A good friend of mine is moving to England, and it is always sad when friends move far away. But it will give me another excuse to visit Europe, which is always good. In any case, I volunteered my car to help her move some things, and in return she picked out a couple of her belongings which she felt would make a nice present to me.

And, in addition to the giant fluorescent stuffed frog and a couple other random items, she included, somewhat hesitantly, a contra skirt! This has totally made my day, and I can't wait to try it out on the dance floor!

She also dumped two ancient laptops on me on the theory that I was better placed to know where to donate them to: a powerbook 1400cs/333 and a thinkpad 600e. If anyone wants them, let me know, they are supposedly still both functional. Otherwise I'll post them to reuse, unless there is a more obvious home for them?

I'm not sure how to break it to you, but...

You didn't know that my sporty Ford Escort is fully equipped for trans-atlantic travel?

I was previously unaware!

The drive's tough though. You go about a 1/4 mile, come up for air, go a 1/4 mile, come up for air...

ThinkPad?

I'd snag the ThinkPad if it's still available.

Been looking for a machine I can use for playing with VMware...

It is yours, then. Let me know what the best way of getting it to you is...

I suspect I factor in, possibly via a Wednesday word games.

Yay for visiting Europe! Hurry up... I'm bored with always having to come to the States...

Probably not until after I finish my thesis. But definitely sometime next year, I have a lot of family and friends I haven't seen in a while.
