Sure the excise men can dance all night
Oct. 26th, 2004 12:46 amUnexpected upside to having your friends scattered across the globe: e-mails and lj updates at unusual times. This provides amusement at all hours of the day. Perhaps I will invest in overseas friends for this purpose in future.
So I was in Moscow for a grand total of three hours today. It's so much more fally there than here--I never realize how much I miss that until October rolls around. For some reason, Minnie (one of our dogs) went CRAZY the moment I stepped inside--she herded me into the wall and howled for attention for half an hour. She's never done that before . . . The 'rents and I went out to lunch and then to the liquor store. I bought tiny bottles of chocolate vodka for Steph and I to try, at our friend Margo's recommendation. Dad contributed twenty cents to the purchase, which Mom called "Baby's first vodka." I didn't correct her.
Another example of my mother's ability to be breathtakingly insightful and utterly bizarre in the same gesture: her birthday presents to me were a magazine rack and a copy of America (the book): A Citizen's Guide to Democracy in Action. *shakes head in bewilderment*
My Amazon page just recommended the following things to me: T-Mobile Phones, Big Trouble (the movie), and the "Philips HeartStart Home Defibrillator." Because I've been doing a lot of searches related to my cardiac problems. WTF?
