Sure the excise men can dance all night

Unexpected 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?

Man, Big Trouble is a fantastic movie and an even better book. BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT!

I was looking for a book of the same name about labor unrest in 1900s Idaho . . .

I have America (the book) too! I love the comparison chart things. Defibrillator...hmmm...hey, you were a girl scout! We need to be prepared to help people at all times. ;o)

The author is Lukas, they have some good deals on it at half. I bought me a copy.

I'm glad you enjoy the posts at odd hours. I'd bet you'd like it if I posted again or something, right?

This was actually inspired by your e-mail! But of course, posts are always appreciated . . .

Maybe the T-Mobile phone has a tiny emergency defibrillator in it.

What's truly exceptional about that Philips HeartStart Home Defibrillator is that in under a week, the $1500 product has received 6 reviews. The home defibrillator market is apparently much larger than I had anticipated. The review that caught my fancy was one by a man who said that he has absolutely no reason to expect to use one, but bought it anyway, "just in case." I imagine that he put it down in his fallout shelter with his 17,000 sq.ft of aluminum foil.

*ahem* He keeps it in the laundry room. Duh. Check out the one purporting to be from a dominatrix. Creative!
