(no subject)

Every time I read something like this, all I can think is "John Putnam Thatcher would not approve."

I miss those halcyon days when bankers were sober, stodgy, pinstriped, and averse to stupid risks.

Awesome

Like the commenters, I totally want a flying robot penguin toooooooo!

I'm going to Paris!

Yes, I know I'm being frugal and everything, but my parents are going to France for 5 weeks and borrowing a flat in Paris for 2 of them and -- like Rome last year -- I would kick myself if I didn't go. So, yay Expedia (where I found the flight) and yay FlightCentre (where I booked the flight for $10 less) and yay Air Transat (which will be doing the actual flying)!

EEEEE I'M GOING TO PARIS! I haven't been to Paris in YEARS. And then it was only for 1 day 10 years ago, on my way to visit Jen in London. I'm due.

What should I do while I'm there?

Important update

So about those penguins...

I showed Jen the video, and she ran into her room and found a postcard of this.

Which makes me very happy.

I'll need a penguin icon if this keeps up.
