New Sunglasses

Friday morning I woke up and my eye was swollen closed. Seems some grumpy insect or spider decided to bite my helpless face while asleep. Matt told me it wasn't so bad, but then he looked at me for another second and laughed and laughed.

It was one of the first very beautiful days in London and I decided I couldn't let my Igor eye keep my down. After going to the supermarket and wandering around the neighborhood we headed into the heart of London where I bought a pair of sunglasses. It was really hot and we had a picnic in Kensington Park.




Matt looks better in my new sunglasses than I do

Matt's dad wanted to know what English food was like

Matt works David Grubbs

I assigned Matt to volunteer at The Spitz for a David Grubs show on June 12th. It was his first job in London.



Tuung, folky glitch harmonies from Birmingham.




David Grubbs with his Greek cellist.

Matt said afer the show that he thought that David was a little tame, but still the best singer songwriter of his kind. I had to say that if I were to listen to a singer with a guitar, intimately playing me a song, I would have to go with Will Oldham or Cat Power over David anyday.

Wah and Steven

Matt came and picked me up from work. Everyone was getting off and going home and I took this photo of Wah and Steven. "Please delete!", said Wah. I liked it though and didn't listen to her.

Things that happened on my birthday

1. I took a two hour essay exam in NGO and Organisational Management

Now that school is ending, everyone is going their seperate ways.
