I do what I want.
[ETA: Since we're in the new days of a new place perhaps I should be less laconic. I have been arysteia on a million platforms for at least 22 years now. If you've ever known me anywhere else, yes it's me.]

It was new to me too. Packaged differently, you could see what you were selecting, and the orange Supra was the fetch quest. You couldn't buy it separately, it came disassembled, one piece in with each of the other main cars (the Charger, the Eclipse, etc). So that was fun.

God, what a day. I'm so glad everyone was so kind, what a lovely gesture from the couple at the restaurant.
I'm up in Auckland from Wellington, visiting friends, had Uyghur food for lunch, spicy, numbing, delicious. I have blisters on my feet though, because I never learn to pack appropriate shoes.

Awww, cute. I managed to collect about a dozen of my faves from bargain bins at my local toy store when - surprise - it turned out kids didn't really want them.

There's a blue car that parks opposite Hogwart's every summer at the end of term. Chef's kiss.

I contemplated getting a cherry tree but was put off by projected size and more importantly the fact they're not self fertile so I'd have to squeeze in two... but man, the thought of being free from highway robbery...

I hope so. I've gotta get into an exercise routine for the holidays, don't want to lose the ground I've painstakingly gained. Hard come, easy go.

A very good question.
In my case, I am still too stiff and sore to sleep. And mad at myself for telling Megan I'd go aqua jogging this morning.

It's in the basement! The "skylight" is in the floor of the lounge.
There are no windows because it was originally the Victorian era coal chute.

A Levels (I think it's short for Advanced) are the highest school exams in the UK. So a final year student.

Hated just right. Even as a 7 year old I thought it was stupid. I remember being so disappointed in the theatre with my parents. So much slapstick, next to no Lois, second-rate villains. As an adult I appreciate Christopher Reeve's performance more (always 2 parts, now 3) but the rest's still awful.
