Squatting

Last night i aided in the aquiring of a squat. allow me to explain. In London, squatting isn't illegal. in fact if you aquire an empty house and the owner tries to remove you, you have the right to call the police who will come and protect you. The place is huge, was an old college- has about 5 floors with the most beautiful rooms. no regrets except for tearing my pants...but they're just pants. However, I do not condone breaking into houses. time well spent though! After inspecting the buildings interior, we climbed the stairs to the roof to watch the sky fill with light.

it looks like some sort of wild animal!

the definition of insomnia: –noun
inability to obtain sufficient sleep, esp. when chronic; difficulty in falling or staying asleep; sleeplessness.

generally people with insomnia look like this:




kids with insomnia are cool in my opinion, cause they take the whole "sleep when your dead thing" to new heights! but they also suffer from incoherent sentence forming and eyes that burn like an indian man who has just made his special curry powder mixture with his hands and forgot to wash or wipe his hands...and then went to the toilet for a numero uno!

finally!

went to a shop, can't remember the name. they had a sale. these were lying around...



i wanted to slap the people there and pull out pictures of homeless people.

but then I saw this in blue...



and inspiration struck. so i called home for a bit of help to find a sewing machine.

oh the amusement!

had quite a funny day. went to go and see the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace (yes, that was a name drop) and the whole thing was done to the orchestra playing an Abba Medley. hahaha...cause that will scare away the terrorists!

Then took a bit of a nap on a bench in Hyde Park (oh look, another name drop) and overheard a girl saying to someone, "these aren't the pigeons that I scare, I scare away the ones that look as though they are about to attack you". To which I immediately replied "please, you must take me to these ferocious human attacking ruthless pigeons immediately". No I didn't! I just closed my eyes again and imagined giant pigeons running around and attacking all the people. Watch out!

Then ate some muesli and yoghurt and was asked by a woman where I got the ice cream from, to which I replied "It's not ice cream, its muesli and yoghurt". the person was immediately eaten by a giant pigeon for her stupidity.

walk like an egyptian.

ok I'm pretty crazy about Egypt so a visit to the Egypt section at the British National Museum was pretty damn awesome for me.






the rest of the museum was pretty cool though too, like the entrance, wow.

a rose by any other name.

i know of a boy who before getting off a train one day passed a girl he'd never met and gave her a little piece of paper that read, "I think that you're beautiful".

He is currently dating a stripper.

"broken and lost"

you have to have the volume up.

Banksy!

found a bit of Banksy in Notting Hill today. photo a bit crap 'cause took it on my phone.

rosey moon.

a friend has decided to do a series of little clips of my time in london. here's the first one entitled "Tammy in the garden." I have NEVER smelt such sweet smelling roses before.

give a chinaman a camera and he's a photographer.

getting lank bleak that I haven't taken any woah pics here yet. gotten into bit of a self loathing attitude about my "skills" on a whole really. bleh.



this is about as exciting as they've been. pretty dismal. taken at the tate modern.seen so many renditions of this photo it's a joke. here are a few pics of the same entrance that other people have taken. lank original.

wipe on, wipe off!

There's quite a bit of "chalk art" that goes on around here.



but the municipality doesn't have the same appreciation.



It was wiped clean before anyone else could take any more photos.

let them eat cake!

today was entertaining. Went to Camden, got directed around a hospital by two big black jamaican nurses " Follow me! Keep up!" got a free boat ride all along the Thames to Greenwich...rad and then did the robot in a beautiful park that possibly inspired Jane Austin to write Pride and Prejudice. But its the cake that I ate on the tube that was just lovely.





the best chocolate brownie and lemon drizzle cake purchased in Camden




The above mentioned cakes were then consumed on the underground by us.




Nothing left to do but a glee induced robot in Greenwhich park!

first thursday!

Went to this event, if you will, called First Thursday where all the artsy people remove themselves from their creative nooks, put on their narly shoes and meet in a district populated with galleries. Every first thursday of every month a bunch of galleries give up and coming aspiring artists the chance to showcase their works. was very cool. got some nice pics.

evolve.

The people of london do not believe in "clothing relationships". You know, where you form a bond or deeper connection with your clothes. this doesn't exist here and everyone is completely consumed to the core by fashion because it has such a quick turn around time here. most of the clothes are probably disposable. some people try too hard and some get it just right. it's amusing. i enjoy it.
