creepy blanket advert

we saw this creepy "i want to be in a cult" blanket commercial a lot when we were in the states. i recently (though you probably have seen it before...) found this...

we're here for the beer.

a few weekends ago, toby and i spent the weekend in amsterdam. we've been wanting to go together for ages, but just never got around to it. well, tobes birthday was the 1st week of February and our anniversary was on the 11th, so we thought we found a good enough excuse to go. and then i got an extra mini bonus at work (thank you miss stephanie meyer and all of those vampire fans out there), so we now had an excuse, a little extra cash and a dream.

amsterdam is lovely. old rusted out dutch bicycles everywhere. seriously, the place is infested with them. but i'm not complaining. i belong in a city with so many beautiful bikes. and not a single person with a bike helmet. heaven i tells ya. (i HATE to wear my bike helmet, but understand it's pretty stupid not to have it on if you are cycling the streets of london).

being that amsterdam is so dang close to belgium, there were a lot of tasty brews to sample. and that's basically what we did. we sampled the food and the beer and wandered around. and it was a great time.







for the rest

fashionably late

joining the party a little late, but

CANNOT stop. playing guitar hero.

especially as i don't suck (as much) anymore.

toby's 26th.

toby celebrated his birthday the day after the big london snow day. the young one is 26 now. on the other side and heading to 30. haha...you're getting just as old as me tobes.

but it IS a reason for a mass skive

boris, you don't know.

thank you russia.

i'm enjoying my first ever (and probably only ever) snow day in london!!

all of the london buses are suspended and my train station is suspended too.

i'm going to go camera crazy with the snow in about 10 minutes. this is freakin' awesome!!

ps. if i had known i wouldn't have to go to work today, i would have watched the entire superbowl rather than the 1st quarter.

delighted

it is quarter to 7pm and it looks like this outside.
