I love the rails in that beach picture, and the ukulele in the second! And Sex Pistols jokes are always bad jokes, but they’re the kind of bad jokes that make me happy. :)

The only thing cooler than the individual things in this post would be if you’d seen a British punk on a Clydesdale who offered to dry your clothes for you.

Thanks! It may already be the next big thing, you know, Europe always gets everything before us. ;)

Your pictures of food make me hungry. And hologram fart needs to be the next big thing, I think.

“It was like getting a ride from your friend’s mom, who is good-natured and well-intentioned, but misses turns because they’re busy telling you a story about their cat.”

Also, this is totally me except the “mom” part. Ugh I’m an old lady already.

Thanks! It was one of those things I couldn’t believe was happening, it was so perfectly adorable.

The part about the “hologram fart” had me in stitches. I like the way [I imagined] that little boy says “pick-cha.”

I think simply the fact that your title has so many words makes it the clear winner here.

I settled down after about a week. I had an antsy feeling of “I HAVE TO DO THIS AND THAT AND MAKE GOOD USE OF MY TIME HERE.” I kept busy, but taking things slowly has its perks, too. I think that’s the point of study abroad, being able to be in a different country for a long time, and slowly acclimating to it.

It would be: “Cathy’s Tour for You Think Art Doesn’t Rock? Look At This Dude’s Face Getting Bit Off By A Dragon. Yeah. Art Rocks.”

I’m really loving the colors on these pages and the previous ones. I hate that crazy, unsettled feeling you get when you’re somewhere new and know you’re going to be there for a while but you’re scared that feeling won’t go away. That’s how I felt when I was in NC and it never did go away until I moved back.

I think your tour for little boys is an excellent idea. You could call it “Cathy’s Badass Tour for Artistically-inclined Young Men”.

Thanks so much! My handwriting slowly gets better as the pages progress, I assure you. But not… that much better. And I think they were staring at me because I was this creep sitting on a bench eating cold sausage rolls with a crazed look in my eyes.

Yeah! I’m glad you’re excited!
