Potterwatch: 167 of 3964. A bunch of people clearly haven't picked up their copies yet. Slackers. Also, there's a copy going begging on the Best Bets shelf at Alderwood branch! Nobody's touched it for 3 days! Get out there, people!

Tour de France: Vinokourov fails blood test, Astana out. This really disappoints me. While I'm not a year-round cycling fan, Vinokourov's Tour has been an incredible story of guts and determination after a bad fall early on. I'm dismayed to learn he was cheating. Dammit.

LJ: I thought work had finally blocked it because of my obsessive reloading. Turns out it was a power cut.

House: Jen and John rented something called an Oddjob, which is apparently of the awesome, and finished another row of blocks. Two partial rows left to go! Tonight: concrete floor. Then we can't work on it for two days while it sets.

Travel: I bought my ticket yesterday! England here I come. September 22-October 6. mrs_cake and I can go to the airport together.

Entertainment: Went to see Ratatouille again last night. SO wonderful.

Trainwrecks: Apparently Lindsay Lohan has bet she can take Becks away from Posh? Honey. Sweetie. Go back to rehab and CALM DOWN. We all feel bad for you.

Have a wonderful time in England. How far north are you going?

[electricland.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Not very far north at all, actually -- mostly staying in the south. I'm staying with family friends in Cornwall and I want to check out some things on the south coast -- Roman remains, Rye, etc. I may get up as far as Norfolk, which is not very far. Really looking forward to it!

It sounds wonderful. *big hugs* as I dash off to go kayaking. ;)

Oh how very cool! What airline are you on? Where to?

[electricland.livejournal.com]

Air Transat, to... um... I can't remember if it's Heathrow or Gatwick. Oy. Anyway, it's an evening flight. Now I just have to plan everything else.

I've been amassing more suggestions for stuff you can do while you're here, BTW. Will send them along in a bit. ;)
