He told me once that the secret to crossing the streets in Hong Kong was to not make eye contact with the drivers. The theory goes is, if you do then they know you know they're coming at you and you better get out of their way. However, if you just keep eyes front and balls it across the street then they have to get out of your way.
I was told the same thing by my tour guide in Italy.
And it is so, so true. When I came back I kept crossing without looking at the light, which freaked my friends out.
Yeah, both of the Laptops I'm bringing have DVD drives and I'll bring the breakout cables for them.
Mine has DVD, too, and CDRW; I'll be bringing vids for a vid party, too, and we can burn people data discs of them, should they want them. As well as other assorted hoo-ha.
Woo hoo! Signing up for the line to get copies.
I'll also be bringing my laptop, which can serve as a DVD player (though sadly, not an additional recorder to get a factory going) if another is needed.
I used to live in Eagle Rock. (throwing hat into the upper-end-of-the-110 ring).
Echo Park (long time back).
Way back when I was in law school in DC, I had a favorite sushi restaurant that I think is still there. Would anyone be interested in making that one of the restaurant choices on Friday night?
Sean and SA, I think I am going to be getting a room at the hotel on Thursday as well as Friday and Saturday, in case it matters.

Thanks, sweetie. I think I'm covered, but you know how things are. We tend to migrate.
Observe the migratory patterns of the Buffista.
Watch as they circle each other, throwing down the common tactic of snark and (p)leather to draw desired attention.
It appears that they often gather at a common nesting site for what appears to be a group mating ritual.
It is fascinating to watch, as the females are adorned in what appears to be tiaras, as they move in synchronization to the little known but critically acclaimed theremin; note the proliferation of alcohol and dvds that appears at such an occasion as well.
The use of alcohol as a mating device is well-understood, but the DVDs are still a mystery to most that study these fair and noble creatures.
