So far today has been absolutely lovely. On the drive to work that song LDN by Lilly Allen came on, with the chorus about "the sun is in the sky oh why oh why would I wanna be anywhere else" that has the kicky trumpets behind it. And, even though my feelings for Lilly Allen still stand (Ear. Fork. All of it.) I did enjoy the song. Because hey, the sun was in the sky and it's my birthday. And I think I had a seizure anyway when she said the word "Tesco" so I missed quite a lot of her actual voice--just got to enjoy the fun, kicky trumpet chorus.
(Note: If you choose to watch this video, I will not be held responsible for seizures or forks in the ear.)
Got this meme from Kristen and decided to do it for my birthday.
Today in history, according to Wikipedia:
- 1666 - Great Fire of London ends: A large fire in London burns out after three days. 10,000 buildings including St. Paul's Cathedral were destroyed, but only 16 people are known to have died.
Thank you, Fire, for leaving me some London. I promise I appreciated it.
- 1774 - First Continental Congress assembles in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Thank you, Continental Congress, for giving me the USA. Also much appreciated.
- 1882 - The first United States Labor Day parade is held in New York City.
Thank you, USA, for sometimes giving me a day off work for my birthday. Too bad today couldn't be one of those days, but still.
