ive uploaded the latest pic sets, “tower of london” in the touristy stuff, and “digress” in the late night london stuff. there are also a couple new pix in misc section and the friends section. there are too many albums in the touristy section now to fit all on one page, so to view the new album, you hafta click on the touristy stuff section, and then go to pg 2. how annoying is that. 😛

im sooo exhausted!! today we got up early to go sight seeing. kristie, her friend laura, and i went and walked all thru the tower of london. then emily came and met us and we went up tower bridge. we tried to go to st pauls cathedral but it was closing and we didnt wanna pay L6 to only see half of it, so instead we went to La Madeleine (a french cafe) to have dinner. from there we walked down to covent garden to meet rod and filthy american laura at a pub. thats the bare bones of the story…i fill in more later.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Today Emily and i went and did touristy stuffs. we went to Dali Universe, a small museum of the works of Salvador Dali. It was pretty neat, cept it didnt have any of the paintings hes really known for. there were some great water colors depicting romeo and juliet – lots of reds and blues. i wish they had those available in prints. there was also a small picasso display, but im not really into picasso and it wasnt even his best stuff (a lot of black and white ink pieces depicting a bull fight). then we went to the london aquarium. im quite spoiled by the tennessee aquarium, compared to that, this one was small and unimpressive. i definitely liked the shark tank, tho.

the museum and aquarium are located right by big ben, so afterwards emily and i walked around big ben and westminster taking about 80 pix a piece. then we headed over to tower bridge (which i hadnt even seen yet) and took some pix of that. it was really fun just walking around london and sight seeing. we got some fab photos 😀

when we got back home, kristie and laura met us at emilys house to watch robin hood (kevin costner version). they made fun of it the whole way thru saying it was cheesy and bad acting. *sigh*

tomorrow kristies best friend laura arrives. im gonna go pick her up from victoria and then well go meet kristie at her work. kristie spent the whole day today cleaning the house from top to bottom. she did an even better job than the cleaning lady. maybe we should just start paying kristie to clean instead. 😉

today is Boxing Day. in england they have *3* days of xmas (xmas eve, xmas day, and boxing day). on christmas eve most of the young people go to clubs and its the biggest night of the year for clubbing. then they have christmas day like a traditional christmas day. then boxing day (originally the day to give gifts to the servants and public service providers like your milk man), everything is still closed and they have another meal.
the girls have gone home now so its just kristie and me. this morning we baked a cake. we dont really have any plans to go out since everything will be closed.

ive added the pix from our xmas slumber party and the cake to the picture gallery.

PS – exactly one month till my birthday. 24 is old. its almost 25, which is almost mid-twenties.

It’s officially Christmas Day. All the boys have gone home for christmas, and emily and american laura are spending the night tonight here with kristie and me. we had hors d’orveurs (sp?) and played a game similar to taboo called articulate. one person describes a word and the other person has to guess it. no laura, “christmas day virgin island” is not a place, the answer is Christmas Island.

ok so btwn craig and the site admin guy, ive figured out how to upload my videos to the website and have added a link for them. all my old videos were lost when the old laptop died, but ive put up some of the new ones.
