So i just realized that I never used all my videos that I uploaded in a post so I figure I'd just dump them into a cute post all at once. Yay efficiency!

Helloes everyone! I'm officially home (well I have been for a few days). Finally getting a post up. Hence the change in page design from London to Ice....it's freezing here!

Anyways, Anám was kind enough to decorate my room for my home coming and it looks amazing! It was so nice to get home (however delayed it was) and see that. So thanks Anám!
Here's some pictures of the coordinated mess he left me with:

Just a bunch of photos that I thought I'd share with y'all. And if you're wondering I took all of these.

Yesterday was an outing to Greenwich Park (for which GMT is named). The Royal Observatory is here, and this is where the central longitude line passes thru. So basically there's a nice line in the ground that divides eastern and western hemispheres. It was a gorgeous day with all the trees losing their leaves. We had lunch in a little Chinese restaurant in the high street of maritime Greenwich and took loads of pictures of the area. Later that day there were fireworks over the Thames for Remembrance Day. The pictures didn't work out too well but you can get the idea. Linky.

new sport

Today I have officially created a new sport. Possibly one for the Olympics. I title it:
Tube Surfing
Now I bet you're really confused. Here's how it works. You find an empty (or mostly empty) subway car. You'll have to get an empty one to get the good feeling behind it. Also pick a train line that travels somewhat fast (45+ mph). Stand at the back of the car, facing the front of the train (as in when it leaves you'll be pushed backwards by the motion). Stand as close to the little door that connects the two cars and lean against it, provided you won't be thrown out of the door by doing said leaning. Essentially this will be your view of the car:

Subwaycar

Obviously when the car pulls away you'll be pushed against the back of the train. When it reaches full speed, take a few steps forward. Place your feet wider than your shoulders, and stand on the balls of your feet. Look as far into the next car(s) that you can. Every little bump and sideways sway that the car does you'll essentially be 'surfing' over. It's really fun to do. I do it on my commute daily. If you can get some good tunes from your iPod that let you sway and get into it, that helps too.

I'm totally on team USA for Beijing 2008...
