How do you do regret better than this? You cannot.

If only.

I'm betting this one was McVeighs, not Muslims. Either way, as an adopted Bostonian, fuck you to the bombers. I hope you die in pain. Martin Richard, RIP.

Big Night does rule, though. Timpano should be served at all Head Case gatherings.

Before we went full colonial, I used to get my shoes from these guys. In those days it was $25 flat rate shipping to the US, regardless of the # of pairs. Don't know if that still holds. http://www.shiptonandheneage.co.uk Don't wear the oxfords etc. much anymore but expect they'll all outlast me.

Nice! Biking is a great incentive, particularly where hills are concerned ...

We're metric down here, so my first arbitrary milestone was 10 kg (22 lbs) off, which came up yesterday. In addition to eliminating wheat (specifically) and gluten (generally), I've also started limiting liquid calories -- which in my case means cutting back on alcohol since I basically just drink water, tea and wine. This has also been a net positive for ... other reasons. Anyway, I'm now 102 kg (225 lbs) @ 6'7" for a 25.3 BMI. I'd like to get to around 210 lbs (95 kg) and am just going to keep doing what I'm doing until it stops working.

World Party -- Take It Up. It is impossible to be depressed while listening to this song. I got an extra glimpse of the truth today. Staring at my breakfast, when I thought I heard it say: "Fighting is no good. Success an empty lie. The treasure hunt is lonely until you realize, We came to take it up, we came to take it up, we came to take it up! We came to raise it up, we came to take it up, we came to move it uuuuuuppppp!" (Wicked Hammond organ, Doodle oo doo etc.)

For complicated and boring reasons involving the South African agent for Omega and an unadvertised price rise, I never got the Speedy after all. The dealer did have a SeaMaster A/T Chrono in stock and gave me a very nice discount on that by way of apology. While it doesn't have the same backstory cachet, I actually like the fact that it is a little smaller and (arguably) dressier. So all's well that ends well.
