For Halloween Kat and I were going to go to this club SIN, but when we got there the queue was really long so we just decided to wander through Soho and find a fun club. We met this one girl who was dressed as a cat, I believe, and she told us about this club and took us there, but it ended up being an older crowd so we kept on wandering. Eventually we found a club that Kat had heard about before and we hung out there for the night. I danced until about 2 am when my body finally gave into exhaustion. On the way home we got a huge batch of hot chips with salt and vinegar on them and it was pretty much the tastiest thing ever.
Saturday I was going to go to Portobello Rd to get my eyebrow pierced (!), but the place was closed. Perhaps when I get back from my 10 day break. Speaking of, Sunday Kat and I planned our 10 day trip; we are going to Spain (Valencia, Barcelona?) and Italy (Rome, Venice?, SICILY!). I am ridiculously excited!
Sunday was also wonderful because the DeStasios, the biology professors here, invited a bunch of us over to their flat for dinner. Having a real meal was so awesome! And it was so delicious! And we played pictionary and just hung out; it was a nice night.
Today we took a trip to the Imperial War Museum for the British Life and Culture class; it was an interesting museum, mostly for the sake of it creating interesting discussions about the nature of war.
Later we all went to a play that was actually really good. It's called War Horse, and it's originally a children's book. It's about this boy and his horse whom he loves very much but is given to the soldiers for WWI. He ends up actually enlisting just to find his horse and be with him. The story itself was really cute, but what was impressive was that they had life size 'puppets' for the horses. There was this sort of horse frame with two people inside controlling the leg movements and one guy outside controlling the head. It sounds bizarre but it was really well done.
