Wow. Okay so someone does read this, so I might actually make a better attempt to write more. 
Some days the city sucks all of the energy out of you because it is so crowded and it just takes so long to commute to anywhere(and it's SO dirty and crowded in the tubes). There's the drizzley rain that never stops. It's dark all the time (why does it get so dark so early here?it actually makes me sleepy and confused). There are no trees, no mountains, no lakes and that makes me sad...There is little to no respect for the earth...Our families and friends are thousands of miles away. But, I feel like I am making a little progress!! I actually got a recycling bin today!! HOOOOORAY! I mean, I've been fighting for one forever and for some reason our neighbourhood doesn't do the whole recycling thing. But now we do! (Please don't tell me that London sells the recycling to China to be burned...let me live in my delusion for a little while longer!)
In other news, I'm starting my ethnography today! I'm really excited actually. I can't wait to get back to interviewing real people instead of constantly doing theoretical stuff. Practise is way better than theory, I guess I'm more of a do-er. Hee hee hee. Anyway, it's hard starting the whole ethnography thing because I don't know anyone here! At least in Oregon I worked for a queer organisation where I knew tons of willing people. I feel totally freaking awkward randomly interviewing people. Oh well, this to shall pass I suppose.
Ugh...it's that time again. I need a haircut and I'm really nervous about where to go. I can't bear to get another stupid pixie cut (you can read my previous blogs about that horrible experience). Blech...took 2 months to grow out. There are some great salons around, but who can afford them? Agh. Well, I need to get back to work! I feel better now that I know I'm not writing these things to myself. Hee hee hee.

good luck w/ interviewing strangers and w/ the haircut.

I'd recommend places to get your hair done if I wasn't as scared about it as you. I have found a place down near me which didn't butcher my hair but it's nothing special.
