Meet my new excuse for everything. The pound is currently equal to 1.5 dollars (a relative low in the history of dollar-pound relations). What else to do but indulge?
I spent the weekend going out for meals with various friends (an unprecedented level of socialness here in London) and eating lots of bacon. After submitting a paper on Thursday, I was pretty much relieved of any school-related responsibilities/thoughts for the near future. The weather has been very temperamental, but there have been windows of sunshine and relative warmth which have made life much more pleasant.
Last night Miranda and I went to a Hot Chip concert! They were great live—we both enjoyed their newest music much more live than we did when we listened to it beforehand. While the concert was a lot of fun, it was also a testament to the fact that we are both highly irritable people, as we managed to get into quarrels with more than one fist pumper in our vicinity. The commute home from the venue (in Brixton) was nightmarish, but we saw many characters on the bus that night, and we met a very nice couple that recommended some places to go in east London.
Today is a lazy Sunday in every sense of the phrase. It's rainy and cold out and even my double-shot vanilla coffee couldn't wake me up. It's alright though, I feel I've had a pretty active weekend (with shamefully little sleep). I plan to spend 75% of this day in a horizontal position, and I won't feel the least bit guilty about it. Mmm.
