Hm.
So, what do you get when you spend the day reading about the Battle of the Somme, watching 'Criminal Minds' and 'Who do you Think you Are,' tuning into the latest episode of 'Fringe,' and eating a whole acorn squash for dinner ( Read more... ) -
Oh, parents.
An email conversation between me and my father:
Dad: Off to Lutsen in a hour or two. Uncooperative weather; trip could be a bust, but we'll see.
Me: You mean, your trip could be a bust, be a bust, be a bust in the hall of fame?
Dad: Precisely, Miss Munchkin. In Bayfield Wi for lunch. Rain has stopped.
And an excerpt from a Skype conversation:

Karasu Pamphlet Translation, Part III
Part I - Character Info
Part II - Summary
This time, we have blurbs from the screenwriter and the director. Next time, we'll get into blurbs from the boys themselves, and perhaps I can avoid the excessive historical vocabulary and it will progress with a lot more speed. :D

Dishwashing soap.
So, to get some emergency dish soap, I went down to the little family-run convenience store about a minute and a half from my house.

O Daye of Manie Appointmentes
So, at one point, I thought it would be a good idea to knock off my eye appointment and dental appointment on the same day. Decision on that is pending. I'm off at 10:30 for the optometrist, then off to the dentist at 4:30. Eye exam? No sweat! Dentist?.....uh.
