Nott What You'd Expected...

Gobble Gobble

Due to the fact that i'll be kneading buns in about 20 minutes, i'll be brief.

Last night was the Superhero Pub Crawl and John Meyer's arrival at Nottingham....

The pub crawl was a success, measured mostly by the fact that i feel like crap today.

John pulled up in a taxi at around 2am, and the gang stayed up talking until 4...ish.




Thanksgiving is a strange time here in the UK. Because there's no such thing as Thanksgiving, Christmas decorations can go up before Halloween is over.... it's really all they have to hold onto, wheras the 'Holiday Season' in the states actually contains more than one holiday...

A teammate (girl from Liverpool) last night asked what Thanksgiving was all about.... And I blanked. Was it in remembrance of a meal the Pilgrims and Indians (sorry, Native Americans) shared together? Was this before the settlers handed out smallpox ridden blankets or aftewards? Its funny, once you learn more about the history of early America, it either makes Thanksgiving more of reason to celebrate or an event that couldn't possibly have happened.

In either case, it's cute to know that around the globe, my grandma is making the same 5 hour rolls that I am....

I will miss football, I will miss crappy parades. I will not miss out on gorging myself like a real American, I will not miss out on REAL pumpkin pie, I will not miss out on turkey leftovers.

Happy Turkey Day
