Of Computers and London

So, I've been having computer issues lately that may result in a new laptop (hopefully not though). I've done a little bit of looking at new ones, and they have about four times the power of mine for about a third of the cost. Maybe a new one wouldn't be so bad... However, I'm not sure I have the budget for it because I just bought tickets to London!!!

I'm going to see Katie over New Year's! I'll be there for two and a half weeks, and I'm dead excited. Already we have plans to go to Scotland and Mount St-Michael (in France, where I can utilize my nearly useless French skills from this summer--provided no one tries to speak with me and writes doewn whatever he/she is trying to communicate!). I hope we can eat curry in Brick Lane, go to the British Museum (can you believe I didn't go when I was in London before?), and ride the Eye--strange touristy phenomenon that it is.

So, until I get to go do all that I'll have to content myself with being an anglophile in the USA, reading British authors like AS Byatt (I'm in the middle of Angels and Insects), watching BBC America (Life on Mars and The Kumars at No. 42 are fantastic), and planning my travels.
