Enough cat food to keep Junior fed for a week.

^There's a great comfort in having a big sack of cat-food in the house -I usually buy them three at a time

Just ordered Scouting for Boys on Amazon... been thinking about it since Stephen Fry quoted from it on QI:

Scouting For Boys has this advice to offer on the following subjects:

Suicide: 'When a man has gone so far as to attempt suicide, a scout should know what to do with him. In a case where the would-be suicide has taken poison, give milk and make him vomit, which is done by tickling the inside of the throat with a finger or a feather…In the case of hanging, cut down the body at once, taking care to support it with one arm while cutting the cord… A tenderfoot [novice] is sometimes inclined to be timid about handling an insensible man or a dead man, or even of seeing blood. Well, he won’t be much use till he gets over such nonsense.'
/.../

Emphasis mine (and Frys).

It's not that I have to read non-pc books, but if they promise as much hilarity as this one, I really do!

A trimmed, light blue knit top and a blue, shawl collar sweater, from Coldwater Creek---then bought a sequined top from Coldwater Creek's website.

I just found out that they are going to go out of business soon. I don't think I can cope.

*sigh*


Also bought a new pillow at Bed, Bath and Beyond, and, to console myself, I bought a BLT from Jimmy John's.

Bought a car

You can't just say I bought a car and leave it at that. We need to know what kind and everything.

ETA: Never mind, saw your post in Post Your Ride.

[Kai "the spy"]

I'm very happy to have recently purchased Ian Fleming's You Only Live Twice and The Man With The Golden Gun 2008 Penguin007 edition with those amazing cover art. Those two were missing from my collection for years, and now I finally have the complete edition.
