Daniel, new to US ep. Also, it's been a year already since your big trip? Wow.

I'm trying to learn to knit. It was going ok, until my cat decided to chew through the yarn. It's harder than it looks.

I took a very long nap today, and now I'm awake when I should be sleeping. Hopefully the sleepy will kick in again soon. I need more/enough recuperative sleep.

Daniel, new to US ep.

Ah. That being the episode with the hole in the head.

It wasn't one of the better of the new series. I would say that the rest of the season is boffo, tho.

Also, it's been a year already since your big trip? Wow.

Well, the first big trip. The second came in June when I bought a minivan and went to move her up here from Arizona...

Hmm. Maybe I wasn't reading Bitches then. I certainly remember the June one, which will be coming up soon for you!

You know how crank calls can be really annoying? When they are Em, they are the funniest thing ever. I wonder if the Empress knows that her heir has mastered the phone?

Oh, too funny.

She answered it yesterday when Kristin called, said "Hello? Hello?" and then hung up.

It was hysterical! And then the phone was off the hook, so I couldn't get through. I finally called Aimee's cell.

I just got this birth announcement from a friend, who really should be a Buffista.

Once in a generation, a chosen child is born into the world. Possessing a mein both noble and captivating, this child bewitches all that look upon him. Two camps battle for the the child's very soul, a battle as old as time. Legends surround them and their actions reshape the world: Alexander the Great, Charlemagne, Hitler, John Tesh, all have left their footprints on this planet for good or evil.

Happy Birthday, Betsy!

I am watching this week's Dr Who. It's my second episode, and I'm thinking it's not really for me. But I'm giving it a shot. The Doctor's voice reminds me so much of my friend who lives in Salford, it's eerie.

d, definitely not the best in the series. I'm over the moon for it, though. Christopher Eccelston rocks my world.

Day's report. Bec is now married. She looks very happy (there were pics). She wore a turquoisey dress, which looked very nice, but she got the makeup job from hell. She'd gone in for eyelash tinting, her regular wasn't there, the replacement let it run and stain her face. Then she rubbed Bec's face raw trying to get it off. She got married looking like the groom had backhanded her or something. (Of course, being Bec, this is falling into the 'look back and laugh' category, but I think she was pretty pissed off at the time.)

I got her the Roomba for a wedding pressie. It was well received, and it seems to be something of a hit with the dogs too.

I went over to Wallybee's for lunch today, met a couple of her friends. Well, one wasn't a friend per se, he started hanging around the Wallybee after he discovered she had a useful social contact. Then I introduced her to the joy of Google image searching, and thereby to the joy of puffins! (She checked out her dictionary, and discovered that the Chinese characters for 'puffin' mean 'big-beaked sea swallow'.) Naturally, hilarity ensued.

All in all, a good day!

She's just the luckiest girl, that Wallybeee.

I love getting the Wallybee reports. I need some schmoop in my life, even if it is vicarious.

Poor Bec! I hope they didn't charge her for that or comped her in some way. As for pictures, photoshop!

I think it has worked out well.

Yeah, it's a good thing, too. Cuz I really don't want to have to have a custody battle over my cats, when I suspect Harvey would tell the judge he wants to stay with you, and then Sammie would say she wants to stay with Harvey.
