So, I went and saw Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy...
All last week, I was like: how have I not heard of a movie with this fantastic British cast (I love British actors)? There were signs for it all over London.
And I just realized today that the U.S. release date is December 9.
Sorry to all the people I’ve been saying: “go see it” to. I’m not used to being in a place that gets something first.
Last year, I FINALLY found a...

YESSSSSSSSS.
I'm sorry, but as much as I love London:
how did people ever have the guts to move overseas before all this crazy technology and all these social networking sites?

But I can still stay in a ridiculous amount of contact with the...

Bahaha…This made me laugh when I got home. Thanks for that.
Okay, I just got the "new" Facebook...
and all I can say is: people are overreacting.
I don't have the changes to facebook on my account...
but I’m already tired of all the whining people are doing about it. It’s new—you’ll get used to it. Just like you got used to the 1,000,000 other changes since you first got your account.
Facebook’s benefits have far outweighed any slight irritation I have ever felt over something “new” being added or changed. In the grand scheme of things, it’s not...
Yogurt in Europe > > > yogurt in the U.S.
I already knew this, but I was reminded of it as I ate a “pot” of it here just a few minutes ago.
That is all.

Finally going to get my cell phone tomorrow.
Bank account. Cell phone. A place to live.

Got to talk to Anne on Skype today.
Loving London so far.
I always wanted to be just like Beatrice when I...
Beatrice: I wonder that you will still be talking, Signior Benedick: nobody marks you. Benedick: What, my dear Lady Disdain! are you yet living? Beatrice: Is it possible disdain should die while she hath such meet food to feed it as Signior Benedick? Courtesy itself must convert to disdain, if you come in her presence. Benedick: Then is courtesy a turncoat. But it is certain I am loved of all...

My friend Mark’s Facebook status:
On 9/11/01, nearly 3,000 innocent Americans lost their lives. Since that day, more than 132,000 innocent civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan have lost their lives. Let’s remember those victims today, as well.
