Ugh, Julie. Sorry to hear about the stomach troubles.
Things I Have Discovered I Cannot Do: Pantomime a collect call to someone who does not speak English.
I'm at a loss as to how to mime it to an English-speaker, so you're one ahead of me.
What? I'm not allowed to hit people? Wesley: Not people capable of genocide. Angel: Those are exactly the types of people I should be allowed to hit!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

Wait till you find out she was calling Timbuktu during peak hours.

You did a good thing, meara. She'll remember you kindly.
So it is pouring rain and all my drainspouts are draining.

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.
* Not that I was gonna.

...and now on FB my aunt is bemoaning that I don't live near her because she'd love to hook me up with some guy.
I'm tempted to write a book titled Overweight and Unmarried: One Woman's Story of How Her Family Drove Her Off the Internets.

In less whiny news, I managed to score a pair of earrings because Steph mentioned that she'd managed to score a pendant from the seller: [link]

Oooh, pretty!
I've rarely bought my own jewelry. Mom and dad have me figured out and pretty much everything is from them and I love it. I've got a coworker who has similar taste and loves my earrings. I've promised to bring something for her from Nepal and Bhutan. Which means I need to convince my parents to pick stuff out for me that isn't for me.
