Day 5

What day is it? I have lost a day already. Perhaps I am still so freaking tired that I do not realize what day it is anymore. I live in a dorm now; there are three showerstalls down the hall, along with three toilets. My room has a nice view of the building next door. At least it is one of the cooler rooms since I can open my window outwardly. I also bought a fan at Robert Dyas which never gets turned off.

Yes, today is Saturday. Amy Goodman, Dylan Tucker, Ashley Gonzales, Lacy Offutt, Jordan Sparks, and I went to London's Film and Comic Con today. It was in Earl's Court; we rode the Tube (surprise..). Actually, I am getting used to the Tube, other than when I lay down in my little twin bed at night. Then, I feel as if I am still riding on The Tube and the bed is moving foward; that wouldn't be so good to fly out of my window: I am in a third floor building with a basement as well, but I digress. Comic Con was so awesome. Ashley and I got in line for tickets for Corey Feldman, Harry Potter, as well as Brent Spiner (Star Trek: The Next Generation, which is my favorite.)  Harry Potter was sold out. We walked though the booths. Everything from Star Trek, Disney, Harry Potter, Zelda Nintendo, Spiderman, Star Wars, etc. was there. If you have a favorite, it was probably there. There were many stars signing autographs as well, however they were 20 pounds each, so, I did not buy any. Ashley and I did buy a Darth Vader necklace; I am an official member of the nerd club now, and very proud of it. Brent Spiner was so hilarious at his talk, and Corey Feldman was really good as well. It was his 40th birthday that day. He was awesome as well at his talk; I just wish the music next to it had not been so loud. I did take a lot of photographs, however. I must say that it is just so cool to meet stars. This was a spectacular day; I am so glad that I booked tickets for this.

Tonight, Ashley, Jordan, and I went walking to find a place to eat. I found (I say "I" because I am the one who is a particular eater...) Spaghetti House. We had such a relaxing evening. So far this week we have been running through the city; I have been so hot and tired that it is almost difficult to enjoy it. Therefore, tonight was a break from the hustle and bustle of the trip. I had the spaghetti bolognese, which is authentic Italian spaghetti. I have been dehyrdated, so I drank three glasses of coke, as well as a latte. I do not even like Coke, but here I am drinking it in London. Remember, I told you there is not a lot of other soft drinks, and I really, really need the caffeine, trust me. We shared dessert, which was teramasu, along with a few other things. My dinner was 18.75 pounds, around 30 US dollars. I did not even care; it was that good.

We came back to the dorm at about 11:30; people here linger in restaurants like it is a family dinner at home. We probably stayed at the restaurant for three hours before we walked back home. (Home? Yes, home until July 30).
