Reading Week + Comedy/Italian Night

So, this reading week has gone by insanely fast and I feel right now that I still have a ton to do before papers start becoming due in 4 weeks. Scary, huh? But, I did manage in accomplishing to finish my critical review book for Global Politics, which was very interesting. I wish I had more time to just read it very leisurely, but right now I am on a time crunch. Hah. Gotta spend lots of time outside doing all the very London-y things aswell. :D

But for that class, I have been reading Our Choice by Al Gore, the followup book for An Inconvenient Truth. It was actually a very excellent read and I would definitely recommend it to anyone really. It truly takes on a devil's advocate position, it looks at both sides of the argument instead of taking on a this is bad, you NEED to do this NOW. I'm definitely going to have a not so bad of time writing the review of the book.

On to more exciting recap of the week, we went to a free comedy night and half price italian meal down in SoHo, by Piccadilly Circus, which was fun for being relatively cheap. We went to this italian restaurant named Nove, which had exceptional food, the service was eh and the portion sizes of the food was not nearly enough for me, but I'm nearly always hungry, so I guess that isn't the best way to rate something. I did wind up ordering the lasagna, which was fantastic by the way, but it was literally about 3inches by 3inches by 1inch. So after dinner, we headed over to the show, and on the way we stopped in this Belgium chocolate store and ordered several pieces of chocolate to only be shocked by the 9quid pricetag for only 8 pieces of chocolates. Granted after eating these chocolates they were the best things I have ever tasted in my life, but way too expensive to repeat.

We went to this comedy place nearby called the Source Below for this New York guy called Lewis Schaffer doing an act called "It's free until I'm Famous". He was funny but incredibly Jew racist, I'm really glad I didn't spend a lot of money to see it. But it was a good fun night and the place was kinda cool, very intimate setting, only about 45-50 people allowed downstairs.

Otherwise, right now, its Friday and I'm just sitting here doing work for class and then getting ready to go out for some fun later tonight. :)
