Me, I was born at 18°. I should be darker. But I am, when I'm there. I grew up there and at 51°. Mah peeps harken from about 55° and 10°, so it all averages out.

Well, at least now I'll have something to throw up that didn't cost me much.

Things I Have Discovered I Cannot Do: Pantomime a collect call to someone who does not speak English.
Things I Can Do: Give up and just use my cellphone to call the people she's trying to reach and let her make the call that way.

Ugh, Julie. Sorry to hear about the stomach troubles.

I'm at a loss as to how to mime it to an English-speaker, so you're one ahead of me.

Heh. Well, it helps when you're standing in front of a payphone with a woman who has grabbed you pleading "you help? you help?" and a fistful of change and a phone number. Unfortunately, it was a long-distance number, and while I tried to figure out if whoever it was (her mother, I think? Or maybe she was the mother, and the person was her child? Who knows?) would take a collect call from her, finally I just gave up, and called--I've got plenty of minutes.

I find that Love Actually loses quite a bit of its obscene charm when edited for basic cable.
ETA: Of course, the scenes with Liam Neeson are even more heartbreaking now.

OK, cannot get miniblinds for the french doors.* Loki just pulled down the broken one on himself trying to get out. I had gone out front to make sure that the drain extender was working and so he had a session with the screen door which =LOKI WANT OUTSIDE CRAZY.
He's even trying the basement door now.
