moominmollyBlue Crush: Won me over when they showed a broad-shouldered athletic babe doing chinups at sunrise in the first 60 seconds. Lots of neat underwater shots.
Shopping: I have failed to find any large sheets of industrial fishnet. (I'm thinking of the kind that has maybe 3/4" between bits of twine.) Where could I find something like this? Are there any good Army surplus stores that aren't on Newbury street?
Boots: Found big stompy black leather boots for David, complete with buckles and straps and stuff! Yay.
Car: I've finally decided to not trade in my moderately-green (ULEV) Civic HX for a splufty new 4-door Civic Hybrid. It was almost a cool enough idea to be worth spending that money, but ultimately: no. Maybe later. If I'm going to have a car, it might as well be a cool responsible one, but I can't go trading it in every time a new, cooler car comes out.
Soda: Half-assed experimentation seems to suggest that drinking Diet Coke when I'm not eating something does, in fact, make me shaky and hungry in a bad way. Suck! Back to seltzer. Maybe I'll start icing coffee in the mornings. Update! I tried Jolt Espresso last weekend! It's part-Jolt, part-coffee, and it's almost as good as the carbonated coffee in a can that died a small and pitiful death a few years ago. I expect this product to do the same thing, but while it's out there, I plan to buy and drink lots of it.

Date: 2002-08-19 11:42 am (UTC)Is it the caffeine you crave in coke? or the sugar? Perhaps try caffeinated water? or chocolate-covered espresso beans (one of my favorite)?

Date: 2002-08-19 11:51 am (UTC)I tried two or three fabric stores in Chinatown on Saturday, but no luck. Are there actually theatre props stores?
Does this help?

Date: 2002-08-20 03:42 am (UTC)Speaking of which, I've not seen any Insights since I moved, and only one or two Prii. Guess they must be more concentrated on the north-south axis through DC. *sigh* Too bad. Cool cars.
