the [mostly stationary] travelogue of a New Yorker in London

a hello from off the reservation

this is not about anything, its merely because i haven't said hello in a while. at some point, when i am not freaking out about visa stuff, passport stuff, work stuff, dont have people saying in my room et cetera et cetera so on and so forth; i will write something witty and entertaining, not the least of which will be informative.

however, while i sit here with two friends asleep, having decided not to shower and thus have way more time than i expected i shall give an update.

sister came down-awesome. god i love her. she is so funny and cool and easy to hang around with. i really do miss having her around.

then a few days of no one, back to my life, no memorable live music in a while, but loads of work. i think i told everyone that the embassy was a breeze and i should be getting my brand spankin' new passport soon, like today or the next...

then sunday two americans came down, awesome again. haven't seen them in a while so its been very nice. plus theres two of them so they can take care of each other.

listening to you ask? well, Tokyo Police Club's new album is downright fucking awesome. so incredibly psyched to see them in ummmmmm......13 days!

[i have linked a few times to them and am far too lazy to do so again, so this post will be link free]

[a cup of tea nearly fell on a friends head-could have been bad]

We Are The Physics of course. Camden Crawl this weekend baby! and im going to add Islands to the mix soon. so not much has changed, but the single Tessellate kind of epitomizes how i feel right now. perfect soundtrack song.

i am not ready to go home. i mean i am ready to see my family, eat some amazing food, see my friends and generally be a sloth for two weeks, but i am certainly not ready to give up this amazing life. i love it here. it is everything i had hoped and more. surprisingly more.

the fantasy i had is no match for the reality i have.

also- if i get to stay, a friend at york might be moving down here in the fall and i will have a proper roommate! so that will be more than exciting.

also i have created a plan in which i get to go back to the states twice in the summer and one of them will be partially for work so....heres hoping my ingenious plans work out

[aka i have cash for it

i have visa for it

i know i will have time for it]


i love the sun. especially here- so i leave you with the thoughts of the brilliant George Harrison

here comes the sun and its alright.
