Random thoughts over the last day

[almostwitty]

• 12:20 is amused that the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, is telling people to take the day off and go shopping at Westfield. cli.gs/tpJzWV #
• 13:22 is ruing having decided to hold a celebratory work lunch. The politics of who should be invited... oy vey! #
• 16:25 is pondering whether he should pop into the latest cathedral to consumerism tonight or not #
• 17:40 is amused by the quote on a depressed Brit who underwent therapy: "I was so bad I thought daytime television was good" cli.gs/VEhuTn #
• 22:42 my, doesn't Mark Thompson look tired? #
• 22:49 first they came for Russell Brand, then they came for Mock The Week... #
• 23:00 is surprised the poppy is a symbol worn in America, at least according to the BBC's Question Time, coming from Washington DC #
• 23:30 is admiring Question Time for its reduction of international stereotypes. Americans = loud, divided. Britain = bemused, slightly sneering. #
• 23:50 is impressed my Dad - in Hong Kong - knows that Doctor Who is leaving. Bless him... #

We wear them during Veteran's Day and Memorial Day, and recite the poem as well. Every once in awhile you'll see a poppy tied to a car antennae and such. :)

Ours are simple too, those are just prettified ones. Ours are geenerally made of paper and florist twine, and Vet associations sell them for a dollar outside of department stores/Wal Mart around Vet. day and Mem. Our TV people usually just wear the flag pins. :) And good morning, sweetie!
