Fashion brings out whatever emotion you are feeling inside. Whatever you are feeling, have fun with it and remember not to take yourself so serious. Don't let someone predict who you are!

I've definitely seen some really intriguing shows as of late: -Damien Rice tells 10yr long stories with no point, but they're hilarious. He also plays for like 2hours straight is on time and fairly nice. And he typically likes to invite a girl from the audience up to reenact the song "Cheers Darlin'" about a girl he spent the night getting trashed with & then she admitted she had a bf, so he actually GETS DRUNK DURING THE SHOW! He had like 4 glasses of red wine in 10mn, and then he wanted to see if the girl he invited up would sing another song with him but she couldn't sing so some random guy shouts "I'll sing with you damien!" and he turns out to be this guy who looks like an accountant, but he had an awesome voice haha! -I also saw the Swell Season (aka Glen Hansard of the Frames & his gf Marketa Irglova, they won the best song at the oscars this yr, they're in the film "once") They were amazing! really down to earth, really charismatic, told great funny stories, and sounded amazing live -Franz Ferdinand prances around stage its really hilarious, they're so cocky - I also loved Rogue Wave, its so cool to see how their songs are actually made, b/c when you can see it live you see just who is singing back up (oddly enough sometimes its the drummer) and how they create the awesome opening to "lake michigan" (they have like 3band members on the drums at one time, including the drummer) and the one guitarist jumps around constantly haha sorry that was so long, but i've had some great experiences! you must go to topshop (the one on oxford circus, its 3 floors!) just for the experience! and hey, you may find something worth splurging on :)

How do you think that Nigeria puts out all those email scams? Not through dial up, I tell you. But if you're going to a very small village in Africa, then high speed internet might not be available. I'm going to miss all you're posts about NY life, but then again, you're going to be posting about other interesting things about Africa. It will just be interesting in a different way.
