This Weekend I:
- Went here for cocktails and tasty Dim Sum
- Saw this and was confused
- Ate here and had delicious food (Guinea fowl on asalsify and shallots and crabcakes in a saffron hollandaise) but had really crap service.
- Made all my clothes fit in my drawers.
- Braved the big Sainsbury's on a Saturday morning.
- Hopped a fence in Hyde Park to see this before it got taken down.
- Did not bother with the Matthew Barney exhibit. I don't care if Bjork loves him, I don't care for the artwork of Matthew Barney and if this makes me a luddite then I am happy to be a luddite (see also Carolyn's feelings about Duchamp (more commonly referred to as fucking Duchamp) and Andy Warhol)
- Bought the book that goes along with this exhibit that we saw in Venice this summer
- Ate considerably less fancy dinner at a Thai place in Soho with much better service.
- Went to Tate Modern and saw this and this. Was really impressed by both. Especially Louise Bourgeois, I didn't know a whole lot about her before but am really glad I got to see her art now. Especially the rooms she makes out of doors and her spiders. And I hate spiders!
- Made a tasty cheesy spinach and egg thing and jeremy made coffee cake and we ate a nice breakfast
- took a taxi with Jeremy into town and bought some books and got a ticket to see this.
- Said goodbye to Jeremy before he went to the airport (Hence the taxi, we could expense it! Expensing stuff is awesome!) to fly off to Munich for the week.
- Ate potstickers and drank bubble tea in Chinatown, before coming home to hang out with Oliver and go to bed.
It was a nice weekend and even though it was busy it always seemed leisurely as well. Except when I cut my hand on the fence in Hyde Park. That just hurt.

it was a very london weekend. when we were walking from the tate to London Bridge we even realised how lucky we are right now which sounds really smug but is still a nice feeling.
that said, i am totally homesick for chicago and detroit lately so i am very envious of you close proximity to cheap mexican food affordable nights out and a wide variety of brunch options. christ, i miss good brunch

I want your weekend.
You're surrounded by amazing art. We have brunch options.
Brunch vs. Art....I gotta say - you make a compelling argument. I'd be hardpressed to call a winner in that fight.

You did more that weekend than I did all last week... and you hopped a fence! Way cool.
