While watching Dexter...

Hey,

So while I rewatch this season of Dexter before the finale next week, I figured I should inform the world that I'm still alive. Still no computer and it's killing me. The door bell rang this morning and I ran to get it... it was Parcel Force with a package for Montana. How unfair is this? It will two weeks since it got shipped on Wednesday.

So since I last posted, Thanksgiving came and went. It was great. Yeah, I didn't wake up to the smell of Turkey, no football, parade, or dog show, and no chips and dip...but I did get turkey. And cranberry sauce. Julie's flat had Thanksgiving and it was so good. I ate the stuffing that was not Stove Top, I had mashed potatoes with cheese in it, and even had some pumpkin pie that was a little too much for me, but the whipped cream was amazing. Invited to this party was: Simon (he woke up and drank all day...who's holiday is this), Tony, Aaron, Hudson, Kathleen, Lindsay, Victoria, Chris, Laurie plus bf, and me. There was another girl too who loves the Boosh, but I never caught a name. Montana didn't come because her mother was going to call her on Skype so she wanted to be there for that...she missed some great food. We had drinks, lots of food, and it was a lot of fun. I hear it went on until like 2am, but I left around 10pm because I ate too much and then got tired. Typical Thanksgiving. I did miss everyone, but we had a great time as well.

Other than Thanksgiving, just been spending time at the library on the computer all day. Trying to write my story, do homework, and stay sane without my own computer.

I've been to London twice in one week. I went in on Wednesday with Montana and Kathleen. They wanted to take the Christmas picture so we did that by Big Ben. They are working on it, maybe cleaning it so scaffolding was everywhere. We got a picture without it I believe. After that though, they went back to Kingston and I stayed around. I wanted to do some writing around Westminster, Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square and St. James Park. As soon as I started writing though it started raining. So I gave up that plan and went to Covent Garden to try and get Elyse's Christmas present. But they do the arts and crafts market on the weekend so that was strike two. It was now POURING! I got a new umbrella and walked down to Trafalgar Square. It was now raining more than pouring so I ducked into the National Portrait Gallery and looked at the portraits of the Tudors. It was fun and I was there for about an hour. When I left it had stopped raining. Went down to Trafalgar and started to write.

I will never get tired of Trafalgar Square. It is just so amazing and I love how you can see Big Ben from the stairs and just the fountains and the traffic. Ugh, I love it so much. I was there for awhile just writing everything I saw. I got ambushed by a tour group. I was standing looking at the National Gallery and all a sudden I have people all around me. The tour guide was behind me and just started talking. I decided it would be polite to get out of their way. The square was not that busy being like 3pm on a weekday and yet they pick ME to stand around and give the history of the square. THANKS!

I went down to the Arch next figuring I would head on to Buckingham, but it started raining again so I decided to go home. Well, I ended up at the library because it was around 5pm when I got home and I realized...that's 7 hours of being in my house without a computer. No way that could happen. I would die of boredom.

Saturday I went back into London with better luck. I walked ALL around and got the writing done that I needed. Even got Elyse's present. As I finished writing, it started raining. Big surprise. But it was a good day in London and I even found a cool fact. Jeremy Bentham, philosopher and reformer lived in a house where the Ministry of Justice building is now. Now, you might ask who is Jeremy Bentham??? LOCKE'S ALIAS ON LOST! I hate the writers of Lost. They are so freaking good. I stared at this sign just thinking, "Damn them." When Locke is trying to convince Jack, Kate, Sun, Sayid, and Hurley to go back to the island he uses the name Jeremy Bentham. This gets me soo excited for Lost which starts Feb 2!!!

I didn't do a lot on Sunday. I was at the library and James texted asking if anyone wanted pizza. He texted just as the Patriots game was about to start. I decided to stay with the Patriots just to listen to them lose. Errrrrr.

I have had fun listening to the Avalanche this past week. Mary Beth has been watching too so we facebook during the games. They got robbed both games first by Anderson being taken out in overtime and then by the Pens. They scored against Fleury, I saw the goal and yet it wasn't allowed because the whistle blew before the puck crossed the goal line. Oh wait, that's what they said happened, but I saw it and there's a two second delay between the puck crossing the goal line and the whistle. How was that not reviewed upstairs? It's clearly a goal. Ugh, I'm still upset because the articles about the game made it seem like the Pens killed the Avalanche. So did not happen. Mary Beth punched something when it happened. LOL.

So that's it for me. I'm just sitting in the house on Kathleen's computer. I finished watching the newest Dexter twice, and now I'm back to episode 7. This season is just TOOOO GOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!
