Home at last

[nonelvis]

I just got back from England a few hours ago and have oh so much to post tomorrow -- many photos, and a full report on Hamlet and Love's Labour's Lost, not to mention a general trip entry or two. Plus I've been mostly away from the flist and the rest of the internet for a week, so if I've missed any particularly interesting news or fic, let me know.

Short version of the trip, if you want to skip all my entries tomorrow:

• London was fabulous. I hadn't been there in 25 years, and we saw all kinds of things that hadn't been there the last time. (The Eye! The Tate Modern! The Doctor Who exhibit at Earl's Court, because we are geeks!)
  
• Stratford-Upon-Avon is a lovely little town, and the plays were everything I hoped they'd be. (Well, except that there weren't any nude scenes.) I did not actually leap over the balcony rail to jump on DT, although there were moments in LLL during which he undid his shirt where I seriously contemplated it.
  
• Brought home nearly half a kilo of mint Aero balls. They are spherically shaped crack. Why can't we get these in the States? WHY?
  

Anyway, my body thinks it's 1:30am, but I'm going to stay up to watch Heroes anyway and go to bed afterwards in the hopes of readjusting to EDT. If you see any especially incoherent posts or comments from me during the next hour and a half, that's why.

Ah...mint Aero...

You can buy mint Aero bars here in New York at a British specialty store near me (http://myersofkeswick.com/), but I don't think I've ever seen Aero balls.

I can actually get mint Aero bars at at couple of local supermarkets, but I hadn't seen the balls before. They tasted so fresh, which I suppose is not all that surprising, given that they hadn't had to travel thousands of miles to get to me.

Other candy this country seriously needs: Cadbury Creme Egg bars.

::eyes roll back in head::

I might want this more than the report on the plays.

I think it was probably for the best that I only bought one Creme Egg bar. I could have eaten a whole box of 'em.

Creme egg bars?!? That's all I need...;{)}

Welcome home!

Welcome back! I am eagerly awaiting your reports of all things confectionary and Tennanty (in that order).

Welcome back!! OMG mint Aero balls. I wonder how those product development meetings go...
Manager: We're seeing a dip in mint Aero sales. What can we do to make it fun and fresh again?
Intern Nigel: I love mint Aero. I love balls. Make mint Aero balls.
Manager: Dammit Nigel, that's genius!

Who doesn't love mint Aeros and balls?

There had better be!

The Doctor Who exhibit at Earl's Court, because we are geeks!

You, madam, have your priorities in the correct order.

Can't wait to read your entries; I need to get mine written up STAT! ;)

ETA: Also, didn't realize that Nina Sosanya is in LLL, her 3rd collaboration with DT. Lucky girl!!

She is just as gorgeous in person as she is onscreen, and as usual, she and DT were totally cute together.
