I worked on a Sunday folks (tolja it's not glamorous!) and ran back to the hotel to escape the monstrosities of the office...so dreadfully dreary without a soul in sight! I've made BFFs with the weekend guard Ivan or as he likes it pronounced "Eeeeeevaaaahn." Heard about the Yankees parade from a friend and am totally jealous that I wasn't there to run around in my Yankees dress and celebrate--grrr!
Had dinner plans with a coworker and almost cancelled because it was all of 28 degrees outside and POURING raining!! The kind of rain that you envision yourself getting washed away and catching a cold from! The kind of night where all you want to do is change into your pajamas and get cozy underneath your white warm goose-down comforter and drown your headache away in a sea of pillows...but no...I reluctantly squeezed into skinny jeans (because I'm not skinny enough to slink 'em on after all these carbs I've been putting down), put on my winter coat and winter flat suede boots and realized...I don't have an umbrella. No way I was gonna brave the rain without one so I kindly asked the hotel concierge to lend me one. He obliged ever so politely and told me that there would be a small teensy fee of $60 held on my hotel charge until I brought it back!!!!!! I awaited the umbrella that I expected to be encrusted in black diamonds and rubies that maybe Michael Jackson had once touched for that price (it was a plain grey one that I think I saw at a Dollar Store once!)
I saw many many things this night including the following I must tell ya'll about:
1. 12 homosexual couples freely being homolicious. 457 heterosexual couples being freely heterolicious. Blech to both. Holding hands is for the weak!
2. A woman rolling a joint of ganja right in front of my face after which I could have sworn I got a contact high from because I immediately craved chocolate afterwards..but then again I always crave chocolate so there's no telling about that one
3. Sting in Covent Garden at the Nike store...you would think he could shop online on a day like this! He's grown a Moses beard and wears woolen sweaters now...very un "Police"-like.
4. Katy Perry on every channel on TV apparently becoming the hottest new thing...love her...so quirky..so funny...so reeeeeeeeal!
5. NOBODY wearing the same elbow-length winter gloves I have yet...yes!!! Finally -- something original!
6. Black people talking like uptight British white people.."cheerio Love" and "right then daaahhling" and all! Indians talking like uptight Brits. Arabs talking like uptight Brits...what a monstrosity!!
7. Went to a restaurant called Wasabi. You choose your own individual pieces of sushi!!!! Never again will I have to suffer through those unwanted "Avacado rolls" or "eel ngiri" fillers! Whoo-whoo!
8. Every single police officer in the busiest city in the world going out of their way to be uber nice to the citizens of London....AMAZING!!!!!
Until tomorrow folks...alf vedersein.
