I slept in a bit today, huzzah! Then a few of us met up and went to the V&A- Victoria and Albert. They had a lot of cool rooms, I got through almost all of Asia, and then the fashion room (with items ranging from Princess Diana's pearl-covered dress, to garments from the 1700's and 1800's, to a Juicy sweatsuit, to Calvin Klein boxer briefs awkwardly stuffed. There was also an excellent 80's-tastic orange fur sweater). We also went through the wrought-iron hallway (soooo cool, I want one!) and the musical instruments room (which was really nifty, I liked the Roman clock) and then, finally, the jewelry collection. When Caitlin and I were going to head over, we called to Hilary to see if she wanted to come with us; her face completely lit up as she said, "yesssss," and walked almost trance-like away from the case she was at. The man standing behind her had to fight very hard to not laugh too hard. All of the jewelry was very sparkly, though they seem to have stolen a few of my tiaras. Hilary and I were trying to get a picture where it looked like she was wearing one, but security yelled at us so we had to give up. It was sad :-( Though we did continue to take pictures afterwards, we were just stealthy.
Waiting for the tube, we noticed a scarecrow. It was designed to look like tube security. Picture pending.
When we got back, I went on Skype with Mum for a bit, with the webcam. She brought the dogs over, and Lilo couldn't have cared less, but when I called Nemo's name, he cocked his head at the computer and then started trying to free me from inside it. Erin had to come free the computer from his efforts.
UF Kevin, Caitlin and Vanessa all came over and we made Cadbury chocolate chunk brownies. If those sound fantastic, imagine how they actually tasted. Yuuuuum. We then watched Clue, since Caitlin and Velossa had never seen it, and then talked for a while. Overall it was a pretty good day, cheap and chill (just the way I like it).
