I know you live around here, I'm sorry I'm such a sucky caller-backer. I miss you, too.

Why do you all have the same name? Let's mix it up a little.

My birthday present from Kirsten arrived: four DVDs from The Extinct Attractions Club.

My favourite ride in the history of Disney World, Horizons; the sorely missed Journey Into Imagination and World of Motion; and the mistily-remembered If You Had Wings.

I'm in Disney freak nostalgia paradise right now. The only thing missing is Kirsten here to share them with me. I'll bring them with me when I visit Japan.

Got a detailed email from Kirsten about her impressions of her new home. She lives in a town called Kashiwazaki, which is officially the most rural place a Phillips has ever lived in; she shan't even have a phone in her apartment until October (no, that won't do!) and she's the first Assistant Language Teacher for that school ever to ask about home internet connection. (She logs on from the school where she works.)

Hmm.

Also, apparently it's quite beautiful there but she's a bit homesick. What should I send her to make her happy?

(What I would like to send her is a high-speed internet company to install some semblance of technology in her new little world. We are soft, we city-folk.)

One of my favourite movies now has a website: Tim Warner: A Life in the Clouds.

Check her out.

Tonight was a magical, festive night of enchantment wherein I broke from my usual routine of home-couch-tv-internet-bed. First I went to dinner with my best friend Steph at my favourite restaurant. Then I met my friend Sarah (on the internets: serra) and we saw the funniest comedian alive at this old place, to which I hadn't been in many moons.

Sarah is one of the best people who makes me want to break out of my hermit home-couch-tv-internet-bed shell more often. Something about the combination of effortless wit, obvious talent, and fantastic rack, I think...

Did I mention how much glorious, blessed sleep I finally managed to get over the weekend?

I actually fell asleep by 11 last night.

Sadly, this doesn't seem to be a trend.

I just left the following note downstairs on the table where they leave the newspapers for our building. (Each one has an apartment number writ large in magic marker across the top.)

Dear Neighbors,
The Saturday and Sunday NYTimes marked with 1309* are ours. 1309 was our old apartment# across the street. Until we correct this error with the Times, please do not take our papers!!!
Your friends in 5242 (formerly 1309)

Do you think it will work? I had to steal someone's Sunday mag again, and I hate having to resort to petty thievery like this. (My theory is, someone takes our paper because they figure, since our building doesn't have a 1309, that it's free for the taking, when in reality, we just accidentally sent them the wrong number when we got the subscription.)

*None of the apartment numbers in this post are real, to stave off stalkers. Whatever, I used to have stalkers, it's not that far-fetched. :P
