Exciting stuff Perry! And sounds like Titan struck lucky with his second owner.
I just placed an order for an I-Pad 2 for Mum's 65th Birthday pressie ![]() Me, my Bro and SiL, and the two Js are pooling for it. The girls will be buying a case/stand. Am so excited. She is really into the whole idea of ipads having played around with the girls' pads. To the extent that she was considering raiding her small savings account to get one. She's going to be sooo surprised! Went for a wifi + 3g capability, with 32 gig, in white. Only downside is that the stores are all out of stock and talking about having them 'within 28 days'. Here's hoping that that means less than 28 days 'cos her birthday is 3 weeks today.

Got a bonanza eBay delivery this morning.
The most expensive thing was a skirt from Next (High Street retalier above my personal spending limit) which I bought for £4.99. Originally marked up at £29.99. Everything else was far cheaper, including some bargains for the Tiger at or less than 99p. Next term I am tasked with improving his vocabulary. One of the words is Peacock. 2 peacock feathers, 60p. If he gets to touch them and I tickle his face with them (as well as showing a picture of course) he will never forget the word. Also got an end-of-line dog puppet with a velcro mouth and ball. This will help with his hand/eye coordination. I expected it to be a little ragged, but it's a lovely plush item. Also got some "touchable" bubbles. We've pretty much rinsed conventional bubbles. Oh and two bubble counters (they count the ones you pop) although they seem to require a LOT of pressure to work... have to see how they fare. Again, makes blowing bubbles into a counting game, added value. OH and my main reason for posting - got a book from Merc. Thank you very much hon. Am reading it already. Fascinating.

Except the bit about the potty in the middle of the living room. One mountain at a time.

Christopher Hitchens is still alive; and well enough to write his weekly column for Slate. And well enough to compose a line like this one, describing Florida pastor Terry Jones (italics mine):
Quote:
Such as about Jerry Falwell, a few days after his death: "If they'd have given him an enema, they could have buried him in a matchbox." I love Hitchens, his odds of surviving his cancer are apparently short, but he's still going, and that made me happy today. |

As I mentioned in my most recent blog post, I've been battling "stage fright" in the dating world recently after a pretty tough string of rejections.
Well, I decided I was tired of that bullshit...I took that stage fright outside today and knocked the fuck out of it. There's a gal I'm interested in and I asked her on a date. I haven't gotten an answer yet (had to do it via FB...don't have her phone #), but even if she says no, I feel good and I'm not going to be devastated by a no. It's just not in my character to be so gun shy about shit like that...and I'm sure as hell not going to start now. |
