Re: The Most Amusing Thing Today....
I was looking through a box, and found a copy of Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities. Which I got in March from the mall. But I got one a couple months ago from a shop I went by in the capital. Now I have two of the exact same edition. How did I not remember I already had one?
Into battle we ride with Gods by our side
We are strong and not afraid to die
We have an urge to kill and our lust for blood has to be fulfilled
WE´LL FIGHT TILL THE END! And send our enemies straight to Hell!

Re: The Most Amusing Thing Today....
Saw this on facebook:
i before e, except when either your weird feisty neighbor or his eight foreign heirs forfeit their beige heifers and seize freight.
It was more fun as an image, but I con't figure out how to get an image to post.

This is so funny, look how the restaurant takes something bad (a robbery) and turns it into a commercial. I want those tacos!

Re: The Most Amusing Thing Today....
It'll probably be different later, but this may be the only day of the year when
there was no traffic on the way to the station, so my almost empty bus had a clear run for almost the whole journey
I got on an almost empty train straightaway
I actually managed to get to work before 9.00
and hopefully we'll be allowed to leave early too
MInd you I'm the only one in the office at the moment, which is a bit creepy, the lights, which work on sensors, keep going off.
Someone else has come in now which is nice.

I took today off, but usually on Christmas Eve the morning traffic is nil - something that does not happen on a weekday in Seattle, even at 7AM. Ever. I was hoping to sleep in this morning, but no....

I took today off too. My parents and I went to Christmas Vigil Mass earlier this evening and had dinner at Olive Garden.Misfit wrote:I took today off, but usually on Christmas Eve the morning traffic is nil - something that does not happen on a weekday in Seattle, even at 7AM.

Yesterday there was a light amount of foot traffic at the library so that was nice.
