Ooh, that Annabel is such a cutie patootie.

Susan, she's so lovely and lively.

Cindy, thanks, it was.

Nilly!

I don't know how I missed that post, Nilly. I am glad the weather was so lovely.

I hate being computerless too, for just exactly the situations you describe. I also resent when I am looking for something in big book, and can't just do a word search on the little bit I do remember.

Did you watch any of Wonderfalls when you were here, visiting?

Trudy! Did you get Coca-Cola this Passover, like you like?

I watched all 13 episodes of it when I was in LA, on Allyson's DVDs. Just holding the case at my freind T's place was strange, because those images for me are LA, Allyson's apartment on a jet-lagged evening, on a lazy Sunday morning. Perkins' apartment - falling asleep on her sofa, having organic vegetarian kosher ham on her carpet, squeezing the last episode right before the trip to SF. The show is so connected to the experiences and the people of the first week of the USA trip. I feel the way I did when, while walking on the streets of Boston and seeing some second-hand books, I've encountered a couple of familiar ones in Hebrew. Worlds colliding. But I'm really looking forward to watching the show, one episode at a time (I'm really slow at my tv watching, I need some "air" between each episode. T, of course, wants to kill me for it).

Belated wave to Nilly... (or not so belated. Hi, Nilly!)

Happy Birthday, Eddie!

Hil, I'm glad you finally got confirmation. Very exciting.

And now I'm off to see Hitchhiker. Hoping for the Serenity trailer; we'll see.

Oh, and Jesse, that's so fun. How was the play?

Nilly, I haven't had any sugar this year and have lost a bit of weight doing so. Next year I'll have passover coca-cola to my heart's content.

It's so good to "see" you!

Fred Pete, Greg says thank you and I say thank you.

Nilly, so lovely to see you. It sounds like your Passover was wonderful.

Hey, Jen! I forgot the UnUnAmericans are already getting HHGttG. Now I'm jealous.

Go you!

Aww, Cutiebel!

What gift does a person who's just given birth want? She's my first friend to have a baby and thus I have no experience of this sort of thing. Any and all suggestions are very welcome as I don't want to look like a complete asshole when I visit.

Other than sushi? Umm. Hmm. Well, my in-laws brought me a sitz bath package (a bunch of herbs to be used for a sitz bath), and I know there are plenty of things like that out there designed to soothe those stinging, aching areas of the body.

For the record, one person brought me chocolate, and no one brought me flowers. Mostly, people brought stuff for the baby if they brought anything at all, and I will admit to feeling *slightly* like chopped liver, so I'd say something for her, especially something slightly indulgent and nice like a swank lotion or a pretty-but-roomy top.
