a "to do list" for shannon and jesse

i wanted to make sure you guys get to do some of the stuff i got to do in london. click on the pictures for the websites.


the wapping project. i would show you a picture of the inside, but id rather you be amazed by the website or the actual place. i will honestly say this was one of the best places i have ever been in my life, food-wise, art-wise, culture-wise, everything in one. its located off the Wapping stop on the East London line of the underground


tate modern. this could either take you a few hours or a few days depending on how well you enjoy it. its free unless you want to go to the special gallerey for that time, so it is well worth it to check out. i believe if you take the Jubilee line to Southwark there will be signs out there for the museum.


camden town. its pretty much a giant market every day of the week. much like haight street mixed with every thrift shop in the world. its fun walking through even if you arent buying anything. there is the best english breakfast i have ever had at this little cafe along Arlington Road (it would help to look at the map on the website), its near that 54, but its not that. i actually went to this restaurant both times ive been out to london. take the Northern line to Camden Town. everything is directly outside of the station and all around.


brick lane. great indian food all over the place. too many places to choose from. also great shops all around. sundays have great markets there. take the Hammersmith & City, Circle, Metropolitan, and Central lines to Liverpool Stattion, which is a station that you should probably see anyways.


the columbia road flower market. on sundays (i believe, check the website), there is a great flower market. even if you dont buy flowers you can taste cheeses and wines and look at artists make stuff. shannon you would love to take pictures here. jesse, you might. this is off the East London line at Shoreditch

thats all i can think of right now. maybe some more each day or something, but most of these places are going to be in the area that you will probabbly be jesse, assuming that you will be near hoxton square with emily and tim. but thats all i have for now.

reason to dislike starbucks

starbucks has a location at the forbidden city in beijing, one of the mose historical places in the world.
click on that to see more pictures of it

the virgin suicides
the book by jeffrey eugenides and the movie by sofia coppola were both amazing to me. and i dont know why.

whatever happened to predictability?
my life has become predictable.

start the day with the same routine. put on my work clothes. but not my socks and shoes. i will soon put those on once i am downstairs.

walk from my car to my work with my apron, my book and my lunch all in my left hand.

on my lunch break you can find me outside with my legs on a separate chair, reading, and eating the same turkey and provolone sandwich, daily. with a grande ice water without a lid.

i think i found my comfortable moment.
