First things first - finished my thesis research proposal, sent it in and already received feedback from my professor, who thought it was fine. I just need to tweak my research questions a bit. Am sticking with "Hurray for Hollywood? An Inquiry into the Impact of American film stars on the West End" Will be doing a case study of five actors (Kathleen Turner, Christian Slater, Woody Harrelson, Val Kilmer and Jessica Lange) who have trod the boards here across the pond.
Now taking a bit of a breather and pulling together more Paris pics. Round deux is now posted on Snapfish. The one above is the whole gang helping ring in my 40th at the fabulous Alcazar, which I've just learned on Google is a Sir Terence Conran restaurant, which at one point had been tennis courts and a transvestite bar. Who knew??
Speaking of restaurants, the next time anyone comes to visit, we are making tracks for Shanghai. It's the BEST chinese restaurant ever and walkable from Alliance House. Set in a former East End pie and mash shop going back to Victorian era, the food is super-fresh, super-tasty and super-affordable. Three words: Dim-Sum Happy Hour
Tonight's fare will be Cuban as we celebrate classmate Stuart's birthday at Cuba Libre. Oh, and next week? Belgium! A tres international spring break indeed!
