Various London stories

Sometimes there are very funny sights to behold on the streets of London. In Picadilly Circus the other night, I encountered "Crazy Nick and his magic traffic cone." This man was sitting outside a building singing into an orange traffic cone waiting for people to throw coins into a cup. I think I need a sign like his: "Crazy Whit and her magic cardboard tube."

A couple of friends of mine ran into Jude Law in a Snappy Shots 1 hour photo lab. They asked if he'd be willing to take a picture with him, and he very rudely declined, saying that people like them make him feel like Mickey Mouse. Geez, no respect for the fans.

Maike has decided that her butt is "poignant." I'm not quite sure how that works, but apparently one pair of jeans seems to accent the poignancy. :)

We finally had a chance to ride on the London Eye. The houses of Parliament and Big Ben are magnificent at night. The rest of the view is great, as well. This time there were no protesters, only a little girl in our capsule who pressed the emergency button.

I had a chance to see Kevin Spacey's production of Cloaca at the Old Vic Theatre. I thought it was a very good show, although it has been severly criticized by most. Everyone I saw it with liked it very well, and one of the actors in the show was in Notting Hill, which I love.

I will be out of the country for over a week starting tomorrow, so I thought I had better post before then. If I have a chance, I will try to give you all a mid-week update.
