"and i'm on the verge of being a smoker again but am trying to substitute expensive fruit.":.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:i got e-mail from ananikko who apparently has installed a pachinko machine in her house. because i am still reeling, today, when i read her words i got all in-love-ish again.
speaking of love, not really: today at work, in the spec room, j-ann & i spontaneously broke out into "tell laura i love her." with two-part harmony, to boot. when dr s________ came in, i said, "hey, which song is better, 'tell laura i love her,' or 'teen angel'?"
"'tell laura,' definitely," he said, washing his hands.
