The Golden Age

I wished I lived in the golden age
Giving it up on the broadway stage

Hang with the rats and smoke cigars
Just have a break with Frank and count the stars

***

First post in the land of all things British - London. Jetl-lagged, tired, moving into a room, hauling luggage up and down, running to the supermarket, getting used to a new currency, general ADJUSTMENT OF SELF to suit life here ....  I won't bore you with words, here are some pictures  taken during my first week.


London Eye, Street with magical lights, flag, funky car, KEEP CALM, portobello market with gorgeous antiques

***

Exhausted today, walked for 2 hours non stop up and down the portobello market hunting for cheap goods. Didn't find any, but saw some gorgeous gorgeous faux fur coats that I couldn't afford, and some awesome ancient jewelry... there was also a necklace with a lamb pendant which was interesting. Now I'm back in my room and feeling really sleepy. 

Didn't get to do as much as I wanted to this week, but tomorrow's Sunday, but here in London, it will probably be Rainday instead. What they say in books are true, London rains a lot. Not big rains that last one day then stops forever, but little drizzles that vary in length and size, and comes at the MOST unexpected time. The only thing I bought today was an umbrella at the one pound store but it broke immediately! 

***

Snapped a picture of myself against my new mirror table, and found it rather scary. Eerie, silence of the lamb-esque. Moths don't scare me! 


Also, I've decided to grow out my front bangs and do a side sweep instead! So i'm going to change my hairstyle starting this September... and see how it goes! Took some pictures of hair and it's newfound curliness and bangs. How? I hear you ask - after tying my hair up it becomes kinda curly when I let it down!


wavy hair !!

***

I'm on my way, gonna make it big
Gonna make these songs for the chicks to dig
It's really hot and a little bit sour
We're getting your strength to the maximum power

Song of the week in UK : 
The Golden Age - The Asteroids Galaxy Tour

  4. I love London! :] How long will you be there? :D

    And I also do same thing with you XD I side sweep my fringe (See my latest photo) and I think wavy hair is awesome! I feel like tie my hair so much and it gets wavy, I mess my hair before sleep so it gets wavy in the morning, but everytime I wash my hair it returns straight :P
