Crossing my fingers for your ankle! I'm up doing laundry at 3:30 a.m. (here) as the kids have acquired a pretty spectacular stomach bug.

You couldn't hit water if you fell out of a boat! You couldn't hit your head on a low ceiling! That's actually a pretty good effort for a person with your physical limitations. Take your time, I'm up here for the next hour. Straighten arm, then release ball. Wow. You really suck.

Generationals -- Actor-Caster

Pet Shop Boys -- Elysium

Brian Eno -- Taking Tiger Mountain By Strategy

I do. They are fantastic.

I would have liked to visit this room. Luxman + Vivid = my kinda action. Also somewhat intrigued by this snippet:
