I know noone around here is very into this topic, but OMFG! I just can’t believe this. It’s really… just surreal. This is an area where I have spent much time. It’s crazy!

London Tube Blasts
This coverage from London is really freaking me out, since it’s the area of London I know best. For most of the 10 years my ex and I were together, his mother lived off Brick Lane. We always used either Aldgate East or Liverpool Street Station to go to his mom’s house, which is where we always stayed. The walk to either station was about 5 minutes. Luckily, none of his family live in that area now, but to see reports from across the world in a place I know so well from years of visiting… It’s really strange. I’ve spoken with his family in London, and they are all safe, but these are not minor blasts. The death toll is 40 right now, but you know how these numbers tend to rise.
Here’s the area. The red arrow is where she lived, and the red blur connects the two stations between which the train was traveling when the blast occurred. There were other bombs, but this is the one that I’m talking about:
Here is the BBC News story describing that and the other tube blasts, and here is a link to the main page of stories.
Jeebus. Can’t we all just get along?

Brick Lane!
AHA! I think I’ve cracked it!
Dianne’s response asking about whether Brooke Shields went to Princeton (yes, she did) prompted me to look up Tom’s bio. Check THIS out:
After graduating, Cruise had no desire to go to college. Instead, he moved to New York and supported himself by doing odd jobs–including busing tables and loading trucks–while attending open calls for stage and film roles. His first part was a small one, a few lines in the movie "Endless Love," starring Brooke Shields and Martin Hewitt. (found here)
Methinks SOMEONE is trying to overcompensate for a little childhood jealousy. I’m just saying.
And I apologize for my inability to stop posting about this stupid topic. Please be tolerant. I am under great stress!
