monday rambles...

i'm home sick today. i'm very bored and tired, but can't sleep. the mucus won't let me.

so, i'm watching tv. right now, the news in london is about helen mirren and the oscars, the cumbria train crash, and something about cows and milk. i'm not really sure what that one is about. i don't know where the remote is to turn it up. maybe we shouldn't drink milk anymore.....i don't know.

there is a school nearby where we live. the kids are out for a recess break or something. they are running around and hitting each other with sticks. the wind is carrying their loud voices to my flat. just a lot of children screaming. the window is also showing that it is a very cloudy, windy day. it looks cold.

it looks cold, but it is kind of springy over here. the daffodils are up all over town. it's a cheerful thought.

Starting to dislike Uma...

Uma Thurman is the new face of the new mass media company Virgin Media. She's been doing these horrible commercials over here that make me change the channel whenever I see them. She stands there and says you can pause her, rewind her, fast forward her, etc, etc...annoying annoying annoying. I bet you she isn't doing them in the States. Nope, she wouldn't do them over there.

Anyway, I decided to look for a little picture of one of these commercials so I could add it to this blog. Posts are a lot more interesting when you have a picture to go along with it....I didn't find a picture, but I did find out how much money she got for these annoying commericals. 36$ Million! Can you believe that? Just for lending her strange looking face to 2 commericals, they gave her all of that money. How freakin' annoying is that?

GRRRRRR

Snow pictures!

We got more snow! And while I'm sure I could find some much prettier pictures on the internet (the rest of England looks very beautiful and winter wonderlandish), it wouldn't be true to what we got in London. The city's just too warm to keep the snow I guess. I did get to watch some flakes fall during work today and that was a bit of a bonus.

Keep warm.

Happy Birthday Toby!

You can't do anything but adore that lovable, goofy face. And now it's a whole 24 years old!
