The Long Way Round and All Stops in Between

Ok...so just a short update today cause I'm getting tired of sitting at this computer! Not that I'm complaining. I'm SO happy to finally have it! But it seems like I've been sitting at it organizing photos ALL DAY today! So I think it's bed time.

I just had to say that my new favorite things right now are:

- The Long Way Round: Omg...so I had read about this mini-series that Ewan McGregor had done a year or more ago, but it was only shown on British Bravo channel. Well now they are showing it on Canadian OLN and I'm LOVING it. Ewan and his friend Charley ride around the world on their motorbikes and it's awesome. They start in London and aim to end up in New York...taking the Long Way 'Round. They are going through France, Belgium, Germany, Ukraine, Kasikstan, Russia, Mongolia, Alaska, Canada, the US and a ton of other places in between. It's insane! It's just the two of them and one other guy on a bike that's also a camera guy. Both Ewan and Charley have little camcorders that they interview each other with and most of the footage on the actual trip are from their own handheld cameras. It's so awesome. I've only seen the first two episodes so far...in the first one they are just doing their planning and getting ready. There's SO much planning and shit that goes into it, it's insane! They take first aid courses (which included learning how far your femoral artery will shoot blood...ew!), lessons in Russian, an fitness course (where much to Ewan's surprise they mostly exercise their 'arses'), some course about what to do if you're in hostile territory and getting shot at, try out different bikes to use, talk to a ton of different people from all the countries they will be going through to see if it's a smart idea (it's probably not...lol) and countless hours of paper work getting visas and border crossing papers in order. It's total insanity but it looks so amazing. They finally leave London at the end of the very first episode and it's so sweet and heartwarming seeing them set out on this journey. The second episode they make it all the way to the Russian border and spend alot of time in Kiev in the Ukraine. Craziness ensues! I just love it (can't you tell???) and can't wait for Tuesday and the next episode!!! YAY!!!

- Next up; my chubby little nephew: My sis in law has been sending me 'daily' updates of my cute little boy and tonight she sent me the cutest little video!!! He grinned and wiggled and smiled and was just good enough to eat. What a darling. I miss him and everyone so much...I can't believe he's so big now!!!! All his curls and dark, dark hair too that's prob so baby soft. Sigh. Miss you my boy!!!!

- Grey's Anatomy: Omg. One of the best shows since sliced bread!!! We just wish it was on every night like a soap opera. Though we know it wouldn't be as good then and we wouldn't have something to look forward too alllll week. But we LOVE this show!!!! Tonight it was so hilarious....it always manages to some how be hysterical and touching and heartwrenching at the same time. LOVE IT. Not to mention...who can resist Dr. McDreamy????

- Neopolitan ice cream: Cause we're poor we buy the cheap ice cream and we figured if we gotta buy the cheap stuff, at least get 3 flavours in one, right???? RIGHT! It's actually delicious though and I'm enjoying it VERY much. YUM!!!!

- And lastly; The Hard and The Easy: I just LOVE the new GBS cd so much I could eat it for dinner every night. I get River Driver stuck in my head every minute of the day and Sean just seems to be having SO much fun with this album you can't help but love it yourself. I heart everything about it. The fact that they seem to be embracing the internet more with their newsletters and the online early pre-orders and the new OKP, iTunes, the new dvd that came with the cd...all of it. It's amazing and I love it!!!

Ok...I also love to sleep...so I shall be off to do that now!!! Pics soon, I promise. Though maybe not tomorrow as tomorrow I work til 7pm and then it's off to the Railway Club for the monthly Singalong! Yay! I can't believe this will be my SECOND singalong already!! Where has the time gone????

NITE!
