I just came across an interesting article at Feed about London and the descreasing evidence of its Victorian past. Pretty interesting if you’ve ever been here. No one would ever recognize Waterloo as a Victorian era station anymore… The tube stop is clean, silver, and futuristic, and the interior looks like nothing so much as an airport. I admired it when the new look was unveiled, but I’m starting to see the sadness inherent in “cleaning” up history’s traces.

I completely forgot it was Groundhog Day! Apparently we’re going to have six more weeks of winter. Judging by the weather we’ve been having in London, though, I didn’t need any dang groundhog to tell me that.

I almost forgot to mention that gift-track.com, the site I’ve been working on for the past six months, is finally live! I’m the only HTMLer, so everything you see is my work. (Unless it’s broken, in which case it’s probably the fault of some damn Java developer.)

BlogVoices appears to be having a major meltdown, which could be why my site:

A) took 15 minutes for you to download
B) came up with about 150 javascript errors
C) is currently pissing me off

I am apparently 35% Slut, which is less than the national average. Huh. You learn somethin’ new every day.

Hot rumor from campus: Coach’s is closing! My friend Pat reports that Martin’s and Osco are reportedly buying the property. This sucks! I liked Coach’s! Coach’s and the ‘Backer were my scene. (Yes, I have no shame.) Now even more people are going to have to cram into Club, which will make it suck even more and therefore hated even more by yours truly. The bar scene in South Bend is getting truly pathetic.

As I reported to Dark Horizons, Marilyn Manson is NOT going to be playing Willy Wonka. I have confirmation from the Dahl estate that the script isn’t even finished, and no actors have even been considered for casting yet. Visit this page at my site to keep abreast of all the latest “Charlie” film news.

Somebody in Danville, Kentucky managed to pass off a phony $200 bill with a picture of George Bush on it to an unobservant Dairy Queen cashier. Hilarious. Where can I get me one of these? (On a related note, I think I’ve actually been to Danville, KY at some point in my childhood.)

Apparently my home state, Indiana, is considering finally moving to Daylight Savings Time. This is kinda sad, because the old adage that “Time stands still at Notre Dame” won’t be literally true anymore.
