Nott What You'd Expected...

Killa Threez

Today's post brought to you by the number 3. I ran 3.3 miles today. I am 1/3 of the way through mustachetober, I have to read 3 excerpts for American Lit tomorrow. This is my 30ish post.

Today was lazy as crap, as most Tuesdays and Thursdays will be.... I woke up late, enjoyed Musli, read the paper, typed my article response, and read for hours and hours about the BPS, or British Political System, before running and listening to a lecture...

Basically, to rant before my two awesome pics, the British political system is confusing as shit. Their Parliament is dominated by the House of Commons, an elected body that meets for up to 5 years, but can be dissolved at any time before the 5 year period is up. The Prime Minister is the head of the Executive Branch, and also head of the Legislative Branch. Tony Blair, the current PM was elected because his party, the somewhat right leaning yet still liberal Labour Party holds a majority of 355 of the total of 644 Ministers of Parliamant (MP). The queen is merely a figurehead and a relic who some say should be abolished and replaced with a President, to act as the Head of State. It's confusing enough, and then when you realize that they don't have a written constitution and that any law Parliament makes automatically becomes part of the Constitution, your head wants to explode.

In other news, i have figured out why my phone wasn't working for those in the states who were eager to text. basically, enter my phone number as the following, and text away:
011447960042435

Finally, here are two righteous pics- the first being our BradyBunch-esque dry erase creation in the hall (reminiscient of Family Reunion tshirts gone by.... i still remember Mom's hair that for some reason looked like a beard)....

(starting from the top, left to right are: Ryan, Aaron, Anna, 2nd row: Mary, Hil and Emily, 3rd row:Brandon, Kate and I, then finally Mark and Carol...)

These next few are yet more BW shots of my ferocious and altogether nasty Mustachetober attempt..... only 20 more days....
Actually, I'll add this last one, Matthew playing football like Thierry Henry. He's kinda tall, so make that Liverpool's Peter Crouch... the red jersey matches well...and he's pretty white.

I really need to go out more....
