Phantom of the Opera and Gay Pride Day

JULY 3, 2010


as much as i would love to start out this blog by saying that it was gay pride day and i saw some crazy things, unfortunately it was a pretty average day...


1. woke up went to class 


2. went to the store

Side story: the only evidence i found that it was gay pride day 

was that as i was walking down the street i saw a man dressed up in a big

puffy rococo style dress, high heels, white powder wig, and a lot of make up

i know isn't that an exciting story

Unfortunately i was not quick enough to ask him to get a picture taken 

so sadly i have no photos to validate this event 

3. did a bunch of homework all day 


4. ate dinner and then suddenly i decided that i was going to go to a play


here is the part where i found something A LONDON LOVE 

Here in london we have this little thing called broadway plays

there is also this little thing called discount tickets 

both of these things are great 

there cherry on top is the fact that i have a student card 

which means that i can get an additional discount 

but here is the part that really matters 

the part that really matters i show up 30 minutes before the play starts and i get a ticket!!

Here is what i didn't understand when i bought that SUPER CHEAP ticket 

the part that i didn't understand when the seat says restricted it generally means you can't see the stage... so i knew it was restricted but i didn't know that it meant this restricted

RESTRICTED VIEW

luckily i am a lucky girl...most of the time and the people sitting in the two seats next to me 

didn't feel like showing up so i just took their seat and saw the whole stage!!

so pretty much since i got lost in conveying this dumb story i forgot to really tell what show i even saw... i saw phantom of the opera 

it was fantastic and well worth the money that i did pay i just loved listening to the music and singing along ... in my mind of course

      after the show... 

we didn't really feel like going back home just yet so we decided to go and walk along

the thames river here is the part of the day when i really 

realized that it was gay pride day because on the way toward the river 

we passed several gay clubs AND the buildings were lit up in an array 

of bight rainbow colors i am not going to lie it was pretty cool

the pictures are not that great but here are some of them 

now for the BEST part of the whole day

although this may look disgusting it was absolutely the best waffle i have

EVER had it had dark chocolate raspberries and coconut

I think that i died and went to heaven for the whole 

30 seconds that it took me to eat it!! 

i will be returning here to buy another waffle 

the last adventure of the night the last adventure goes like this... bus hopping trying to catch the right bus in order to get home and although we did not make the "curfew" we made it home alive!  all i have to say about this is that there is for sure a different schedule for night and day buses so make sure that you know the difference... so basically you should probably figure out where your bus is going BEFORE you get on it
