If billytea is around (or anyone else who might know the answer): My DH is off to Beijing in a few days, and I would like to know if the electrical adapter he needs is the same one we use for New Zealand?
Sorry I missed this last night. Yes, it's the same adapter.
But I really like Neil Finn's version of "Billie Jean" too.
That's a surprisingly effective cover, given it was just for a quirky segment on a radio show. Do you have the rest of the CD too? Rolf Harris' version of "I Touch Myself" has to be heard to be believed.
I heard it was an Australian tv show, and the star of that show is playing the dog in the US version.
You heard correctly. It's on SBS here (multicultural programming for the most part. Not sure which culture features the pot-smoking dogs.)
Will do, rommytot. Or won't. I'm not sure which. I shall ponder the wisest course of action over a snifter of cognac. Typo, I am in love with your new tagline.
JZ, I am in love with your typo.
My office is giving me no cognac. They're promising cider at 4:00, though. I guess I should stick around, huh?
What's everybody doing for their Onerous Task today?
Washing all the things, packing all the things, cleaning all of the things and eating all of the perishable things.
So far laundry is done, electronics are compiled and I used the last of my bread and eggs making poached eggs on toast with a dab of Hollandaise on them. The last bit was yummy.
I am so unprepared to leave ugly early tomorrow. But I am getting closer.
JZ, I am in love with your typo.
Ha! I didn't even notice.
Maybe I should change my name to rommytot.
JZ's onerous task for today: drink that cognac!
I'm on it! (It's good.)
Tep, I do put garlic in my best get-better soup, which is chicken stock with lemon, garlic and Thai hot sauce. Plus noodles. But the hot sauce really does get your nose running, and the lemon is soothing, and the garlic is healthful.
Sox, I thought the 1-2-3 list was the programmer writing back (and quoting South Park) saying, "Uh, how exactly are you going to make money doing this?"
Ha! I didn't even notice.
I thought it was a callback to your ZJ opposite-world reference.
Apparently I'm going to spend the rest of the day explaining jokes.
That's my superpower.
That was my assumption too, David.
I stopped at the health food store on the way home from the university. There was a poster about a raw food class, which looked interesting. The bottom of the poster said to register early, and to go to the website for more info. So I got home, looked at the website, and it says that you need to go to the store to register. They couldn't have put this information on the sign in the store?
Isn't that what a cold is?
Steph, I meant that as in bacterial as opposed to viral. Colds are viruses. But, I don't think garlic can hurt you unless you have a very sensitive stomach.
