Ha! I just filled out my Boston census info. It asked for number of dogs in the household. Toto is getting counted!

Nora, I enjoyed your beer story enormously! And am unreasonably amused by the prospect of Teppy's beer snob thug sibling. 'Cuz that would be funny.

Teppy's boss, however - not so much with the funny. (Although it did send a little spasm of guilt through me; I never ever tell my kids they are stupid, but I have been known to say things like "I think you're too intelligent to do something like that" or, you know "See, that was a stupid thing to do. YOU aren't stupid, but that thing you just did? That was stupid. Please don't do that." [Generally this would be about behavioural stuff, not academic stuff. Er. the latter, at any rate.])

...which isn't the same thing, I realise, but - moment of guilt. However, back to the matter at hand - no freaking sticker for Teppy's boss, with the marked lack of people skillz.

t geekly glee

So Death Note, the manga that I have just been mainlining and for which I am currently all filled with fannish love? And the live action movies of which I tried to buy a few days ago from a PROPER shop, for quite a lot of baht, only to be told that they were in Japanese with Thai subtitles? This evening I have purchased the first of the 2 live action movies for very few baht (with English subtitles), and all 11 disks of the anime for a total of maybe 12 pounds.

I may even resort to emoticons, such is my level of fannish joy right now

t / geekly glee

(Dear God, please let all of these disks feature either English subtitles or English dubbing. My Thai sucks. Hell, my Japanese is better than my Thai, and I don't speak any Japanese. Thank you. Also, could you send the Empress a camel? Cheers. Love, Fay.)

NB - I have also purchased Moonlight, or whatever it's called. Because, you know - hot boys mincing around being all vampy. I'm braced for crap, but I figure - hot boys being vampy. I can spend a few quid on that. ALSO I have found a stall that has Avatar, of which I have heard much from P-C and other people. I'm thinking that will be my next purchase...

...yeah, okay, that glee tag? Not closing properly, apparently.

bounds off to DVD, beaming, anticipating not so much in the way of sleep this evening...

I need to go to Vermont and go out drinking with Teppy's bro...

Yay! Together you could fight crime! Beer crime!

(My contribution to such an endeavour would perhaps be along the lines of muttering "Beer bad," whilst looking sheepish. So I should probably stay home rather than going to Vermont, and just watch all my DVDs! Yay!)

I think it's more likely that they'd end up *committing* crime, particularly if there was another McChouffe Incident.

Man, that sounds like some good old fashioned Vermont fun.

I'm going to have to tell him about you getting shafted on the McChouffe, just to hear his response. I can predict it: "See, if that had happened to me, I would have had to get violent, and I'm already banned from enough bars; I don't need to get banned from another."

Unrelated to anything, I'd like to announce that I am wearing stockings (contrary to Coupling's stocking-related opinions), AIFG! Er, except for the creeping down my thighs part. That's a little uncomfortable.

Er, except for the creeping down my thighs part. That's a little uncomfortable.

everytime I've worn stockings, they haven't been on long enough for that to happen ;) OTOH, I can't wear them with business skirts because my legs are so long that the edge of the stocking shows through the kick pleat.

ALSO I have found a stall that has Avatar, of which I have heard much from P-C and other people. I'm thinking that will be my next purchase...

Whee!

I have the Death Note manga on my computer waiting to be read.
