groceries and

Yeah, so surprise. In between all the super cliche study abroad things I'm doing, I have to do the really everyday things, too. Grocery shopping is the bane of my existence. Being here has added another dimension to my hate/love relationship with food. I love eating. Love. Nothing is as comforting when you're miserable as eating your weight in carb-heavy mac 'n' cheese, lasagne, spaghetti, basically anything at Sage Bistro in Culver City, a heaping of ice cream, chips (the British kind topped with garlic mayo), whatever. I will find it, stuff it down my face hole, and sleep like it's no one's business. Lately, I've been only really hating food because buying it gets in the way of the other desires I have such as clothing and traveling. It's come down to "Do you want to eat something other than zucchinis (courgettes, for those in the UK) and instant noodles (the Shin Ramyun kind is the best ever) or do you want to go to Ireland for the weekend?" I've been eating zucchini/courgettes and instant noodles for the last week, but I treated myself with an aubergine and rice. The receipt for my groceries was £8 last week. Don't do the conversions, but that's actually pretty cheap. If I could only stop buying drinks, I would have so much more money.


I should post a video about the cat cafe and general London shenanigans pretty soon. Then another one about Lacock Abbey where they shot a bunch of Harry Potter scenes. Just been feeling kind of unproductive/ inadequate lately. Music suggestions anyone?
