A quick summary of what happened over the past week:

• Saw Prince Charles & Camilla in person...they were about 2 feet away from me. FYI - they look OLDER in person (not that that is a bad thing)
• Napoli won the Coppa Italia which somewhat redeems their season
• Nice victory for Chelsea in the Champions League...should have been Real Madrid or Napoli but ( Read more... )

Really...NAPOLI....really???? *sheds tear* Ahh well. I guess it's time to revert back to my 'Hala Madrid' cheer for the remainder of the Champions League.

I was just delivered the best news of the week: I do NOT have to attend the meeting scheduled for this weekend in Cambridge. I am literally doing cartwheels right now. I guess this could be carry over cartwheels after Napoli's victory yesterday. I can forgive Napoli for their current Serie A *cough* situation if they make it through to at least the ( Read more... )

Going a little stir crazy right now. Due to various appointments and requirements I have not been able to watch the latest episode of Merlin and I won't get a chance to see it until Tuesday night. ACK the withdrawal is painful!!

Also for this Tuesday the power will be out in my building for a major chunk of the morning and early afternoon thus ( Read more... )

How is it possible that NOT ONE OF MY 300+ CABLE CHANNELS is covering the ROMA vs NAPOLI game? Really??!!

*reluctantly settles for Lazio vs Udinese*

It didn't bode well for Napoli after the first half. They played like crap but fortunately for them Villareal really couldn't put anything together. Meanwhile, Man City had ( Read more... )

Perfect results today in the Champions League. Real Madrid CRUSHED Dinamo Zagreb 6-2. Only problem with that game is that NO ONE covered it so I couldn't watch it....However I was able to watch the Napoli - Man City match and that resulted in a HUGE victory for Napoli. They really needed that win. 2-1. Cavani scored both goals. Truthfully Man City ( Read more... )

Football went rather well this weekend. Quite the mixed bag of results. A jubilant Jose Mourinho celebrates the Real Madrid victory with a piggyback ride?? The man is crazy...but what can I say, I love him for it. And The Ramos scored :) Meanwhile my two fav Serie A teams, Napoli and Lazio, battle it out to a scoreless draw. I predicted it would ( Read more... )

Podrick Payne has been cast...\o/...so he will definitely be around for season two of Game of Thrones.

Access Hollywood can exclusively reveal that actor Daniel Portman has been cast as Tyrion’s squire, Podrick Payne. Podrick is actually in the first book in author George R. R. Martin’s “A Song of Ice and Fire” series, but was not shown in Season ( Read more... )

First off I want to thank amdisa  for her assistance in renewing my LJ for another year. It is much appreciated. I am looking forward to our visit on the Victoria Day weekend :)

The weather in Toronto has finally taken a turn for the better and we are in the double digits with sunshine for the next few days. Yesterday I was finally able to pack away the ( Read more... )
