OK so here is the news:
I am definitely going to Dublin with Jessie and Denver next weekend. We had to book a kind of crappy hostel because it was a little last-minute, but it's in a good location, both according to our Irish source (Denver's flatmate Claire), and the fact that it's very near the Guiness factory, or something alcohol-related like that.
We have made some progress in befriending our new roommate, and managed to coerce her into getting a pint with us last night. She is really shy, I think, but nice.
I wandered around in the British Museum for a couple hours yesterday. I don't know if I'm just really stupid or something, but I found it kind of boring. I was just like hmmm Rosetta Stone, cool. *yawn* I mean I can understand why it's a big deal, but does that mean I'm supposed to feel excited about it? I was way more impressed by the ginormous glass ceiling in the middle of the building. I guess this is why I am not an archeologist. More and more these days I am losing interest in things that are old.
I saw a really really good movie, Two Days in Paris. See it. I know you will like it.
I discovered a new and addicting candy called Fizzy Fish at Sainsbury's. This is very bad!
London has turned green from moss, and it's really pretty.
So far, after only one week, I find my classes very thought-provoking. And that was without even having done the reading!
I really really like being young.

Now for my news:
I saw "27 Dresses" today, and it actually wasn't too bad.
My dental surgery has caused my entire face to now be various shades of purple, including a real shiner on my left eye. I think I look like a victim of spousal abuse, but your father thinks I look like I just came out of the coal mine. (I think he is planning for that to be his alibi.) I am documenting my bruise progression on photo booth, in case I need evidence.
I really, really, REALLY hate being old. (JK - it's not that bad.)
Mrs. Ripley needs a blog.
i think the name of your blog is very misleading. itshould be called "i'm in london, and i'm going other places."
p.s. you are a philistine.
Thank you, Anonymous, but no one wants to hear about my boring life.
Sigh...
Oh yeah, and by Anonymous I mean Jason.
Oh you're too good Mrs. Ripley. I am just too lazy to log in. I would read your blog though. You can talk about all the shady businesses in the I.E. I can be your field reporter.
p.s.- Does the Double P need a H.R. department?
The double P doesn't need an HR dept yet - but maybe in the future since we now have an AWESOME website (thanks to Matt).
Look us up: FoothillAdvertiser.com
(Sorry Mandy, to use your blog for some family business self-promotion, but I don't have my own blog.)
i like how your mom just had a conversation with someone else on your blog.
i thought the british museum was the most amazing thing when i went. i was actually not that impressed by the parthenon stuff, surprisingly. however, i did have a large appreciation for the egyptian collection and the roman collection. did you at least think the akkadian/babylonian things were cool?
Mrs. Ripley the Double P is TIGHT! The Double P is definitely doing big things in '08. I like Fatburger coupons. Can you guys do some Juice It Up or Jamba Juice coupons? Or In-n-Out? Also I really like the Business Spotlight section. I can go interview Star Donuts and ask them about their ties to the Cambodian Mafia for the next Spotlight. Let me know. I'll work for free.
