If I'm drinking Vodka in the first place, I usually pair it with Irn Bru. I haven't had vodka since I've been in Canada, I've been drinking rum mostly. I should probably start drinking more Beer, but you can't buy beer or liquor in the supermarkets, and you can't buy beer or liquor in the same store. It's totally stupid.

Brisin, I e-mailed you stuff; if you want a list of beers to try (apart from the obvious local microbrewery stuff wherever you are), give me a shout.

Rio, I found a Tesco that sells Irn Bru cheaper around here. And I'll bring you back to Scotland because it's a mission and having missions is fun, and you're cute and lovely and I want to cuddle you.

Oh, also, Brisin is lovely and interesting and has brought me to take some time in the near future to reevaluate my (lack of a) relationship with a large branch of my family.
And he has amazing eyes! And is cuddly. Awesomely cuddly.

Awww, thank you! Thank you too, Mazra! =]
Im going to Oxford today. Hope I have a good time there. Cya later, buddies.

Okay, this was weird.

I found out earlier today that they messed up my direct train line to work, which wouldn't be an issue getting there in the afternoon, but getting back home, late tonight, would require an additional hour of transportation. So, unable to cope with having to spend close to four hours of transportation for a five-hour work shift, I decided to call in sick.

Only to find out that someone hadn't registered me for today's shift.

Good thing I decided to call them, or I would've gone there only to find that I had to go back home.

Made me feel less guilty about calling in sick, too!

Magpies are awesome.

The Western half of the states have them, apparently, primarily in California. But none anywhere else in North/South America (according to wikipedia, at least).

this, pretty much.
I mean, we have a bunch of really cool birds in brasil and everything, but, you know, its a new bird for me. And I love new stuff. Went to Oxford today, spent like 8 hours there.
Took 300 pictures, went inside everywhere, even the Town Hall (they were having some sort of a reunion or something and they threw me out).
I almost got beaten by 2 or 3 college students, because I was just going inside everywhere and taking pictures and stuff, and there was this college that was actually closed and I still went inside to take pictures, and some students were trying to kick me out and just started to run towards me, and I just pretty much ran away.
So, I ended up getting lost and ended up in a pub called The HoneyPot. Took a HobGoblin there and talked to a Chinese, a Welsh, a Scotish and a Irish. Pretty much like that joke 'a scottish, a welsh, an irish and a chinese go to a pub and...' ahaha. Had really a great time.
Actually met the pub where Tolkien used to go, got a pretty good meal there. Salmon with crisp crunch and some potatoes and vegetables. Was really good! And took a local beer, forgot the name though.

Anyway, really great, amazing day. The architechture...amazing! My brother would have loved, because he's an architecht back in brazil, so...

Oh, almost forgot. Kali, thanks again for everything. Your friend just texted me, and I texted back, but I think its quite late right now, so Im just texting her again tomorrow. Thanks for the arrangment, really.

Well, the accents were pretty diferent, but I could understand quite well. They actually kept saying my english was pretty good. I think they were amazed that a brazilian could speak in english, for some reason.
About the shop, yeah, I saw it, but it was already closed when I got there. So I just took a picture from the outside, unfortunatelly.

What's sad is that Americans aren't generally impressed, and so few people that were born here speak more than 1. It irks the hell out of me...

I haven't actually been to the Natural History Museum; always wanted to go, though. You should go to Hyde Park and/or Kensington Gardens if you have time still!

You can rest your legs on the train! :D
