repeat #2 - go vikings! | 12.SEP.2008
My friend Alex was in England again for work recently and we got a chance to catch up a bit, amongst my family visits as well. As you may recall, alex is a superstar because he was my first visitor last year - and now he has visited again! way to go, Mr. Minnesota! Also we went out with his coworkers, who are super nice and from Ohio. Go go midwest!
Yay. http://picasaweb.google.com/lindsaycarol/Repeat2#
mum-ma mia! | 10-17.SEP.2008
my mom came here! yay for "mum"! she also visited for a week, overlapping a few days while my sister was here, and then stayed with me in my little flat after they left. i think i may have walked her halfway around london, but as is the usual induced-exhaustion of my visitors. . . .heeee. Ooops. We had lots of excitement from "tea with the queen", to the theatre, to drinking at the pub, to truffles at Harrods, and me getting my purse stolen (oops again), etc. I made her try dim sum and also indian food - and of course the usual fish and chips. I loved her visit and can't wait to see my fam again! what was your favorite thing, mom?

sis + bro | 6-13.SEP.2008
my favorite sister, stephanie, and her husband, wil, came to visit me in london for a week. i squeezed them into my tiny flat and we had a great time pub-crawling around the town together. it was so great to have family here for the first time! xoxoxo

since 1985 | 1.SEP.2008
one of my best friends on the planet was in london a night to see me on her way back to los angeles from the summer in africa . . . (oh and she's a bigger nerd than me - doing her phD at UCLA - so 3 cheers to being a starving students again!)
repeat #1 - the sarah! | 30.AUG.2008
sarah visited (again!) for a couple nights. she is a superstar (as you can see her, very smiley, here with Nigel the Duck, our new friend.)
sarah is my first friend to visit 2 times! Less than one year since her last trip to London. now that is cool. extra points for the sarah! come on people, start catching up!!!

pouring pints | 7.JUL.2008 - 12.SEP.2008
this summer i worked full-time at a Pub. Yep, pretty funny eh? It was more exhausting than i expected, but a good work-out and nice to be standing up, moving my body - rather than sitting staring at my laptop all day. I made some good friends and really enjoyed being 'sociable' again! fun fun. so now i am an expert 'barmaid'. ha!
i'm continuing to work on the weekends this fall to earn a little extra cash. The pub is called the Horse and Groom and owned by the small british brewery, Samuel Smith. It sells only its own beers and actually is really cheap for london prices: 2pounds/pint! 128 Great Portland Street, W1W. CHEERS!

I realize that i haven't been updating the blog lately, though i don't know if anyone has noticed! :(
Anyway, i am alive, working, sleeping, etc. and will add some new posts shortly describing what i have been up to this summer, i.e. working at a pub, moving apartments again, hosting visiting friends and family, and preparing for return to thesis maddness! [yess i mean maddness with 2(d)s!]
also i would love to know what all of you are up to. Please email me. i'm not dead - just in london!
No, Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford." — Samuel Johnson
