Good grief. Yesterday was loooooooonnnngg. Waited for Dame Edna ALL DAY LONG. Because of forces beyond our control (time diffs/dame edna/western union) we were unable to secure the place until 2:00 AM. Yes, Lauren and I wandering the streets of London after dark and navigating the night busses wasn't my idea of fun. Not to mention the stress of HAVING TO GET IT ALL DONE. Went to sleep at 3:00 safe in the warm stench of (both pairs) of my shoes (and Lauren's pink converse sneakers). Poor Rosa, our Italian roommate...she had to suffer through our giggling at the Snoring Korean and the Stench. Rosa's idea of a bath is to stand topless in front of the mirror and sink and vigerously scrub her hairy armpits with the bars of soap the hostel provided. An interesing sight to behold. Yeah, she contributed in no small part to the Stench.

Sent off more CV's today. The job hunt is on top speed now that we have a place to stay. Went to Camden Palace last night to hear five minutes of the Strokes after Dame Edna. Indie rock night was sorely missed but next tuesday is on.
