Happy Fourth of July everyone! This year I've decided to celebrate my Independence Day in the least patriotic way possible... by spending in Russia.
Not only does no one here know that it's a holiday, but they are too busy in Skyrim to even acknowledge that America exists. No worries though, today during a break from picking berries I finally got the chance to watch a show I've been dying to see, Doctor Who.

There she burns, the great fire of American patriotism.

Me and my Brit, Jemma, throwing up our peace signs to show that America and England have rightfully forgiven each other.

Even big celebs like Eminem and Dr. Dre fight sometimes.
Burning trash and causing catastrophic damage to the ozone layer is about as patriotic as it gets. Ah, Gotta love when cats fulfill stereotypes.
