Bear Left, Dogg.

So I saw this on SNL and EW.com, and thought it was hilarious. Apparently, Tom Tom GPS systems have gotten Snoop Dogg to be a celebrity navigator. He recorded his voice so that when you jump in your car and don't want to get lost, Snoop Doggy Dog will get you to the do'.

So as some of you may know, Allie and Matt and I were in a chorus concert on Saturday afternoon for our All Campus Choral Ensemble performance. Allie was in the alto section, Matt was a bass, and I was in the tenor and alto sections. According to the teacher, I was mentioned in both sections of the program for singing in two different sections.

So I took a look, and as it turned out, I was listed as two different people. In the Alto section, I was listed as Alexandra Palombo (as I had asked, that's my name). In the tenor section, I was listed as Alex Palumbo - my last name was spelled wrong and it was cut down to Alex to make it look like it was a man singing in the men's section.

I figure that the last name was an honest mistake, - I mean, really, the same person is in the program twice, you would think someone would look above and make sure they were at least consistent if not right - but I don't know about the first name issue. Looking at the program, it felt as if the teacher was trying to deny that there was a woman singing tenor.

Tripping About

At right is a (very small) version of the London Tube (subway) map. It has 12 different lines, all connecting Zones 1-6 and perhaps beyond of London: Bakerloo, Central, Circle, District, East London, Hammersmith & City, Jubilee, Metropolitan, Northern, Picadilly, Victoria, and Waterloo & city.

My plan is this: To take as many tube rides as possible and get pictures of myself at/around all of the stops.



I want to really see as much of London (and the surrounding areas) as possible, and I've heard that other than the double decker buses (which I totally plan on using) and walking, that the Tube is the best way to get around. Very easy, very quick, very connected. So what better way to get a full city experience than to use the Underground with everyone else?

I want pictures of myself with the signs, sort of like this one that I took on the Paris Metro line (yes, in fact, Stalingrad is a stop on the PARIS metro, not on the Moscow Underground). Now granted, I wasn't in these photos, but I want a bunch to make a huge collage of all the places I've been. I want to really explore through London, and if that means taking pictures of myself with signs like the one at left, I'm totally okay with looking like a total tourist and doing so.
