I took this pic of a TV screen in Paris, France recently.  As you may have noted in my last blog entry, while in Paris I turned on the TV in my hotel room to get a dose of French entertainment (or just tickle myself by listening to a bunch of French words), and was pleasantly surprised to find the station running a Valentine's Day marathon of...  The Simpsons.  I'm not sure what The Simpsons has to do with Valentine's Day, but who cares?  All that mattered at the time was that in the ad breaks the TV station had produced interstitial programming of a live-action Homer and Marge doing skits on a recreation of the Simpson living room (see above).

I suppose English subtitles would have come in handy, but really it didn't matter.  The whole thing was rather surreal.  I was confused as to why live-action Homer took off his head.  Perhaps he was jealous that live-action Marge didn't have to wear a giant fake head too, so he rebelled once the cameras were rolling.  I guess we'll never know...

I know it's mid-week, but I took this shot of the Hammersmith Bridge in West London during a beautiful snowfall and really wanted to post it...

cheers!

Last night the Cardinals suffered a rather sad defeat in Superbowl XLlll - which my husband and I watched from England, staying up until after 3am on a "school night" to see.  Meanwhile, over the city of London, the sky was coating us with beautiful, fluffy snow.  This photo of our deck was taken around 3:00am today.  I'm pleased to report that now, at 8:11am, all of London's buses are suspended, almost all tube lines are suspended and the news says that this is the most snow London's seen in 18 years.
Take that, global warming!
