.23, though, which was interesting regarding the Curse (or blessing) of Susan.

It is quite difficult to tzpe on this kezboard, as zou can see, because a lot of the letters are reversed (y and z and apostrophe and both of the parentheses, but Iąve managed). Anzwaz, we are going to London again todaz. I may not ge the internet for awhile, but I will tell zou when I do.

If you want to look at the pictures I successfully uploaded, zou can type in the urls for them, because I am too layz to link to them all. On angelfire, thez go from http://www.angelfire.com/realm/ailuria/Im000010.jpg to 58, and I had to make a new site to fit the rest (and another for next time). The next ones are on http://www.angelfire.com/realm3/ailuria/Im000059.jpg through 128. However, since I deleted a few I did not like, there are gaps of up to four numbers in a row, so donąt worrz. If zou canąt see them, then fix them in some program because I would be really disappointed to have deleted them all and not be able to look at them.

It has been fun. Seeya
