oh, nice TS! that's good to hear al that happiness around.i'm going to have my diner at a colleague's with a couple of other friends.let me take a bottle of Bordeaux red wine here and i go!

I am happy that I am finally online in my new apartment Phew, what a weekend! If I see one more cardboard I will kick it!!!

I was cleaning up the home office and found all manner of forgotten/lost treasures: meteorite specimen bought in Thailand, handheld oscilloscope, origami SR-71, an old HP-11C calculator that was $0.75 at a garage sale, seeds from who-knows-what plants, an 3 1/2" AOL disk, 25-year-old business cards, and other crap of low monetary but high RAM value.

we enjoyed a shiny day here, today. i rode my bike in the country land. ah, mild life!did you move to a new city, PP?

I was happy and optimistic. I visited weather.com on my cellphone. When I saw I was forwarded to the mobile version of the site, m.weather.com, I thought surely they will show me the forecast.Usually when I go to weather.com on my laptop, I am shown the current weather. Just in case I am locked in a dungeon, but about to be released. But since they see I am on a cellphone, surely they realize I am outside and I know the current weather. Surely they realize I am on a slow connection, and after waiting 30 seconds for a download, I don't want to have to click another link and wait again for the forecast. Surely they realize I may be on a limited data plan, and I cannot afford to download the current weather.But sadly, a moment later, the address bar completed its download, showing m.weather.com/weather_now. And after all that, I got to find out something I already knew: It is 83 degrees. Not 83 degrees at the nearest airport or weather station, but 83 degrees right where I am standing, based on my satellite location which the page requested to know before telling me.Just in case I am in a space suit, and I cannot tell the temperature around me...

This thread almost literally reminds me one classic Russian joke. It's one of about ten thousand jokes about a schoolboy, whose name is Vovochka. He is a bit unorthodox child, something like a mixture of farmer and Errrb. Here goes...Teacher Maria Ivanovna gave children homework to write something that has word "beautiful" twice. Teacher says, "Who wants to read the homework? Masha, you go'Masha goes, 'My Mom baked a beautiful blueberry pie, and its taste was so beautiful...'Teacher -- 'Good Masha. Natasha, you now'Natasha -- 'My parents took me to a beautiful park yesterday, and the leaves on the trees were very beautiful'Teacher -- "Great, sit down now. Ok, Vovochka, what do you want? Ok, read your sentence too"Vovochka -- 'My sister came to breakfast and said,"Dad, I am pregnant". And Dad said, "Beautiful, just fucking beautiful"
