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.

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.

I'm half-convinced my puffy toilet seat is from the dollar store. I kind of like it, though. It makes me laugh.

I am afraid I am a terrible person: I just got an email from a professor that he has a family emergency, so we won't have class tomorrow. I'm just happy not to have class.

Hey, I made excellent stew for dinner. Mmmm.

Do we have anyone registered as Hermione yet?

My apartment came with a rather worse-for-wear, turquoise, puffy toilet seat. I replaced it with a simple $5 one from Target. Someday I might get around to taking care of the leaky faucets since the management always ignores me on that one.
