I'll give you the run down.
Friday Night
The night began with a trip to Quinn's, mine and Kara's favorite pub. It is bright yellow on the outside, but very typical on the inside. It is run by Mr. and Mrs. Quinn (as we call them) and they are super nice. While there we ordered food, as usual. When Kara ordered Mrs. Quinn put her hand on her shoulder and said, "how are you dear?" in a nice motherly tone. So awesome. I ordered my usual Shepards Pie (when in Rome...) and it was fantastic. This is the only Shepard's Pie I know, but it is still great. Although the food is wonderful, what elevates this pub is the music. The play lots of cool contemporary stuff as well as a lot of 80s hair bands. How they got this music in the order it is is beyond me because I know the Quinns didn't pick it out. Anyway, it was wonderful. The rest of the evening was just all right as went to this cheesy Mexican-themed club in Picadilly that had a high cover and was pretty boring. But, I was with good people.
Saturday
I woke and went imediately to the grocery, which was successful. After hangin' around for a while I went on a mission. I had found a corduroy jacket at French Connection I loved, but they didn't have my size. I spent 2 hours in 4 of their stores finding it. Still, I found it. I also got the new Daft Punk album, which I love. I wanted to hate this album, but I just couldn't. That deserves its own post though. After returning from a day of shopping I went to Wagamama again with Jamie, a roommate. Waga never dissapoints. The highlight of the evening though was my return to the Notting Hill Arts Club. It is this uber-cool club in Notting Hill that Kara and I saw Birdie at. We went back since we liked their DJs a lot, and they didn't disappoint. The place was pretty packed with scenesters. The only thing that was missing is all of my friends from home. They all would have loved the place and it would have made it so much more fun. But Kara and I managed to gather the strength the dance for an hour. It rocked. Oh, and Yishai's house next year will be called Notting Hill.
Sunday (today)
Today Kara and I got up relatively early and headed to Brighton. It is a city on the ocean and it is beautiful. We spent most of the day lounging in the sun. I got burnt, I won't lie, but it's the price you pay sometimes. We also got ice cream and a good meal. On top of that, I picked up a pair of Campers (shoes) and a new shirt. I good shopping day I do say. I think this will be the end of my shopping til mommy comes, as she will probably buy me stuff.
And now, I am here. The good weekend is nearly over, but I will savor every last moment. Ah, that was an especially good moment. Mmm.
