My life has sort of imploded since my last posting. I thought I had things sorted out, working part-time at a restaurant, getting by fine. Well, I went in this week to see what my hours were going to be and was underjoyed to discover that I was not scheduled to work at all! My financial situation does not leave much room for this kind of occurence, so I am now broke. Get another job, right? Mmm, not so easy when you are planning on leaving the country in two and half weeks.

So: I am flying home early than expected. Today I changed my flight to the nineteenth of July, a week from today. All of a sudden my love affair with London is coming to an end. This time next week (adjusting for time warps) I will be back in the California sunshine, with my family and friends! As much as I will miss this place, I won’t miss this grey July weather, and the ridiculous cost of living.

So it looks like…

I’m going (going) back (back) to Cali. Just like Biggy used to do! …but not really.

Funny thing happened yesterday: I’m sitting in Neal’s Yard eating lunch with my friend Kacy (that’s not the funny part). I start feeling a little mopey, staring out into the square in melancholy contemplation (oh angst!). I’m sort of trancing out, staring at this man standing in the square, totally in my own head, unhappy.

Then, I begin to snap out of it, thinking to myself, “Don’t be stupid, look where you are, this is London, you brought yourself here, and you are doing this.” This brings me out of my trance. Slowly, I start to recognise the man I have been staring at. And guess who it is:

Woody Harrelson.

That’s right, while I was sitting there, making myself miserable, I almost missed out on a genuine celebrity sighting! I’ve decided this was the super shiva enya god life force telling me to just shut up and let life live.

Cheers! …sometimes you wanna go…
