Wax On, Wax Off

so it's thanksgiving. the first one i've had away from home. that's okay though, because i discovered that the maple leaf pub in covent garden does thanksgiving dinner, complete with turkey, stuffing, potatoes, veggies, and pumpkin pie. essentially, the whole nine yards.

so i'm quite excited for that in a few hours. i've been eating tiny tiny amounts all day so that i am sure to have room for the upcoming feast.

this past weekend, helen and i went to madam tussaud's wax museum here in london up on baker street. i discovered in my time there that i only felt normal height beside james dean, einstein, chaplin, and child-mozart. otherwise i just felt quite short. oscar wilde and the princes dwarfed me! anyways, here are some photos from that....

spider-man, spider-man.....

it's SHREK!

and he's enormous

i'm so short. prince william is so tall. dreamy.....?

the author of the picture of dorian gray - oscar wilde. a literary hero of mine.

William Shakespeare!!!!!

Helen with Vincent Van Gogh

Another hero, but non-literary, Sir Isaac Newton!!! and his prism.

Another hero but of the musical persuasion - Freddie Mercury!!! good lord i'm short.

EINSTEIN! he's short! i feel better now.

Ok, i got really excited because i'd read about this guy in the bathroom reader i had at dad's over and over (because there was only one reader in our possession) - Vlad the Impaler. the father of the original dracula. cool, non?

I felt like i had to.

Despite many people seeming to think this is hitler, this is actually charlie chaplin.

SO, this is not in the wax museum, but it was outside the cinema where helen and i went to see zombieland. This is a plaque that when you're facing it to read it, indicates the direction of canada/ottawa as well as how far it is. i forget how far it said, shoulda taken a picture of it closer up. but i at least know where it is now!

Well, i'm off to get clean and ready for turkey time! :)
