Covent Gardens / Cabinet War Rooms / Killer Queen!
Kettle Chips: Best chips ever! Comes in some yummy flavors!
10:30 am we bought tickets for We Will Rock You (Musical based on Queen's songs) for £25 at Leicester Station (1/2 price tickets).
We strolled through Covent Gardens where they have little shop and food vendors-
and I bought world famous laduree macaroons.
Flavors: Chocolate, Rose, Vanilla, Pistachio, Butter Caramel, Madagascar Chocolate, Coffee, and Melon.
I tried a jacket potato from ULU right before class (hot potato with cold chicken, ham, sweetcorn, and mayo). NOT MY FAV. It was like eating chicken salad on a hot potato.
In class at 1pm, we watched the German Episode of Faulty Towers. Really funny! John Cleese comic genius!
"Don't Mention the War..."
"fire... Fire... FIRE!"
Ed & Hayley were playing with their sonic screwdrivers in class. I love that we all bring our new toys to class.
Look at all of those Doctor Who Novels- This show has a STRONG presence here because it is SOOO ENGLISH. More than STAR WARS!
The other night Lisa and I couldn't get on to the internet OR get the tele to work (Film majors I know?!) and we played with the lego Doctor Who characters and tardis!
(We had two doctors (they came in SURPRISE packages where we didn't know what we'd get), so there's a dead doctor in the tardis and Amy has come back in time with the Tardis to warn the past doctor of all the badies right behind him! hahaha)
After class we went to the Cabinet War Rooms where Churchill conducted the war- I thought it would be soooo boring but there was SOOOO many interactive exhibits and and awesome audio guide that it proved to be rather fascinating.
While waiting for people to exit the war rooms, those of us sat outside on the grass and laid out. Sterling was giving us his LONDON overall rap, Shelia was reading a magazine, and Hayley, Lisa, and I were sharing freshly honey roasted nuts. A bee came round Sterling flipped his shit! Jumping up and running around yelling! SO FUNNY!
As Ed is playing with his electric screw driver (Doctor Who). Ryan and Steven are fencing like knights with sticks. Then Sterling comes in with a stick, waves it around, and yells some gibberish and acts like he casts a spell from Harry Potter. Silly boys!
Luckily I caught it all on video. : )
After we ran to Oxford Circus (our theatre production located around the corner) and caught a SALE on at TOP SHOP! I bought a coin purse for all my bloody english coins!!! It's much more practical to hold on to change here since it goes up to bigger denominators.
(1p, 2p, 5 pence, 10 pence, 20 pence, 50 pence,
1£, 2£- and the smallest paper note is a 5£)
We at the Macroons in the theatre and enjoyed the Queen Rock Musical! Fabulous and cheesy but it was the closest to seeing Queen! We sang our hearts out.
Their encore was Bohemian Rhapsody! <3
Cyberspace Ga Ga!
