Collection of thoughts, photos
Happy Easter to those who celebrate! And to everyone else- happy Sunday/Monday! It's been an absolutely beautiful 20+ degree weather this week in London (heh, back in Canada they had snow) and I spent most of this afternoon on a rooftop garden after being stuffed full of delicious food. Also, way too many chocolate eggs ( Read more... ) -

OLYMPICS
OMG, Olympics! I haven't posted about them because, well, I suck at updating these days but I have been obsessed, staying up to watch them on BBC iplayer, usually until ridiculously late into the early morning. But then again, not a surprise, since I've grown up in a family where when the Olympics are on, Summer OR Winter, they are on 24/7 and ( Read more... ) -
Band of Brothers
Band of Brothers ♥! I can't believe it's taken me so long to finally watch this series! I've had it on my external harddrive since the summer. Now I'm one episode away from the end and I'm almost hesitant to watch it - I don't want it to be over already!
