It's A Small World After All!

I recently found out about this cool site - Flickrvision.com. It’s connected to the photo-sharing site Flickr. Flickrvision shows you in real time photos that people are posting from all over the world, including the city/town from where the person is posting. I logged on and the first three photos were from 1) Leesburg, VA (woo hoo, my old neck of the woods!), 2) Kapellen, Belgium (a town near where I visit my friends the Winslows) and 3) Freiburg, Germany (the town where from where my classmate Christian hails). Wacky!

Speaking of all around the world, my beloved address book (Italian leather, gift from mom) containing the ‘411’ of all you far-flung friends and family has gone completely AWOL! A thorough search of my flat has come up empty! Soo annoying! Not only did it hold addresses, but also birthdays. Could folks please email me their info? Am going go get new one or at least in the meantime, start keeping them electronically. Thanks!

Culture update – Saw an AMAZING production of “Kiss of the Spider Woman” at Donmar Warehouse! That theatre can do no wrong. I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve seen there this year. I did not enjoy Andrew L. Weber sending home the ‘wrong’ Joseph yet again on “Any Dream Will Do.” Yes folks, my tastes range from the sublime to the ridiculous here in the UK. More cultural news, the Culture Vultures (the team formerly known as “The Alliance”) were back to their winning pub quiz ways last week! Woo hoo, that 10 pounds I won will come in handy (for about a carton of milk and cereal..lol).

In other news, I continue to plug along on thesis and coursework, but have to admit my mojo is fading (despite finding references to “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” in not one, but two academic journal articles for research)! Must be the ‘final semester blues,’ compounded by the fact that I am also starting the job/housing search. I’ve decided to try and stay here ‘across the pond’ if I can. Any and all recommendations/suggestions welcome. Can’t believe on Friday it will be June! A big happy birthday that day to my Mom and also Greg J.
