Ooh, thanks!
You're not friends. You'll never be friends. You'll be in love till it kills you both.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My crowns are cemented back in my mouth and if anyone needs burial at sea, I can refer you to a very charming octogenarian.
These things are not related, just how weird my day has been.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
What provider do you use for your cell phone? When I was in Northern Ireland in February I took a Galaxy S4 on T-Mobile with me.
I have a Galaxy S3 on Sprint. It's CDMA only, so it won't do calls/texts over there. I can't upgrade to the S4 until after I get back. Good timing, right!
Zen, ages ago (okay, several years) when I went to Italy with a group of fannish friends, I rented a cellphone for the group. I can look up that information for you if you want, though I'd be surprised if there isn't a better way these days.
I'd thought about renting a phone, but I wasn't sure that was even a reasonable option. Tesco sells pay-as-you-go phones that you can return within a month; that may end up being my best route.

This was the character I met tonight at the pool: [link]
I knew he was full of stories (and not just the ones he told me tonight.)

... and, yup. I'm on the jury. Bah. So boring. I'm so used to not being empanelled because I have a JD, I just assumed they didn't want me. But even if they didn't want me, they pretty much ran out of challenges by the time they got to me.
So the trial runs through Thursday, and we have Friday off, and then probably deliberate on Monday. Argh.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The last time I was in Heathrow, there was a vending machine selling burner phones just past security in the terminal.

Eek, good luck with the jury, Suela! Kind of dreadful timing, isn't it?
I just got an email for this coming weekend's big dance tournament--I volunteered for one session (2 hours), but they listed out the still-open session and DANG, there's a lot still open. I feel bad for them...but don't have any intention of adding even more hours.

Oh, I remember that! I should have bought one there but I was in a hurry to get to Baggage Claim. But I'm flying into Dublin this time. If there's one there too, I'll nab me one.

OK, something to brighten the day: a video compilation of baby goats doing baby goat things: [link]

OH! My goat creamery people told me I should come visit them anytime. And I think I will. Also, their chevre is to die for. It tastes of spring and fresh and happy.
