Today has been a big day so far, and it's only 3:06 pm.  At around 11:37 am, the door bell rang and gave me quite a start as I sat in the hallway fiddling with iMovie and wedding video footage (something I've been doing all day - and it's been a bit frustrating to say the least).  Anyway, I ran to the door and opened it quickly to see the Asda Man ( Read more... )

 At the beginning of November, I thought I was going to blog every day.  But then last weekend came and Clark Kent and I kept busy from morning till night buying a turquoise frying pan and bright green colander and other assorted household items.  And then last week happened - the week I spent from morning till evening scrubbing grease from the ( Read more... )

Five things on the agenda for this weekend include: going to the pub with Clark Kent's colleagues (to commence at 5 pm this evening), MOVING INTO OUR NEW FLAT!! (it's true!  We will say good bye to dorm living after one solid month), riding a new bus (the #9) to expand our horizons, going to Asda (OF COURSE) to buy household items (like our own ( Read more... )

Five foods I'm loving right now include tuna fish, fake Snickers (off brand Asda candy bars that are so obviously copied from Snickers), bramley apple pies, basmati rice (with plenty of salt and butter - a staple at dinner time and usually enjoyed 3 times a week), and beans (the English beans that are served at breakfast or on potatoes).

The English recite this poem about remembering the fifth of November because that's when Guy Fawkes's conspiracy The Gun Powder Plot was uncovered - just days before he planned on blowing up Parliament and consequently killing King James and his family (I think having something to do with religion - James didn't care for Catholics (or Puritans) and ( Read more... )

I wanted to stay up as long as it took to see Florida called.  I wanted to believe I was in it for the long haul.  I caved around 1:30 am (8:30 pm EST).  It was exciting a million miles away, by myself, in a darkened room with the computer on my lap and earbuds in my ears, with only MSNBC's live internet broadcast to keep me company; I can't ( Read more... )

It's 11:13 pm in the UK.  Clark Kent has already gone to bed and I sit wide awake in our "living room" wondering if Barack Obama will make it to the White House.  I hope he gets there come January.

Today was a lovely day.  Aside from spilling hot chocolate on my shirt twice, I listened to three podcasts from Craftsanity - actually, it might have ( Read more... )

 So, this was our 4th weekend in Reading - which means it was our 4th trip to Asda.  This time, however, I was determined to try something new at the cafe.  And, boy was I glad when I ordered the roast of the day:

I am so tired of people insinuating (by an idiotic Facebook status or forwarded mass email) that one cannot be both a Christian and vote for Obama.  And so, I choose to voice my frustration via livejournal.

I will post (maybe tomorrow) about our awesome weekend. 

Clark Kent and I haven't laughed so hard in...well...I'm not sure we've ever laughed so hard!  Before heading to Asda, we decided to play with the Mac application Photo Booth.  Now, I've seen pictures that others have taken with Photo Booth and truth be told, they never really amused me.  So, these photos might not amuse you all, but I'm posting ( Read more... )
