Many thanks, Diane. You're welcome, Riff. But I still want to go to Vermont. *sniffle*Ah, well. I'd like to go to the US full stop. Or should I say, period? *manly sniffle*

Ooh, a Riff part! GO you! And thanks again for your read of the article. I'm not displeased with how it turned out, and if it's not their cuppa, I'll try to place it elsewhere. It's rather industrial in subject matter... Got spam today offering to publish my thesis. How rude. Go me! It was a pleasure, Erin. You'll publish it, I'm sure. I used to get those spam emails, but these days, as well as messages trying to sell books about shares and how to win the lottery, I get adverts for all kinds of gentleman's pills and potions. It's quite charming that these perfect strangers are so concerned about my health. ;D

By four hours from now we will be in possession of a new mattress of the super-high-tech-modern-marvel sort; we've been doing research on it for six months and will be paying for it for the next three years.
I hope that when I waken tomorrow I will no longer feel as if someone's been hitting my knees and hips with lead pipes all night. I will report back.
Julia, I already know that I will no longer have to stretch down to reach the floor and risk starting the day with a charlie horse.

I get those too, also all sorts of other "pharmaceutical" spams, spams offering software, and stuff for the elderly. It makes no sense. What I would really like to know, though, is who in the world thinks I'd ever be interested in buying a forklift?

Yay, Riff! Great opener, and great to see you around, man! I'm rereading Soul Music and went to sleep last night after The Librarian rocked out on Bloody Stupid Johnson's great organ, so the reminder that apes are not monkeys was particularly timely. Julia, Death, of course, has just joined the Klatchian Foreign Legion. (will come back and snipity-snip when more awake, in a cup of coffee, half a slice of toast, and (1,2,3,4,5,6,) six pills) Thank you kindly, Julia. Always good to see you, also. Ah, Soul Music, now there's a novel! At the time it came out, I was more into the idea that Death was the lovely goth girl in the Sandman comics. I've grown out of that now, of course. Ahem. You know, for some time I was convinced that Terry Pratchett was actually a pseudonym of Douglass Adams!

That's one highly evolved opener, Riff. Laundry is in progress. I went through all my beads and embellishments (several times ) looking for some vintage silver Czech sew-on nailheads I was sure I had. I couldn't find them (the more I looked, the more they weren't there ), so I ordered some (and a few other things for my class project ) from one of my favorite Etsy shops. I walked up to the shopping center and around it, stopping off at RiteAid for castor oil (mole exorcism), Ralphs and the bank, and the "American" restaurant that has opened where the Argentinian beef place used to be, to check their breakfast menu. Looks promising, I'll probably go there tomorrow morning. I'm already tired. Is it bedtime yet? Thank you, Anne. I selected it all naturally. Enjoy the rest of the day!

I like the fact that they each made/make sly allusions to the others work from time to time; The Lost Continent swipes a bit of bird description from Adams' Last Chance to See. Julia, I also suspect that both of them read a good bit of Gerald Durrell when they were lads.

At least the internet seems to have given up on the idea that I'm interested in industrial injection molding equiptment. Julia, I mean, where would I put it?

Awwww! Thanks for the yummy and heartfelt birthday wishes, Sue and my Better Half! It's been a mixed day thus far, but I did get the entire Farscape series on DVD as a birthday gift. Coupled with your good wishes, it's shaping up to be a very good day indeed. Onj

I keep thinking we should schedule a Farscape rewatch somehow, but dvd players are such annoying things. Julia, still unawake-ish, dammit. (later: awake enough to slay greengrocer's apostrophes, but not much else)

You're welcome, Riff. But I still want to go to Vermont. *sniffle*Ah, well. I'd like to go to the US full stop. Or should I say, period? *manly sniffle* If you make it to Houston you have a place to crash waiting for you. And no, since you had to ask, I don't have it.
