The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I have to get dressed and go to work again, don't I?
This just never ends well.

I am imaginarying myself having a curry and discussing the French Open with a bad British accent right now, AIFG!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
This morning I was imaginary in Paris with Jack Reacher, so it's really just a hop, skip, and a jump away!

We shall stroll around the British Museum and make admiring comments about the Elgin marbles, while decrying the overwhelming colonialism that led the British to pillage them, but still admiring them, because really, they are smashing.
Then we'll fight the crowds to view the Rosetta stone.

The last two times I saw the Rosetta Stone (okay, the only two times), the crowds weren't so bad. Once there was a cute group of schoolkids pointing and exclaiming, but they were short, so I had no problem seeing.

I first saw it in...1995 or 6, I think. It wasn't so bad then. The past couple of times, it's been mob city.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
We must indeed organize a London F2F to watch Ewan and Chiwetal's Othello.
Also, where is Terrence Mann to be seen dancing in tight pants? Because I must see this.
Also also, Matt, having now seen you in person (yay!), the scruffy is so working.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Woman on oxygen dies after power cut off
WELLINGTON, New Zealand - A 44-year-old woman who needed an electric oxygen pump to breathe died after an energy company cut the power to her home because of an unpaid bill, her family claimed Wednesday.
Police said they had launched an investigation into Folole Muliaga’s death, which happened within two hours of state-owned company Mercury Energy cutting power to her house Tuesday.
...
A Mercury Energy representative arrived on Tuesday at her home in the northern city of Auckland to disconnect the electricity, said Brenden Sheehan, Muliaga’s nephew-in-law.
Sheehan said both Muliaga and her son told the technician she was dependent on the oxygen machine to stay alive and invited him into the house to see it. “Then he cut the power off,” Sheehan told The Associated Press.
Muliaga began having difficulty breathing, became faint and then collapsed, he said. Paramedics were unable to revive her, and she was pronounced dead within two hours of the power being cut.
