This week has been a busy one at work. Daily press clippings took quite a while towards the beginning of the week because there were so many movies and events that the clients were involved in over the weekend. It was very interesting to help out with last minute details for the First Light Awards which took place on Tuesday at the Odeon in Leicester Square, as well as with other big projects that others in the office have been working on.
On Monday evening I ran back from work to meet my friend Brittanee to go to buy half price theatre tickets for a musical. We made it to Leicester Square and stopped at one of the many ticket booths around. After searching for tickets for a few shows, we decided to see Legally Blonde! In a little over twenty minutes, we found ourselves in our seats ready to see the show. I was really excited that this was the show we selected, because neither of us had seen it before. Additionally, I have been dying to see it for a few years now. The show was great! It was one of those shows that you just can't stop smiling during because it is so ridiculously funny and entertaining. I loved dancing along to some of my favorite songs including "What You Want" and "So Much Better"and just seeing the show performed live. After the show we headed to McDonalds for a quick late night snack before stopping in Trafalgar Square to see the brand new Olympic Countdown clock which was just revealed that day.
Today during class we got to attend the Ideal Home Show at the Earl's Court Convention Center. The expo reminded me so much of the sales displays at the Minnesota State Fair in the Grandstand except on a much larger scale. The show features just about everything that you would like for your home. My first stop in the expo was the food area which had many free samples and food demonstrations. I stopped for a few minutes to watch one of the celebrity chefs prepare a dish. Next, I saw the "Ideal Woman" section which had many little jewelry, accessories, and clothing stands, free hair and makeup displays, and a fashion show with choreographed dancers. I got a free manicure in one section of the exhibition. In the center of the convention center there was a huge pond with boats and a restaurant to have tea which was surrounded by waterfalls. The ground floor featured hundreds of booths with home improvement goods and outdoor goods. There even were two model homes contained within the building! Overall walking around at this huge event and taking in all of the action made for a very relaxing Friday morning.
