It’s good to have family and friends on Thanksgiving….and it’s sad the Brits don’t have a celebration like Thanksgiving…

and in the meantime…the bears said they already ate…

Louie and Andre wanted to check my blog. They wanted to make sure that Mommy was telling their stories right.

And Andre had some Matrix thing going on….

Mark’s mom and cousin checked out our neighborhood last night….love the lights and sounds….Mark’s mom thought it looked like Times Square….

Mark went out with family to the store and found turkeys….we will have turkey for Thanksgiving….

Cheers!

So I forgot to do something at work…I asked Mark to take a tube ride to Chancery Lane with me….

We passed by Carnaby Road…..The lights dazzled me. So we took a little detour to see the Xmas decorations…

I got a kick out of watching this story from the Philippines – they now have a fast food restaurant that serves only spam dishes….yummy. I hope you can have a side order of rice.

Arafat was buried today ….our newsroom carried the videos live fore several stations – from CNN to Sky News.

My producer top-lined me and said I should drop what I was doing in the edit bays…

I ended up in the middle of the newsroom – surrounded by the sounds and images of grieving and chaos in Ramallah. it was incredible.

We went clubbing on Friday night….the Hippedrome…..it was 15 pounds to get in….it was expensive – but at least it had some great music….the Brits don’t really get funky on the dance floor – but then again – some folks in bay area clubs need to stay off the caffeine….

Mark: “I am not your helper monkey….”
Oh but wait…today I am….it’s ok….I’m a willing monkey today. In order to help other producers practice hard-hitting journalism – I had the task of reviewing the nominations for the greatest hits of the past year….for a year-end compilation….

I got to review the very cool and wacky features for the life and leisure section – to sum up it in three words: the wierd, the cute and the gross…

Mark and I both wanted to visit this open air/indoor market and walk in the footsteps of Eliza Doolittle…

Audrey Hepburn was so wonderful in My Fair Lady….It’s a shame that the rest of the entertainment community was so set against her for taking the role. Everyone wanted Julie Andrews to reprise her role as Eliza after her performance on Broadway….according to the bio-books I’ve read, Hepburn worked on her singing voice for several months – but the director decided to bring in a professional and so…she had to Britney-Spears it aka Hepburn had to lip-synch her tunes…

Visited Covent Gardens on Saturday.

On Election Night – I did a shoot at this Premiere…

Ok…no pix with the stars…simply because I was doing the field producing thing…and it just didn’t look professional….but now that I think about it…professional be damned. I should have whipped out my Cannon and snapped some pix of 007….but he was a nice enough guy during my 2 minute interview.

He voted for Kerry.
