"what did i sign up for?"
i wonder what sort of training these men must go through in order to endure such annoying tourists. (all antics aside, the sheer number of them!...)
(can you "!", then follow it up with "..." ?)
thanks for the tip
but without fail, i'd look right every time. seriously. ridiculous.
(sidenote: i consider this corner part of "home base." it was, to me, the nearest landmark letting my know home was only a minute's walk away.)

back in the states
it's been a good month since i've been back in texas and every now and then i really miss london. it especially hits me when the weather's cool or there's a nice breeze. it's amazing how much weather, smell and sound can really take you back to a place.
there were a few things i didn't post about during my time in london, so expect a few more posts before i close the chapter on "london summer 08."
cheers, my dears.

Hreshdagayeen- Angelic
Here's a clip of "Hreshdagayeen" (Angelic) sung by the St. Yeghiche Choir in the Gomidasian style. I really loved their version and looked forward to it every week. Hope you enjoy it, too.

one double deck to the chin and you're gone
you can FEEL the tension between these two bus companies.
i once asked some someone how much tours cost, and immediately had staffers from each company attack me (and each other) with pamphlets

you know that drew carey episode where kate feeds drew french fries from a variety of different fast food chains and he knows exactly which one comes from where?
i can do that with chocolate now.

On days other than Easter and Christmas
this is st. george's tavern, my neighborhood pub.
wouldn't it be cool if our church, st. kevork (st. george in english), was just as packed?

too much national geographic
molton brown sells luxury beauty and bath products, but it just makes me think of a shedding prime minister.
that cannot be good for business.

just a reminder:
nobody puts Baby in a corner.
dirty dancing is showing at the aldwych theatre and has the most ridiculous adverts ever.

i've grown accustomed to her face
consider me an expert at getting lost.
i've been all over this town, up and down all sorts of streets, but the one constant in my life these past three weeks has been The Aldwych, that funny D-shaped street with the cross-walk-of-death I've gotten so used to...and will oddly miss.

all or nothing
it's universally understood that the brits have bad teeth. not too attractive, you know? but i recently discovered the key to making it work: no teeth.
look, either you have all your teeth and keep them in good condition, or you get rid of them...all. then, you'll look like the cute, old man i saw the other day (who inspired this post) :)

you and your silly little moustache
i place complete blame on you, hotel #5, for getting mambo #5 stuck in my head all day.
whatever happened to
protest, the way it used to be?
i met up with an old friend of my father yesterday. he moved to london at seventeen for studies, and told me stories about the time he and thousands of other university students took over the streets and universities of london to protest the vietnam war.
take a look at lse back in the day, a hot spot for all sorts of protests and social movements.
i know there are lots of ways to make a statement or create change, but God knows the crimes happening now are just as horrendous as the crimes that happened decades ago- and demand just as much passion and outrage as they did in the '60s and '70s.
so, what happened?
