Sunny California

I have very mixed reviews about the Giraffe restaurants at Heathrow. A. I like the food well enough. B. Smoothies are okay, but not like Jamba Juice from the States C. The biggest problem is the wait service.

The wait service is visibly miserable because they work at probably the hardest locations in the world. What’s worse, is that they call everyone “darling,” which as you can tell is part of our name. As the bartender from Forgetting Sarah Marshal would say, “you probably think strippers like you too?” I honestly think it’s just as bad as the Hooters restaurant chain.

I have to say, the flight was oddly good. If you are going to hit the West Coast, yes to British Airways, no to United Airline. Virgin Airways, no idea. All I can say is seatguru.com. If you can choose your seat, use it. Anyway, you have your own personal video screen with tons of movies that are played on demand.

The one movie I must mention is The Happening. I decided not to see it back in London when I read the “tomato” rating from rottentomatoes.com. It got blasted. I personally think that it is one of the most freaky and scary movies in the last year.

Anyway, from now on, I’ll be writing from California. So, be prepared for a more Californian point of view, but hopefully I will not forget London. London is so much part of who I am now and I just love it, but T.I.L. Darling is not leaving the UK, but just expanding outside of it.
