But first - dzero - can you see the fire or the smoke from your place. My friends from Sierra Madre had to evacuate. Now the fire is heading toward Pasadena. No, the sky is hazy but I can't smell smoke. Going towards Pasadena is going away from me so maybe that's why. I believe 2003 was the last time I could see flames from a fire burning in the nearby foothills. I didn't have to evacuate but did pack up a few things just in case. Some clothes, my Laptop ( that was a few laptops ago ) and of course I had my puppy Brandy ready to go.

If the wind changes you can drop Brandy off at my house. ( I have that pic of Brandy only it's larger.) I'm having a "girls" only week so she would fit right in. ;D

Michele is already missed - she always posts new info, pics and other stuff about NCIS. She better hurry back. Mr.Clark You lucky guy - I love London. You'll have a great time. We will miss your opinions around the old place. spikeloudThat scary holiday will be here before you know it. If you want some good advice - wait until next early summer before you take that week. Of course, you're not gonna do it - nobody takes my advice. My long vacation isn't 'til September and I'm anticipating. Anticipation is 1/3 of everything.

I also just received a DVD screener copy of Meet Bill which I'll be watching probably on the plane ride, maybe tonight if i finish packing quickly so when i get a chance once I'm settled i may post a review or just an opinion on it. But yea Londons one of my favorite cities and im so glad to be going back.

So yea im in london and its warm as hell. sh*t's crazy around here I'm apparently staying in the richest part of town because i see an average of 3 or 4 Bentleys and usually a couple Roll's each of the 3 days I've been here. Also at night when the clubs are going theres so many gold diggers running around you could swing a dead cat and hit at least six, my personal best so far is 8, not sure if I'll be able to crack double digits as its probably going to slow a bit on Sunday.
Also stuff is crazy expensive over here. Went to see Iron Man again $57 for two tickets! thats without refreshments and were not even talking IMAX!

I hope you at least got a foot rub? Was it what we'd call 'Gold Class'? www.villagecinemas.com.au/goldclass/Don't be fooled by the video. Nobody actually gets THAT dressed up to see a film, not even Gold Class!

This time zone thing bites. My hole like is on a schedule between 10am and 4am EST. Moving everything forward by 5 hours sucks. I've spent time in Europe before but now theres a possibility i may move over here for the foreseeable future. I'm just now realizing how difficult a transition this is going to be. I knew i'd be able to get the episode of my favorite tv shows (thankfully i only watch 3) over the internets but they don't hit the torrents till like 1130 or so EST thats like 530 in the fecking morning here. I suppose i hadn't fully appreciated this..
So yea I'm done bitching feel free to carry on.

I've made a major life decision in the last couple days. I share this here because I can honestly say that readers here are far more likely to understand this decision than are people I know in RL: I am not going to watch the NCIS season finale.I can't take the agony & stress, waiting for someone to bite the dust. Seriously. I have yet to watch AJBAC on one sitting, start to finish. I plan to hop on here or Special Ops or someplace after it's shown & see who's gone and if it's Tony, they've lost me as a viewer. Anyone else, I'll watch it, but depending who it is, I may wait a bit. (of course, this also solves the problem created by the fact that I will be spending Mon & Tues nights in New Orleans, and I would have had to dash back to the hotel 7-9 to watch the damn show, and possibly have had my appetite ruined for dinner afterward! ) and we'll see if I'm still so determined by next Tuesday...
