OK, xbox just had an ad. And I'm sitting away from the tv, so the sound isn't great. But the music reminded me of the stereotype of french cafe music (you know, with accordians) and the visuals were a crazy urban water fight.

Given all the rioting in Paris right now, bad thoughts.

5 or so, sarameg.

Hah. So barely efficient. Now I get why my parents' contractor offered slyly to "get a pot from Mexico" when they had to replace the toilet. Which is a funny story itself.

Mom flushed a thing of deoderant down it by accident. When they tried to pull the toilet out to pull out the deo, they cracked the basin. Most expensive $3 flushing ever.

Yeah. A good 1.6 is a thing of beauty (our American Standard flushes like a dream), but a bad one manages to miss the whole point of the pot through sheer ineffectiveness.

It's dueling Watch-and-Posts when I hit Read New.

So I see.

Given the mgmt at this place, I'm pretty sure I have the equivalent of a toilet from the dollar store. I'm surprised it isn't plastic.

BTW, more Lily pictures. And that goes for Stephanie too. Those girlchildrens' expressions kill me. I had to share Mal's calvin picture with a few friends . That was just.... I laugh every time I see it.

From the W&Ps it's difficult to choose between watching VM and Lost tonight.

I'm resisting reading the VM W&P until after I see the episode. Unfortunately that may not happen until I download it, or until the Saturday rerun. The storm has left me with one connection to the satellite dish until someone climbs on the roof and fixes it. I had to pick one and Lost won. It was quite a good watch.

hey, Hec, did you get an email from me this morning? I'm not sure I was using the right/best address.
