Two fairly opposite evenings added up to one of the best London weekends I've had so far.
Friday night I spent the evening at my friend Neil's. He's launching a new web site (to tout his work as an author of celeb biographies) so I was helping him with work on the set-up and design. His flat is on the South bank, near Tower Bridge, and out of all his windows we had gorgeous views of the river and Canary Wharf, so gorgeous all lit up at night. After working on the site, we had a tasty dinner and watched "Ugly Betty," such a cute show! Then I crashed in the guest room gazing out at the lights of London.
Saturday night was spent partying with about 10 classmates at our friend Nineta's flat, during which we all went up on the roof to watch the lunar eclipse (it helps that she is an R.A. in the building). Wow, talk about incredible views. It turned blood red and dark right in front of us. Festivities continued until 4 in the morning! The highlight of which was when I was deep in conversation with a Bosnian guy and a Greek guy debating comic book superheroes and their translations into film. Had Artemis not twisted my arm into doing some vodka shots, I might be able to remember a bit more. The one thing I do recall is that we were all in agreement that the 2nd X-Men film was the best of that series.
