Love at First Site

Amanda is the lead archaeologist for the recent Roman burial site discovered in Richmond. What with being the lead and the hectic lifestyle that brings, Amanda doesn't have much of a romantic life outside of work.

Whilst working alone and late at the burial site one evening, Amanda encounters Caecilius, a Roman civilian who has somehow managed to transport himself to the modern day world. Caecilius is very much a fish out of water, and it's up to Amanda to show him the correct ways of the modern world.

Soon Amanda and Caeciilius fall for each other, learning of each others way and despite their differencds in opinion. It was destined for sure....it was love at first site.

Once upon a time...

Once upon a time, there was a young British man named Bob. On a somewhat regular basis, Bob would write blog entries and potential ideas for TV shows based on his life experiences. Until one day, Bob moved to Ameirca, getting a full time job and generally becoming more of a grown up. And because of his new life across the pond, Bob stopped writing on his blog because he was getting busy and tired much more easily. Soon Bob was feeling frustrated that he didn't have a imaginative writing outlet and got slightly depressed. Until finally, Bob remembered that writing was a good thing and that he could use it as an outlet for all his frustrations in life. And from that day onwards, Bob decided to write on his old blog more frequently.

I found out this weekend that the popular UK retail store T.K. Maxx, is known as T.J. Maxx in the States (a "reliable" source). This caused a bit of confusion amongst my friends who thought for a moment that I was dyslexic. If only it was that simple at times...

United States of Namerica: A Seattle Gem

I found the following gem of a cinema over the weekend.

And which film did I go watch?

"Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

United States of Namerica: The Entertaining Monkey

At first none of the Seattleites picked up on it; I blame the diversity that Amazon, Microsoft, Boeing et al have introduced into the area. But recently, people have started commenting and even complimenting on it, professing their love of it and how they could listen to it all day. 

But what is this mystical phenomena I speak of? Why it is my British accent. Apparently I'm going to be a hit with the ladies but I've had no luck so far. Men on the other hand....
