I've moved

to LONDON.

So far, my explorations have been to:

Portobello Road antiques market



The whole time I was thinking, Hugh Grant, where is High Grant, is he hiding amongst all these Americans?

Whilst the houses are clearly gorgeous, I did wonder why anyone would wish to live on that particular street, and you would be mobbed by tourists everyday.

I can definitely tell the difference between East and West London. It's a territorial thing. As I got back on the Central line to take me home, I walked for the Eastbound platform. I thought, yes, East, people are more sensible there. It is a place where 4 toilet rolls cost £1.30, which is robbery enough, not £1.80, like in West London. In West London, people are swimming in money, it comes out of their noses.

I've also been to the Whitechapel art gallery, which I thought was wonderful, especially as it was free.

They had this exhibition on about Picasso's Guernica, by a Polish artist called Goshka Macuga. It was all about how the tapestry in the UN HQ in New York was concealed during a speech Colin Powell made in support of the Irag war. Great.

Ialso enjoyed their exhibit of Elizabeth Peyton's work, although it was much further from genuis. How hard is it to paint a picture of Pete Doherty looking pensive? I'm not an art brain of course, and the pop culture value was fun. She had Noel and Liam, Bowie and Jarvis. I wonder what Jarvis himself would think of it.
