The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Speaking of preparedness FAIL, I just ran out of dairy product for my coffee.

Us too! I am about to make a milk run. Can I pick up some half and half for you?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

A search on "pickpocket" at the Old Bailey site turned up many interesting cases. Here's one.

Theft > pocketpicking, 1st June 1677.

The next was a pickpocket who on the 2. of May seeing a young maiden dancing with the Milkwoman made shift to steal a box and 21 shillings 6. pence in money out of her Pocket, and according to method, forthwith delivered it to a boy his Confederate, who immediately ran away and is not yet taken. But our young practitioner was not so much Mr. of Art as to perform the Exploit clerely, for he was both perceived by the Girl, diving in her pocket and seen by another deliver away the prize, so that he was found Guilty.

"Not so much master of art..." - heh.

So far hurricaine season has only given us come cool waves and a little rain. It's a relief.

Do not taunt happy fun weather.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Do not taunt happy fun weather.

Heh. Well, it peaks on the 10th so less than a week to go. I know stuff can still go down after that but with any luck R and I will not be riding out a storm while she's in my care.

Fiona was swallowed up by Earl. Gaston seems to be just a wave now... fingers crossed.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

So far, a successful pace run (despite vicious heat, i.e., 75 degree temps) and much playing around with my new GPS watch/program. Now to pick up the house for a friend's visit and then brunch and gay BEACH!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Right. Picking up the house. Should totally get on that. But there's this tennis thing on TV....

And, damn, I really need to get another bookshelf and also get rid of/digitise my video tapes. I don't have a VCR anymore, and I really need that space for my DVDs which are lying all over the place.

What are reasonable prices for VHS->DVD transfers? I have a lot of hand-recorded capoeira that I really don't want to toss.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

ita, it'd probably be cheaper for you to buy a VHS/DVD recorder and then unload it on CL when you're done than to pay someone to transfer them. Those places will rip you off.

I just spent an ungodly amount at Sears, but in three weeks I will have a kickass new stove & fridge. Let's hope my current units last out the month.
