Dum Dum Girls -- I Will Be

^That's funny. I got an email that iPads will be at the Apple Store 9am Saturday! I want to be the first one to touch one so I plan to get there are 9:01. Should be fun.

Oh well, fuck me. I thought the UK was 9 hours ahead of Cali, but it is only 8 hours. Happy to hear counter-measures are in place to protect the nectar.

Not a chance. I give it 3 weeks.

Saw the Tord Gustavsen Ensemble on Saturday. It was a great show. Tord usually plays with a trio but it was expanded to include a sax player (tenor and some kind of midget tenor or alto) and singer. They focused on the very cool new ECM album called Restored, Returned which includes songs based on W.H. Auden poems, and it was awesome. Their sound guy was called the sixth member of the quintet and he truly did an amazing job in a small space with very high ceilings, etc. Great show, and highly recommended.

I was not over-keen, it was well after 12am Edinburgh time when I first posted and I assumed you would still be up and online so that you would be cheered by our early well-wishes and continue on to a fine anniversary of your entry into the world. And btw, that better not have been the TNP that I bought and paid for and you promised to bring to CanJam!

If I am going to get one -- a big IF at this point -- it will be the 3G. Can't be sweatin' no wifi, and unlike my SoFla brother, as an officer of the court I am unable to jailbreak the iPhone.

I raise my Dugroni to you squire! Cheers Duggeh

Hey that sounds like the perfect recovery strategy! Very glad to hear the good knee news, Nate.

You need the Light of E

On second thought, forget the cake and let's go straight for the Negronis! It is officially your birthday from my rather weak reckoning, so I hope it proceeds in a jolly fashion and you have a couple buckets of said cocktails in celebration. Cheers!

Honey vanilla lavender and Love Parade (vanilla with chocolate and peanut butter) in a waffle cup from Fairfax Scoop. Actually, I just finished the last bite. Love Parade wasn't great, but HVL is always supreme.

Indeed. The Tice has just lost some length.

I was told that 80% of RX drivers are women. That seems odd but I wonder if that is similar for most smaller SUVs.
