UK-Bound

No, not permanently-- but for a business trip next week. London and Manchester. Strangely enough, have never been to London, despite many hours (and I mean MANY hours) spent in Heathrow. Good news that despite the fact that it hasn't been touched since the 1970s, there's a satellite Harrods in the airport, so it's at least an entertaining way to pass the time... but I digress. So I'm looking forward to London... I'm hoping to have some time to explore and see Buckingham Palace (I am a royal-watcher; can't help it; I was a girlie-girl and loved Princesses, of which Di was the epitome, of course), and the Tate (sooo looking forward to that), the REAL Harrods (the food hall-- can't wait), the National Gallery, and as much as I can fit into a few days (in between meetings and those silly distractions). God save the Queen!

How Can I Tell You

Evil diamond companies aside, can anyone tell me where I can get a legit (and complete) version of this Cat Powers' cover of Cat Stevens' "How Can I Tell You?"

Painting Update

It's DONE! (well, almost... just a few touch ups...), but I'm very proud of myself for completing it on my own (even the detail work). And my one chocolate brown wall? LOVE IT. It's amazing what a fresh coat of paint will do... to a room, and to life...

(And for anyone interested, the primary paint color is a tan-ish color... it looks white, but it's really tan... Ralph Lauren "Greenwich" to be exact).
