London Calling...

I will spare you all the 170-MB video capture of me feeding her treats but it is the cutest thing I have ever seen. I followed her around the house like a stalker, but she didn't seem to mind--too much. The weekend was filled with relaxing, getting my nails done, several trips to Target and HEB, and of course lots of Tex-Mex and Blue Bell ice cream! I even had time to throw in a trip to Fox and Hound with Sarah, Cameron, Matt and Kirsti who (thank you!!) came down from Austin. Sarah, you and Spam can thank me later for not using the picture that I *really* wanted to use. :-)

So it was back to London on Monday, and back to work on Tuesday. Hoping for a quiet week it was anything but. After an annoying and upsetting end of the workday on Tuesday, I went out to watch the football on Tuesday with Alberto and one of his friends from "uni", and then we went to a bar which was comprised of modernized prison cells. We were actually drinking wine in a prison cell! There was even a prison toilet in there (before you ask, no, I didn't use it...). Thankfully they didn't lock us in. And then I learned there actually casinos in the middle of London! Don't ask... Thursday saw another night out with the Variety guys. I brought Chloe, who works for me, along to meet Tommaso and Alberto at the Soho Hotel to have drinks and check out the room where we may have a joint Universal/Variety Miami Vice party.

LONDON (AFP) - The fate of the bright-eyed and bushy-tailed pitch invader which stunned fans Highbury stadium by bringing a Champions League semi-final to a standstill is shrouded in mystery.

The grey squirrel stormed onto the Highbury pitch and treated fans to a 15-minute cameo during Wednesday's first leg match between Arsenal and Spanish side Villarreal, finishing its star turn by leaping into the crowd. But Arsenal apparently have no idea what happened next to the plucky rodent.

Internet chatrooms were buzzing with post-match debate on where the mystery squirrel came from, what to call it and what became of the pitch invader, which caused referee Konrad Plautz to halt the game. An Arsenal spokesman declined to comment on the squirrel's whereabouts, but it is understood that officials have no idea about what happened to it after it sprung over the hoardings and into the North Bank stand. Fans chanted songs to cheer on the squirrel ("there's only one squirrel...one squirrel.."), which jumped out from the West Stand and dashed around unhindered before switching flanks, where players tried to tackle the fleet-footed newcomer.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger was impressed with the squirrel's performance. "He was quite fast -- and dribbling," the Frenchman said.
