minervasolo"friends/skip=495". And that's three days. 0.o If anyone has said anything I ought to read, and might have missed, wave at me in the comments, 'kay?
London. Yes. It feels like it should have been so much worse. I mean, the IRA were doing this barely a decade ago. They gave warnings, but it's still close enough that I imagine most people remember how to react. Timing is interesting, with both the mayor and the Prime Minister out of the capital. Also, timed to coincide with the beginning of the G8 talks, seven bombs, Britain with the most controversial agenda and the talks going on without our Prime Minister... Feel free to conspiracy theory into oblivion.
On that note, we got the Olympics? Yet more 0.o Current theory is Jacques Chirac's (sp?) tirade against Finnish cooking, when six members of the panel are Finnish (and we won by four votes), did the French bid no good. Still, between this and the bombs london transport is going to get the overhaul it desperately, desperately needs.
And in other news, it's my birthday ^_^ I have many books, and a homemade cake, and a digital camera, and a lot more money than I expected. And many many pens and pieces of cheap jewellery from my spam mail beliving grandmother. I'm not ungrateful, I'm just worried. Oh, and I got breakfast this morning, which was delicious!
One more week until we have internet in the house. Woo.

Date: 7/7/05 08:46 pm (UTC)I heard about the bombs on the radio, and my first thought was "is there ANYTHING Americans wouldn't do to keep their SUVs?" They're dead set against reducing their spewing of badness into the air. Wouldn't surprise me if... no, bad thoughts, will not have FBI-agents on my doorstep.

Date: 8/7/05 05:27 am (UTC)But hey, I hadn't known this: six members of the panel are Finnish
Hah! Beware the revenge of the Finns! *ROFL* I also heard somewhere that it might've had something to do with the recent arrogance of the French, who supposedly have been behaving as if they'd won the 2012 games already... just might've ticked some other people off, not just my countrymen.
