Rag Land

Just had something funny happen today and thought you should all know it. I had to take an alternate rout into work today because one of the metro lines was closed due to workers walking off and refusing to drive. Now, here in London this happens for many reasons, from the merely stupid to laughably ludicrous, but, for perhaps the first time, I am glad they walked. The reason they didn't want to drive is that on FIVE different trains yesterday, the emergency brakes gave out. FIVE!!!! They stopped (eventually) and said, umm, how bout us not driving till we have...ummm...brakes? And the higher ups said to not worry about it...you can just coast to a stop (or something like that) and I believe the tube drivers then told them where to stick their crumpets. Ah, London...bombs and no brakes...

Also had coffee with a friend from Pepperdine and got the info on a bunch of my uni friends. Good times...good times... Before coffee, though, I was at a voice over job where I had to do the voices for, in this order, 13 year old American, 40 year old Canadian, 16 year old American, 45 year old gruff American, 25 year old American, 30 year old Canadian, and finally generic narrator voice in Canadian accent. What's that all aboot?! Just thought you should all know I am having an identity crisis...again...why won't the voices stop?!...

Finally, most exciting is that Zhubin will be coming to visit me in the new year which has officially pushed his friend point total over the threshold and he has won the Friend Cup. Let's all congratulate him and try harder next year...Scott...seriously...
