not -5, yet...

Had a relaxing day today, went to the V&A Museum and wandered through the wonders of silver, 20th century and ceramics... saw some of the tiles I’ve been studying in the abstract for two years now. Wow. They have a beautiful collection. Proceeded to the Tate modern, which was packed and hot and somehow sterile and extremely septic at the same time and I was tired, so I opted to meander along the South bank, pick up some goodies, see city hall, a soon-to-be-cut-back Marks and Spencer Food Store and the London bridge and some random bits of London. Tonight: pack, take stock, read proceedings, do whatever I’ve forgotten, and get some sleep for a day tomorrow where there are 20.5 hours between six-thirty AM (wake up to leave for airport) and ten PM (keep awake ‘til then in an effort to shift back into EDT).

This has been quite an experience. If I can come back here to work and live for six months or something, I will. I wonder if anyone will be hiring mathematician-propagandist-techies in a few years when I’m done school... ?

I don't know if they have Percy Pigs outside of Ireland, but next time you're in a Marks and Spencers see if you can find them, maybe in the checkout line? They're these awesome fruit gummies shaped like pink pigs with different-colored transparent ear colors- I'm not describing them very well, but they're elderberry-flavored and DELICIOUS. They also have "Percy Pig and Friends" which has orange-flavored sheep and cola flavored cows. It's soooooo good!
