Ours are much more open-minded...cotton, Vellux, or right on the couch, makes no difference to them.

I say you should get even with the little bastards.

Just casually stroll up to them while they're sleeping and puke all over them!

Let them know who's boss!

To interject momentarily with the trivialities of my day, today we walked down to the beach and had first bodybash of the season. The water felt about 24C/75F and there was a small but catchable 1m/3' swell. Bright sun day. After a good while in the waves we came back onshore to dry and tan and play bus-stop and generally ease back into a lazy Sunday. Then the surf lifesavers blew their whistles and called the crowds out of the water and chased up and down the beach on their jetskis and rubber ducks trying to find the shark that had prompted the beach closure. Made for a pleasant eventful afternoon, and not just because of all the half-naked people-watching.

I'm slightly burnt, and the muscles down my back feel the bodybashing efforts, all in a very pleasant summer-has-started kind of way.

Tomorrow, we go look at, and maybe buy, bikes.

Cheers,
Marc

4′33″ is my favorite. I could listen to that all day long.

Is it the silent one? Silence is the best music IMO. Right now I am listening to the rain. And my neighbors

I'm trying to adjust to the fact that my clock says it's now 9:30 am whilst my brain is screaming it's 10:30 am. I SO hate DST changes!

FlorenceArt · 11-07-2010, 09:37 AM

Yuck, I feel for you. We had ours last week, and I'm still not over it.

Trying to figure out how my new oven works. My landlord didn't have the manual for it (it's new to me, not brand-new) and the only manuals I can find for it online are repair manuals, not operating/owner's manuals.

My old oven didn't work very well, but at least it had simple controls. I turned one knob to BAKE and the other to the temperature I wanted. Then I turned the BAKE knob to OFF when I was done. Pretty idiot-proof.

I'm sure the digital stuff is great if you're a serious cook, but all I want to do is heat up a frozen pot pie for lunch.

I pressed random buttons and ended up with lunch. I didn't burn down the building or summon demons, so I must have done something right. I just wish I knew what that was.

Keep trying, I'm sure you'll figure it out

Browsing the TV series on iTune store. It looks like the supply of original version episodes is larger than I thought, but you have to work to find it. When displaying a French version series, a comment helpfully suggests that I enter a search string to find the same series in orginal version, e.g. "House season 7". How nice of them. Of course, a link would have been even nicer

I know - I ate lunch twice -- once when I got hungry, and once when the clock said I should be hungry. Now I'm too full to eat dinner on time.
