London town


My, oh my, do I love it here...

It may just be getting away from the industry for a bit, or the fact that everyone says the word "lovely" as much as we say the word "the"....

Either way, I'm relishing every second of it.

I was mildly touristy today -- went on The Eye (which is a massive ferris wheel that gives you a panoramic view of the city), had a fantastic lunch on a little cobblestone street (the name of which was too obscure for me to remember), and saw Corinne Bailey Rae (whom I love love love) perform for about 50 people.

It was just a perfect night, that ended with a dinner of sushi and sake, and my boyfriend twirling me down a quiet street en route to our hotel. (Please note -- when I'm happy, I revert to my 6 year old self who loves to twirl, skip, and jump).

I'm having a blast, and relishing the escape from my industry bubble.

Tomorrow's agenda -- find a dress for the premiere, continue to eat calorie laden British fare, try to see a show, and get lost in SoHo.

Sometimes we all need to recharge, and this is my chance.

*It's weird -- as I'm typing this, I'm second guessing if there's anything negative I should include about my day....any sad or demeaning story to tell....any casting woe, or job lost (as though somehow, if I have a actress-y sob story it will make me more likeable/relatable/understandable) -- but the truth of the matter is, I just feel plain old fashioned happy today...and there's nothing sad to tell. Yay*

  2. The mustard in England! So good! And Strongbow is a fantastic cider to try when you're at the pub.

  3. Yay!! Love relating to your stories. Hearing that all my problems won't be solved when I get one step further ahead, just new/different problems. I look forward to every post. I live vicariously.
    A little escapism is nice, too!! Enjoy every second of it!! It's part of what you work so hard for- moments like these- happiness.
