Early ,'Objects In Space'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I have coinage from all my travels and a few bills stashed next to my US change. Including a fair chunk of Canadian money I never remember to take to Canada. When I was little I'd raid my father's pockets when he came back from abroad. I had the largest collection.
I have now learnt that vinaigrette stings like tomatoes. Worse than pepper. Whyever am I suddenly so acid-sensitive? Also, why am I eating salad?
ita - I thought of someone else for your sites, but now I can't remember. I thought it might be Patrick Wilson, but it's not him - he doesn't ping me the way whoever it is does. BAH stupid old brain.
The urge will come back to you, msbelle, and I will be ready and grateful.
They just showed Usain Bolt's face on Lie To Me. Kewl beanz.
PC, keep the franc. Start a collection. This one's a freebie. I mean, free from plane fare.
It feels unearned. I've never been to France! But I am definitely keeping it.
I have a handful of foreign coin, some now worthless with the euro. But how do I love the mountains and castles and fertility goddesses and water buffalos and dzongs and kremlin and and and pictured therein? Lots. I still have USSR rubles and fucking kopeks! From the month before it all fell apart!
Save it for your visit to France and spend it then. Actually, I don't know about the Euro stuff.
I have at least one coin from every country I've been to, except maybe Luxembourg. And some I haven't.
I have made it safely to Indianapolis. They do not have different money here but I am still glad to be here. Last stretch was not as awesome as the rest, but still ok. Due to an amusing mix up I am not now on my way to my brother in law`s house but instead at a swanky hotel. Which, money ouch, but it is very nice and I am very tired.
Awesome news about the shingles meds, congrats.
Java! That's wonderful news--congrats!
Thanks Pix and sarameg and cashmere and whoever else responded. I am very excited. I was so excited that I completely forgot that I had plans to see Mary Karr speak tonight; got there on time anyway and found her to be extremely funny and entertaining. She reminds me of a less neurotic Carrie Fisher.
I have a lot of coins from all over, too. Sometimes I think it's charming, and sometimes I just thing "ack, more clutter!"
Speaking of clutter, megan walker will be glad to know that I took SEVEN bags to Goodwill today.
