Hm. I have an electric heater, if only Lori were available to tell me where she put it after she moved it last week.

Publicly we shall refer to this as Yay Thorlo Socks!
I bought Thorlo socks today!
I bought some by accident two weeks ago, just grabbing some on my way to the checkout counter. Had major sticker shock when I bought them but was in a hurry so just figured I'd try them. Soooo nice.

Hey ita, I just saw on the news this guy who owns a store in socal kicked the shit out of a guy who tried to hold him up. He had a black belt in six different martial arts.
When I was a kid, there an attempted holdup in Mike Stone's Dojon. (Mike Stone was then world lightweight Karate Champion.) Would be hold-up artist apparently did not notice what kind of business he was entering, burst in the door shouting "This is a holdup", only to confront Mike Stone backed by eighteen of us. Would be hold-up artist blurted out "I ain't scared of you" and turned around and ran for his life.

OK, I'm having the weirdest cramps ever. I should have known. Today someone shared with me some of that target choxie chocolate. With chilies and cinnamon. And I liked it. More a surprise for the chocolate than anything else.
Huh. I just turned on the tv. NBC does these dorky DVD spotlights. What was this weeks? Serenity.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I remember a story a few years back ... let me google...bad day for the carjacker. Tangentially, I was told one of those people was also a kravver, which makes me like the story even more.

I think I want Thorlo socks. I haven't even googled them yet, but am easily led. [eta: Wow. Now been to the site and that's just evil, plus amusingly broken in Opera]
Just called sister of a girl I knew in prep school because my mother gave her stuff to bring for me. She wasn't expecting my call, so I blew her mind.
I'm trying to put myself in her shoes, and I think my head would be spinning a little bit. Funny though--I'm always surprised when people who weren't in my year remember my name. She did seem to know who I was.

Just browse through the different thickness and warmth options before you decide which style. Your comfy warm feet will thank me.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
There was a story a while back in my hometown's paper about a guy who tried to rob the beauty school and got the shit beat out of him by women (and one guy) with brushes and hair dryers.
