the good things about london

- when I got to Ireland I thought it was great that I no longer cared about my appearance. London made me realize I should care just not obsess. And now I have a healthy balance.

- when I got to Ireland I tried not to take myself too seriously as an artist, but I started not taking myself seriously enough. London made me more confident, just not uptight. Again, healthy balance.

- dancing elvises, cats that let you pet them, pandas in the subway, pigeons where there seemingly should be none. I think pigeons were created for the amusement of mankind, perhaps. I love pigeons. Just not when they fly into your face as happened to one of my classmates in Paris, but none of that nonsense this time, so that's good.

- good food if you know where to look

- making friends - Neil, Lawrence, Matt/Muhammad, Marchin (sort of)

- giving oneself a sense of perspective

- was uncharacteristically sunny the entire time

- haircuts

- good art

the dancing elvis video is pretty hilarious! i've said this a thousand times already but i'm so incredibly proud of you and i'm happy that you are truly finding yourself as an artist and as a person. i love you and don't forget, i'll be the one with the big wheel of cheese running towards you.

actually, we didn't have fish and chips in london, they were very good in galway though on the way back. we ate all lebanese, thai, etc while there

balance is a good thing, a very good thing as is perspective and of course good hair. An artist must have good hair.

i think it's interesting actually when you look at all the hairstyles here. but yes, i agree.
