The lack of internet in our house is a big issue right now. I can't blame our landlord, because the phone company came by yesterday to set up our line and couldn't because no one has the key to some random room in the housing complex. Very frustrating. Without internet, I can't look for a job, and not having it at home means I will be lugging my laptop across town to the BUNAC offices every day for the foreseeable future.
I applied for a few more jobs on Monday, and as it turns out, on Tuesday a woman e-mailed me saying to call her to set up an interview. I just got the e-mail (Thursday). Rarr. I left her a voicemail... I hope they're still setting up interviews!
In happier news, I had an awesome day yesterday. First, Jen and I got half-price tickets to Les Miserables at the "tkts" booth in Leicester Square. That booth is awesome. You can get super cheap tickets to almost all the major shows in London if you go there early on the day of the show. So we saw the play, which was really good. Then I got to see Picadilly Circus, the front of Buckingham Palace, and Trafalgar Square. Then Jen and I went to the "Texas Embassy" which is a Tex-Mex restaurant in London that a friend recommended to us. The food was alright, but the best parts were dessert and the free soda refills. We totally stuffed ourselves. Then we hobbled over to Oxford Circus, where a guy who's staying in our house for a few days (named JJ) had invited us to karaoke night at a pub. Jen and I were very reluctant to sing, but JJ wouldn't let us leave without doing it. I sang "I Want It That Way" by the Backstreet Boys, mostly because I already know all the words, and it's perfect for those of us with a limited vocal range. It was really fun. At the end of the night Jen, JJ and I sang (mostly yelled) "Shape of My Heart" by, again, the Backstreet Boys. People must have thought I was a huge BSB fan.
JJ is a total character. He is one of the loudest, happiest, most enthusiastic people you will ever meet. He walks into the house and immediately starts jabbering away at us with a huge smile on his face and inviting us out for karaoke the next night. After talking to him for a few minutes, I noticed the T-shirt he was wearing. It had two men's room icons side by side, with a single word underneath each one. The one on the left said "You" and had the icon with a small penis, and the other said "Me" and had the icon with a huge penis. I would normally see that shirt on someone and assume they're a total asshole, but JJ is one of the nicest and most outgoing guys I've ever met. He is SUCH a character. Totally hilarious. He's only staying in the house for three days, but I think we'll probably hang out with him again if he stays in London.
