kybearfuzzDay one ended on a good note. The part of London I am in is not very club oriented, so not too much nightlife. I also hate going to these places solo. So... I ended up at the movies and saw "Pirates of the Caribbean". I had been wanting to see it for some time and the timing seemed good. While on the way, I and a couple of guys passed the "Finding Nemo" poster and I overheard them talking that they couldn't wait to see it. I remarked that it was an awesome movie and that they'll really enjoy it. I guess my American accent let them know how I had seen it. I didn't realize that the movies sometimes don't get released overseas for some time.
"Pirates" was an awesome flick. Love the special effects and stunts, which I think really made the movie. I will say that Johnny Depp was excellent, both creepy and humorous. Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightly make a good couple too.
Got my wake up call at 7:30 AM (that's 2:30 AM for the folks on EST back home, and it still feels like 2:30 AM for me right now). Packed up my bags and am waiting for my ride to Swindon in Wiltshire. I thought that since I was here for the next few hours, I'd check the email again.
Well, I'm off to walk around a bit more and then head back to the hotel. BBC TV is pretty limited, I guess the Brits aren't as TV-oriented as we Americans. They have four channels opposed to our twentysomething. Hopefully will have something more interesting to write about later.

I heard they got another TV station, when I was there, we only had three! Blew my mind. I heard they do have cable and satalite too though.
When you watch TV, you will notice their humor is a lot different then ours, but you will also find it in time, you will love it!
As far as movies are concerned, it goes both ways, sometimes the American's will release a movie first in Europe to see how it does before releasing it to us. Superman was like that...God, is that showing my age or what? Lol!
Sounds like your having a good time, wish I could spend it with you! You'd be a blast in a pub!
One more work day for me, and Wednesday I will be in Florida! I am so nervous Mark, I know it sounds silly, but the truth!
Later bear!
Hugs,
Gary
