sigh

itøs OVERRRRR well almost over. vacay is almost over and then itøs time to come home to reality. not quite sure if i am ready to do so, but then again not sure how much longer i can do the whole family all around thing. love them, appreciate them, but not use to having to compromise 3 different ways. itøs exhausting.

i have been keeping track of my daily travels during the cruise, but entries are on my laptop. couldnøt be bothered to pay for the net minutes while there. rather spend the money on booze.

oh which, i didnøt even drink very much of and i think i ate more cheese (hey man, it was provided freely and it was expensive by vancouver standard cheese) than drinking beer.

will post the regular entries as soon as i know the internet password in this hotel or when i get home.

have about 5000+ photos!! i know i know itøs not about quantity, itøs about quality, but iøm sure damn glad i bought that 8gb card.

some memories?
-watching swan lake ballet in st petersburg at the bolshy theatre
-watching the consumeristic frenzy of ´toursits, my mum included, over some amber at the amber factory
-going redonkulous over trying to figure out how to take the best headshots on deck 7, with dawn
-the last sunset over the baltic sea
-the scandinavians are absolutely beautiful and i long to be in their golden shadow in hopes of gaining an ounce of their beauty
-the vigeland park. '6 minutes, such wisdom' such humanity, so much life in so many statues
-the multiple towel animals i made the steward make... i think that added extra work to his daily duties
-the amber room in catherinøs palace. one of the most amazing and intricute pieces of art iøve ever seen in my entire life
-the old town of tallinn and itøs surprising charms
-visiting wimbledon
-spending the day with alex while he trudged after me while i shopped my little heart out. poor dear, i put him thru the ringer on that one.

ohoh, and do i really look like iøm 14-16 yrs of age?! b-c i constantly kept getting the dubious looks of really... 'youøre legal. you can drink?' bloody hell...

so... that was just a short summary, all that i can think of right now. will post my previous entries soon.

ta da!

regards,
fat lamb.

plump

i know what iøm going to get fat on. not beer. oh no. iøm going to get plump on CHEESE omg i just had an awesome breakfast and i never eat breakfast. felt like a survivor contestent who was just told i was allowed to eat! so. much. cheeese.... heart cheese. HEARRTTTT ITTTTTT. :( iøm going to have stinky farts later...

leon

remember that movie, leon? or otherwise known as the assassin? it was on last night! natalie portmanøs very first movie at the age of 12. she was so brilliant in it. love that movie. watched it on the ømermaid technologyø tv ultra slim tv in the room. wonder how much it cost? probably not as much as the 83,500 pounds like the bang and olufson in selfridges... i wonder if i could sneak it into my suitcase. ... probably frowned upon.

cheshire cheese

is a pub thatøs been around since 17th century. there were plenty of ømind your stepø signs all over the inside of the pub. even IIIII had to mind MY step. iøm 5'2. and not yet a plump lambchop. which means, back in the 17th century ppl were like... 5'2 or under and WAYYYYY skinnier...

bobbies

wish i could post photos right now, but on a public computer. anyway, the updated bobby photo is one with machine guns. at least they were happy looking bobbies holding machine guns. did you know theyøre not allowed to take the photo, but can be in it? i guess that makes sense... canøt hold your machine gun and a camera at the same time!

perpetually sweating

just saying.... itøs perpetual and annoying and quite frankly not hawt. will be happy when cruise men take over the hauling luggage for parents. starting to feel like a pack mule who isnøt getting fitter by hauling luggage, but may be developing a beer gut from bending over with the weight.... and from the beer drinking of course.

sketch fest

letting a buzzed drunken brit hold your brand new camera b-c heøs insisting on taking a photo of you in front of the cheshire cheese lambpost. better to let him just do it lest he bonks us on the head with his can of beer. nonetheless we were poised to tackle him should he run. will post photo later.

free internet?!

what a concept! b-c i finally found free net access in copenhagen. pardon the danish keyboard like... æøøæøæøæøæøæø椤¤¤ fun right?
london was good. ate traditional brit food aka bangers and mash (like the radiohead song), drank beer, shopped at selfridges (google it b-c itøs baller. selfridges greater than harrods x 10), took my silly dorkass photos, and hung out with alexxxi. ÓH how can i forget, went to wimbleeddonnnn. centre and no 1 court are a lot smaller in the inside than it appears to be on tv, but i guess everything is like that. wasnøt allowed to touch the grass, b-c if i was allowed i wouldøve rolled around and rubbed myself all over it sighing with happiness... i guess itøs ppl like me is why they donøt let visitors go on the green.
arrived in copenhagen a bit late in the day., just ate at wagagamamas which i thought was only in the UK?! the hotel weøre staying at here is pretty baller. baller as in danish clean lines baller with the sickest flat screen ever. going to turn on every appliance just b-c i can.
ok i canøt think of anything witty to say as the witty comments are stored on my mac which iøll have to type back out here later. ... though youøre probably thinking you havenøt said anything witty this entire time! well whateves, iøm off my game.
oh ya, just remembered. selfridges. as i said, uber awesome, opulence, luxurious that really makes me question, ?! really bad sinking economy?! tell that to the rich folks in there buying up all the LV and gucci as if it was grocery shopping! but i guess we have to save somewhere, which is why there were TONS of ppl waiting to get their VAT back. hah. but ya, opulence to the max. how much? well they were selling a bang and olufson tv for... 83,500 POUNDS!!! thatøs POUNDS thatøs... 165000 CANADIAN DOLLARS.... though it was the most beautiful tv iøve ever seen...¨
ok, probably last post for awhile. tomorrow is a 5 hr copenhagen city tour before we finally get on the boat YAY! cruise time. time to get fat.
ciao xoxo

pack much?

are 25 pairs of underwear on a 16 day trip too much? i like to be prepared... say my flight coming home is cancelled and i can't get home for 2 days. ... which means i stay in london for an extra couple of days ... oh to dream...

and 4 pairs of shoes are fine. one of them are a pair of runners, those don't count, so really 3 will be in daily rotation. wait, actually i have 5. another pair are evening shoes...

trouble

um... some forewarning, i may come home with a beer belly

packing

is a bitch. don't care what ppl say, lists do not help visualize the wardrobe possibilities!

2 more sleeps until i bring out my inner-but-secretly-heart-euro-trash soul. love euro. will always love it. secretly, but not so secret, wish i was euro.
