London - Having a Blast!
Perhaps you saw the big news today? It's almost impossible to believe something like this would happen while I'm in England. Kinda exciting since no one was hurt, but also sobering and scary. Very surreal waking up in the morning, turning on the television news, and letting your jaw drop as the crawl goes across the bottom of your screen.
Spice Girls to re-unite.
I mean, really, what are the odds that this would happen while I'm in London? First the new Prime Minister, now this. The world has gone all crazy on me.
Oh - and there was an unexploded car bomb found on Haymarket near Piccadilly Circus, where I was going to meet up with my family. The massive police presence closing off that street made us change our plans, so we met up back at the hotel.
Anyways, the excitement notwithstanding, had another great day in London. British Museum, Harrods, BAFTA lounge for a meeting. Highlight of the day was the British Museum, which is AWESOME. Too much great stuff to see, but my favorite might have been this-
Look! They're the ancient Egyptian equivalent of Pez. I'd like to think that ancient Egyptian kids could flick the head up and get sweet sweet rectangular candy out of them. Collect them all!
There's another interesting bit to this trip that I hadn't expected - I'm taking way too many pictures. I started out with 2 gb of free space on my laptop - and it's already gone. So I went through and started deleting stuff off my laptop. I feel like I'm in Apollo 13 - I'm stripping everything I can from my laptop to turn it into a flying gas can. I'm deleting everything to make room for pictures. I've got 4 gb of free space left. I don't think I'm going to make it.
More blogging from London to come after I get my Spice Girls reunion tickets. I'll tell ya what I want what I really really want. SO TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT WHAT YOU REALLY REALLY WANT.
Have fun getting that tune unstuck out of your head.

It's been stuck in my head for 10 years. I don't think it's going away anytime soon.
