As one final goodbye to the Olympics, here are 33 of the best gifs from London 2012.
Last week was our one week of summer. It was boiling. I thought I was going to pass out and die on the Tube. But this morning, the air was crisp and chilly. And there were some leaves on the ground. So I guess it's autumn now.
I saw a couple of Waldos on the train the other day. But here, it's "Where's Wally." Silly Brits.
Yes. I realize this is a creeper shot. |
Here's something strange I don't think I've mentioned yet: Occasionally over here you'll see a period ("full stop") used in place of a comma when there are numbers involved. Apparently it's a European thing. It's all very confusing.
I really liked this article on 10 Saturdays to have. I think I'll try to incorporate them into my life soon.
We went to the park the other night, and for the first time since I moved to London, I saw stars! And not just one or two, but a whole sky full! That's a big deal, because I swear stars are my love language. (I realize that doesn't make sense.) I've missed them so.
This is one of my pet peeves. Seriously people, you don't get a whole seat just for your bag.
Just plain rude. |
Sometimes when British-accented people say
"I'm artistic," I think they're saying "I'm autistic." Which may or may not cause me to stare confusedly and/or ask potentially offensive and definitely awkward follow-up questions. (Sorry about
that, random artistic guy I just met.)
Every so often -- and more and more often lately -- I accidentally spell something the British way, like favour instead of favor, or realise instead of realize. But don't worry. I'm always quick to delete it and correct my mistake.
