Leicester Square is worthless.

June 22, 2001

The only thing that makes it worthwhile is Virgin, Tower, and HMV but you can find those anywhere. I just say this because last night I went there with a bunch of people from my program and I just think it lacks any fun. It is full of tourists, overpriced and boring. Enough of my ranting. I will now continue explaining my adventures of the last week.

So on Monday I spent the afternoon playing basketball with my roommates. I hadn't played basketball in about a year so I was a touch rusty. I had fun though. The only downside was that I was sore for the next three days. Oh, and another thing. One of the girls on the trip was a bit surprised by my choice to play basketball. Would you say I, as a guy, am highly likely or unlikely to play basketball? I guess I could see how I wouldn't fit in with the basketball playing crowd, but I don't think I seem completely unathletic. Well, after basketball I went to the pub with Mike, Jamie, Julie and Courtney. Good times.

Tuesday was fun. I went to see Daniel Kitson, who is one of the comedians we represent here at Impressive PR. He was so damn funny. He has a stutter and lisp and isn't the most attractive man. A lot of his set was about this fact. It made it especially funny. He also doesn't drink and did a great bit on how people rate their nights based on how f*cked up they were. For instance:

Dude 1: "Dude, last night ruled. I fell of the balcony and broke both my arms!"
Dude 2: "Well I was so plastered I accidentally slept with my sister!"

Funny, but sick. But more funny than sick, if you ask me. The rest of his set was great as well.

Wednesday Kara and I went to see Birdie at the Notting Hill Arts Club. They were McAwesome. I love that band. And the venue was uber cool. More on that later since I gotta go. Bye bye.
