since my last post,
things have been very busy, mostly with schoolwork. we went to severs house, which is a museum in the east end that's basically made up to look, smell and sound like your average 18th century house. you walk through all the rooms (talking not allowed), and all of the very detailed furniture and objects are placed such that it is as if whoever lives there has just left the room. there were broken teacups, half-eaten biscuits, unmade beds, candles dripping, a lazy cat, etc. etc.
amazing. i couldn't take pictures, but here's the website: http://www.dennissevershouse.co.uk/
then we went to dirty dick's, an old pub that has its very own ghost. been working on my project a lot, taking many breaks to go watch QI, my new favorite show. but now that my presentation is done and the end is so near i'm eager to suck what life is left out of london---there are a bunch of museums i have yet to visit, a royal garden i haven't seen, and many other things. today we go see a musical called blood brothers, and next week we spend a day in oxford.
cheers!
