"friends/skip=495". And that's three days. 0.o If anyone has said anything I ought to read, and might have missed, wave at me in the comments, 'kay?
London. Yes. It feels like it should have been so much worse. I mean, the IRA were doing this barely a decade ago. They gave warnings, but it's still close enough that I imagine most people remember how to react. Timing is interesting, with both the mayor and the Prime Minister out of the capital. Also, timed to coincide with the beginning of the G8 talks, seven bombs, Britain with the most controversial agenda and the talks going on without our Prime Minister... Feel free to conspiracy theory into oblivion.
On that note, we got the Olympics? Yet more 0.o Current theory is Jacques Chirac's (sp?) tirade against Finnish cooking, when six members of the panel are Finnish (and we won by four votes), did the French bid no good. Still, between this and the bombs london transport is going to get the overhaul it desperately, desperately needs.
And in other news, it's my birthday ^_^ I have many books, and a homemade cake, and a digital camera, and a lot more money than I expected. And many many pens and pieces of cheap jewellery from my spam mail beliving grandmother. I'm not ungrateful, I'm just worried. Oh, and I got breakfast this morning, which was delicious!
One more week until we have internet in the house. Woo.
