The Economist rocks my world. I felt better informed when I read them weekly than I do know, even though I have endless access to information now.
I also admit that I like the IHT better than the NYT because of its succinctness.

not your mom's socks.
I'm pretty sure that the Economist endorsement will make at least one of my relatives very confused. I need more popcorn.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
high-end travel accessories - brands?
Louis Vuitton.

msbelle, would the folks you're shopping for appreciate fountain pens and ink? Or would that be too "weird"? (I say in quotes, because I can't fathom someone not being delighted with a nice fountain pen and ink, but I suppose those people do exist.)

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Things seem to be basically back to normal around here. We've been very lucky.

I think one of them would like it, but the others not so much.
I have everything from emergency radios to espresso machines, headphones, and digital cameras on my list. I hope something grab his interest.
I did not think this task would put me in a foul mood, but realizing I would want almost none of this has done it.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Man, I feel like shit today. I can't figure out why: I haven't done or eaten anything unusual lately (unless three small pieces of Halloween candy have the ability to do me in), I even slept decently last night, but I'm all queasy and lightheaded and I just feel gross. Really wish I could go home, but Rose's daycare is really near my office and not at all near our house, and I don't think driving home now, then driving back over here an hour later would do me much good. And picking her up early would probably not be a great idea for either of us. Really wish M was going to be home earlier than 7 tonight. Ugh.
