There was almost a thunderstorm here early this afternoon, but it went away before it really got going. Maybe it went by you, LOL!
Any word on what they'll be showing at the anime convention? Hmmm--I may have to send you shopping for some deals on manga. . . :) I used to run down to the Chicago comic conventions because they'd have comics for sale so much cheaper than normal; I bet that's true of manga at anime cons, too.
Hey there!! Wassupanstuf?
Hair-- presume you got the news re: Dona's dogs?
Maybe there's some *reason* that your company should send you to the Seattle office for a few weeks?
I'm sure we could come up with someplace to stay, and we could use a little help in the yard. :-)
Rt 28 is exactly where I was stuck today. Usually it's a three-minute trip from Harmorville to the RIDC park exit - you probably got on at Harmorville too, I imagine you were coming from the turnpike, and then RIDC Park is the very next exit. Normally, easy trip. From now on, hell on earth.
Yeah, maybe we can do that... did you see I mentioned there's an anime-con in Denver? It's called Nan Desi Kon and I bet it would be fun to go one day and spend money I don'thave.
there's no way her gas is anywhere near as bad as mine... but keep tryin'...
Looks like a good syllabus for a Medieval British lit. semester!
Hey there Mister Nad.
BTW... did you hear the story today of the Scots in south Iraq someplace... 15 of 'em got ambushed by 100 bad guys. The Highlanders ran outta ammo at some point... fixed bayonets... and charged.
They killed 35 enemy and only suffered 3 slightly wounded. Took 9 prisoners and the rest got away... no Scots lost.
Holy smokes... wow. If that's only half as true as that story it's an amazing thing.
It was a fun class! :)
I gotta find an article on that story to forward to a Scottish friend of mine--he's gonna love to hear that :)
No - I didn't hear.... What happened with the dogs? Did she put 'em both down?
Nope, I'm not a gamer so I'm clueless.
Actually we came across on I-80 from just south of Wilkes Barre and got on to Rt. 28 where it connects with it north and East of Pittsburgh. We did the diagonal on 28 through Kitanning and down into town and came across the Allegheney right downtown by the Convention center since we were staying at the Ramada. That downtown is a MAZE! When we left the hotel the first time to go out to David's, it took us 15 minutes to find our way onto Forbes Ave. We went that route several times during the weekend, so after the second or third time, we got the hang of it.
I take it back - Clare and I sat through a commercial for it the other night. You'd have to ask her.
Suzi, Clare swore she'd be posting more so you gotta hold her to that.
Heh, yes, in Pittsburgh, three lefts don't make a right.
Gotta love them Scotsmen!
