Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

F2F5: I forget that everyone isn't us

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I've seen Kindles at Staples for prices pretty close to Amazon's. A Thermos you can find in most larger discount-y type stores: Target, Walmart, etc.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

You can get a Thermos at most supermarkets, too.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm sorry, I can't think anything other than "I'm picking out a thermos for you /No ordinary thermos will do" now. Productivity for the rest of the day=gone.

I had lunch with Shir and now she's off to see aurelia.

Over lunch we figured out that there's a National Theatre Live of King Lear this Sunday at 11:30am: [link]

Does anyone want to join us?

Are there plans for the evening, or tomorrow? I have to squeeze in a bunch of work but will join whatever I can.

We have no cruise director making plans as far as I know.

We really should get one of those.

My plane to Chicago tonight is going to be at least half an hour late. ::sigh::

What's the best venue for everyone to get together tomorrow?

Shir isn't familiar with Chicago, and I think she was hoping people would chime in with things they'd like to do, like the Art Institute or a boat tour etc.

Do we want to do The Chicago Diner tomorrow?
