Friday I stayed at work late so I didn't feel much like going out. I went to the store, grabbed a bottle of wine and a frozen pizza (how cliché). Anyway, I stayed home and drank nearly the entire bottle while trying to figure out the darn stove. I don't get how they work. You would think it would be easy but there are lots of buttons and temperature gages. I gave up and stuck the pizza in the microwave.
Two most difficult appliances so far: Stove and washer/dryer.
They washer and dryer are the same unit. I was aware of how crappy they are but I didn't expect them to be this bad. It takes over and hour to wash and almost two hours to dry. And 99% of the time, your clothes are NOT dry! So what you end up doing is throwing some fabric softener in the washer and hang drying all your clothes. It BLOWS! I tried dryer sheets to no avail. Blast!
Saturday I showed two girls from the CNN Atlanta the London buro. They took pictures and I checked my email. So they were just sightseeing so I went with them. We went shopping down Oxford Street and I almost bought a pair of boots. Note: British sizes are 2 sizes off from American so I was a nice size 7...how wonderful! We went to Camden Market. NOT like I thought but still it was a sight to see. I felt like I walked into a 80's video. Lots of puck rockers wearing all the normal garb, grunge, goth, totally random. But we did find a nice clean Thai place so you know I was in heaven. Then we went to the British Museum to see the Rosetta Stone and then home. Saturday night we just went to dinner and that was it! Since all the pubs close at 11pm it's kind of a pain. You really have to go out early!
So this morning I got up early and moved all my stuff into my new place "home". It's a nice place and it was just cleaned so it looks all sparkly and clean. It's seriously double the size of Mat's condo so I will be able to hang all my clothes and it will be great!
Most exciting news of the week: Grey's Anatomy is coming to England! I can't wait! The commericals are so great and they will be starting from the beginning. They have a couple random shows from the US. Prison Break, American Idol, Law and Order, CSI and some others.
My friends Mike and Lauren are leaving Chicago tonight and arriving in London tomorrow morning. They are here for 10 days so that is going to be alot of fun.
