So, wowza, time sure has been flying bye yet again and it has already almost been another week that I haven't blog. I swear, there just never seems to be enough time to blog and do everything anymore. It is kinda crazy to think about it that way. But onto the juicy weekly adventures...
So, on Thursday we headed out because the weather was somewhat decent and kinda just strolled around the area. The first place we went to was the Victoria and Albert Museum, which realistically is a fantastic museum, but it just seems like there is just sooo much history that it is just getting lost on me, ya know? Like after Italy, there are only so many ways you can depict the Virgin and Jesus, like there are only so many ways that you can look at tapestries and other old ancient things. They are amazing, like I still want to see the Rosetta Stone at the British Museum, but I feel like these things are just getting lost on me right now. After a couple hours at the museum, Cat, Jess, Mika, and I headed out. After meandering around the streets for a bit, we wound up in Hyde Park and had fun running around with the geese and swans, or maybe, just mainly me, while Jess and Cat snapped photos of my American-ness. Haha.

Now with it being close to lunch time, we went to a small cafe around the lake and warmed up, while laughing over the ridiculous photos taken in the park.
After that, Jess and I got ready to head out to the premiere of Valentine's Day starring more or less everyone in Hollywood. We got there around 5pm and wound up seeing a sea of people surrounding the ODEON theatre where the premiere was to be held. As we had come all the way into Leicester Square to see it, we braved the crowd out and managed to get somewhat close to the barricades in the front. After a couple of minutes, the celebrities starting showing up (namely Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, Jessica Alba, Topher Grace, Emma Roberts). We wound up getting some really cool photos and in the end decided it was too cold to continue standing outside, thus leaving back to Colindale.
Jessica Alba!
Demi Moore!
On Saturday, we decided to hit up a "new to us club" called KOKO in Camden. At first, we thought this was going to be another Fabric fiasco, since we had to get "invited" to the party and then print the invitations to just get possibly in. So, I was kinda wary about that aspect, but once inside, this club was actually pretty amazing. It was an old theatre that has been converted into a club and painted red. It was phenomenal and I wish the photos I had justified the sheer awesomeness and the coolness of it. The "Buttoned Down Disco" was a ton of fun and ultimately left around 2:30 to take the N5 bus home, but notwithout stopping at the nearby Kebab shop for some chips. Brilliant!!
Today, we went to the Fulham Fc vs. County football match, which was fan-freakin'-tastic. It is such an intrinsic part of English culture that you truly cannot miss when you come to England. The game, although was bitter cold, was truly exciting and never once was there really a slow part - either between the team crushing county or the fanatic Fulham Fc fans. I truly had an awesome time sitting outside for 3 hours in 15degree weather. (I never will get used to Celsius, therefore I will probably just always use Fahrenheit, how American of me ;) ) Fulham ultimately wound up winning the game and also won the FA cup. Whatever that means, but to me, it was an amazing afternoon.
