Stressful

Going back home to London, was actually quite hectic for holiday standards. Well, mine anyway. My idea of a holiday was pretty much what I achieved today - woke up at 10, decided it was too early and woke up again at 12. lazed about listening to music and finally got to lunch with Bugs Bunny at 2.

It was perfect, the sun softly caressing my skin, the wind gently blowing through my hair and a soft light making my white wine look like a golden beacon of happiness and hope. The food was lovely and we watched peacefully as the cars passed by, wondering how time was passing by so quickly.

This fantastic meal followed by an evening walk and nap before a lovely Moroccan dinner and drinks. Perfect.

Anyway, before I digress, back to London. The meals were just amazing. But it did feel like barely enough time to do all I wanted. Though am quite happy that i got a few days in London and time to meet most people, and now a couple weeks in America which really feels like a whole new holiday.

The highlight was spending time with Prash and Bow Wow, and of course my big Wednesday meal at the Waterside Inn (review to follow soon). Managed to watch a film - The Lives of Others, which I had read about and really wanted to watch. Fantastic film too, which helped.

Did manage to catch the Liverpool vs Chelsea second leg match at the Sports Cafe which is always a good place to catch big games. Can't say I was impressed with either sides creativity/finishing but it was a good result, so lets look forward to a Liverpool vs Milan rematch for the Final!

Anyway since London I flew to New York and then onward to MSU in East Lancing (Michigan) for a weekend of drunkenness and graduation talk (these kids!). Flew from there to Washington yesterday and am loving my time here with Shanu.

I concluded my perfect holiday day with a DVD - Before Sunrise. A simple plot and good yet sometimes bad dialogue, this film is romantic and meant for romantic fools. In my opinion its a very well made film and must admit though that perhaps someone cynical or just having a bad day won't like this film. I really like it, and can't wait to see the sequel Before Sunset.

Anyway I should go sleep more, can't deal with all this stress of staying awake for 10 hours in a row.
