Hi, _vocalion_! It's great to hear from you!

These aren't lame answers. And don't you dare apologize for your reply!

I actually think real estate ads are lots of fun to read. It's like taking a trip to a bunch of different houses without having to worry about seeing people, which can be very nice!

British TV, crap? ;-D

What color did you paint the bathroom?

I painted my spare room "familiar beige." How boring is that? The only exciting thing about it is that I got beige splotches on the ceiling, and really, that's not exciting, that's sloppy. But I like to think that I'm providing an opportunity for my guests to wake up laughing in the morning. First thing they get to see ... my mistakes. ;-D

It's great you traveled to Ghent and stayed with sigune! I'm incredibly jealous, actually. (Oh, I just realized. Horrible person that I am, I don't know that I ever responded to your latest email. But if I didn't, I meant to say this: the Treaty of Ghent isn't the most relevant piece of history, so don't feel bad. ;-D)

Hope you're doing well, despite all of the rain!

British daytime programming is crap. I haven't seen much of the nighttime programming.

I painted the bathroom Champagne Fizz, which looked vanilla in the can, but came out too lemony on the wall. Oh well. Familiar Beige doesn't sound like a bad choice. I bet it's easier on the eye than Unfamiliar Beige. :-D And sometimes it's good to paint a room a neutral shade to let the furnishings stand out. I painted my office Cappuccino, which, I'm pretty certain, is the UK equivalent of Familiar Beige. :-)

I'm doing well, although I do feel rather isolated here without a car. In fact, I've had a string of Familiar Beige days lately, I guess.:-)

Oh, I've missed you!

Seems like British paints are all named after drinks? ;-D

I wish you some Champagne Fizz (not lemony - unless we're going by the fanficiton definition and you want lemony) days in the near future! :-D
