woke up late...

barely made it to Buckingham Palace in time for the changing of the guards, but we did! and it turns out that its a 30 minute process, so we could have stopped for breakfast after all. the military shouting wasnt impressive, nor were the crowds. but i loved the drumming and bagpipes. i think i want to see if they have a CD and i bet they do!
12:30 GMT
Pub food isnt so bad. i had a BBQ chicken sandwich. it just had pieces of chicken and some BBQ sauce on bread, but it was the tastiest food ive had yet here in the UK.
13:30 GMT
Hyde Park - a beautiful and gigantic park where people play vollyball, english football, rugby, rollerblade, swim and relax in the grass. i cant help but compare it to Boston Commons and the Public Garden. its like we stole all these ideas from "old england" when we created "new england", only everything in new england is smaller.
16:00 GMT
Play: The Complete Works of Shakespeare, 37 plays in 97 minutes. performed by the Reduced Shakespeare Company. it was hilarious! i loved it and laughed my ars off the entire time. i think they were able to do hamlet backwards in less than 15 seconds. it was impressive.

my actual words to LOM: "we know they have decent food... the menu cant be that different from home... they have a reputation to uphold... its virtually guaranteed to be satisfying." fortunately i didnt bet my life because id have been dead before we got our food. no one should ever have to suffer the torture of eating at the Rainforest Cafe in London. the service was great, and the smoothies were excellent, minus LOMs wilted and beaten strawberry garnish. but the food... if, in fact, that was what they served us... well... ive eaten tastier, healthier and more digestible meals in college dorm cafeterias.
21:00 GMT
major depression is setting in and im not kidding when i tell you that i currently have tears streaming down my face. i give up. ive cracked. i'll tell you anything you want to know, just feed me! i need food. real food. tasty food. fresh food. id settle for fresh but bland food if that would help. anything to get something nourishing and fiberous into my deprived body. please, someone... send food!
