( A London-based bride and groom will be taking the Tube to their 'Green Wedding' on Saturday 12 July. )

Work has been sooooooo slow today. Bisi and I have "fought" over what little there is to do. But it's tiring trying to look busy all the time. At least I have the internet here, unlike at Mundelein Peds. But still... after a while, your eyes blur and there's nothing to do anyway. I wish I could just sit and watch Daily Show and Colbert Report, or ( Read more... )

I read this story last night on the way home, but Yahoo had it on their site this morning, and it's too amazing not to share.LONDON (AFP) - Bomb experts were on Friday working to defuse an unexploded World War II bomb found near a London Underground station, a police spokesman confirmed ( Read more... )

This past Friday was the one year anniversary of my living in London. The Thursday a week before that was the sixth anniversary of my livejournal. I still cannot believe how quickly time is flying. Nor how far I've come ( Read more... )

Way back in October, just after we found out I got my UK work permit, Shanaz and I wrote to "Friday Night with Jonathan Ross" to see if we could get tickets.

I promised to get back in the LJ habit this year, and so far no dice. It's purely because I don't have the internet (STILL!) at the house, so all of my internetting is done at work, and when 5:30 rolls around I usually don't feel inclined to stay (today is an exception. I'm going to have drinks with Janice and Nita and some of Janice's friends, so ( Read more... )

To begin, a quote from Dostoevsky:
“It's life that matters, nothing but life - the process of discovering, the everlasting and perpetual process, not the discovery itself, at all. But what's the use of talking! I suspect that all I'm saying now is so like the usual commonplaces that I shall certainly be taken for a lower-form schoolboy sending in ( Read more... )

I went for a run this morning, and about ½ way through my back right side started to spasm. It cut short what was my most productive run yet - 10-15 minutes straight, without stopping, which is pathetic but I haven’t done since my free Bally’s trial. So I have decided to start taking my muscle relaxers and anti-inflammatory medication regularly ( Read more... )

I’m glad work is slow and all, but why is no one online? On google email, anyway. I feel guilty doing anything else. I’m just updating this quickly, really quickly, before the guilt sets it. Damn you, M. Peds for making me afraid to enjoy a down moment or two. At my old job, I had to constantly be looking for something to do, always afraid one of ( Read more... )
