Now I'm thinking how easy it would be to slip the brain in my luggage...but no! I can clutch at a pillow. I just like holding things when I sleep.

Not travelling with teddy bear.

I endorse this plan, as I suspect I may be benefiting from it in part.

You are indeed, ita. In fact, all 87 (!!!) tabs that I have open, besides gmail, and b.org are, shall we say, relevant to your interests. I'm trying to get my act together and, idk, bookmark or something. But I'm also trying to organize my entire life on my day off.

Since I'm home, I looked at the naked Tom Hardy photos, and I'd already seen them, because I've done advance research on the topic. I like to send smonster things to look at on the bus in the morning. The first pic is, I believe, from his personal collection of myspace camwhore self-portraits. The second is from a TV movie he did with Bumbley Cumbersnatch. The third is from some other TV movie he did called Colditz.

smonster, I hear you, re: Frankie. I guess it depends on whether your roommate minds taking care of him for that long/how much you think The Cat Herd and/or your mom will bother him. Your dad and your sister will be there, too.

I just love that he has one.

And hey, if those interests include Arthur, Eames, and fic, I have interests, too!

You are added to The List!

I mean, I sleep with a stuffed moose and a stuffed brain, but I don't travel with them.

I travel with Clovis Devilbunny and Prudence. They go in the carry-on luggage (sometimes in Pete's carry-on, if there is a danger of Clovis' ears getting squooshed). And once we're settled in the plane, Clovis comes out and sits with me.

(However, I realize that I am not most people when it comes to this. Really, I do.)

(As I am working from home today, Clovis is sitting on the couch next to me right now.)

I still don't believe you're not making that name up.

Timelies all!

For a Tuesday, it sure felt like a Monday.

I couldn't get my car started this morning. Tried several times, waiting a bit in between. Went to call AAA, and the plastic hinge cover on my phone broke. Phone still works. Guy from AAA got here and was able to start the car. However, the Check Engine light was on, and stayed on, so I brought it to the dealer. There's a part that needs replacing, but they had to order it. It should be in tomorrow, but in the meanwhile I took the Metro and the bus home, and will take the Metro to work tomorrow.

Ugh.

My only warning is that you might find them to be too small -- I usually wear a 7 and these are certainly only a 7.5.

Worth a try! I have another pair of Fluevogs that are a 7.5 and they fit just fine. Thank you! I just emailed you at your profile address to hash out further details.

(Psst, it's really Benedict Cumberbatch.)

For me, it felt kind of like Monday, but in slow-motion.
