Oct. 19th, 2005 09:10 amAccording to a message in my inbox this morning I've just won the UK Lottery. Hey, go figure. Apparently they're doing an international one and I'm the big winner. I've got to say for a spam it's pretty thorough, they've even included little gifs of the lucky winning numbers (21,32,41,42,43,46 and of course 17). I was very sad that it wasn't, you know, the numbers as it would've been quite charming given that there's Lost tonight. I also got my first Nigerian bank scam spam this week as well, I need to discipline my spam filter a bit, clearly.
I'd forgotten how much fun I have at dance class and was reminded last night, I spent the entire evening laughing and smiling. It's just so damn much fun, and it felt great to be able to move again after two weeks of near inactivity. Also picked up the DVD of photos that R- put together for us from DDF. It's a lot of fun and Aelf is going to love it, he does some seriously loving close ups of her costume that will make her squee. Sadly I tended to get cut out of a lot of shots because of my placement (generally way in the back) or because I ended up on the wrong side. But what I could see looked pretty good, and I love the way my costume for that one photographs.
T- and I had a chance to chat and catch up which was delightful, I just adore her. She also mentioned that apparently the video game symphony Video Games Live will be in town apparently November 5th and it sounds like a fun event to me. It's at the Civic Auditorium and balcony seats in the $20 range appear to remain available. I've got a recital to go to until 5 that day, but should be able to run home, shower and eat in plenty of time to make it to this. Would anybody be interested? If you need more info on the show itself just go here, I've been reading very good reviews about it, though.
And before I forget again I'd meant to mention my favorite reaction so far to my new vanity plates.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tamago commented that she was amused by the juxtaposition of the Snape-ish plates and the "Powered by Jamba Juice" plate frame. I'd said I should get something more appropriately dignified for them but she disagreed and mused aloud, "If you get a Liberal Arts degree you're supposed to be well prepared to ask the question, 'Would you like fries with that?'. Perhaps with an Advanced Potions degree the question becomes, 'Would you like a boost with that?'" The mental image of a young Severus Snape grimly concocting Jamba Juice is one that continues to amuse me.
BTW, last night's DS interview between Jon Stewart and Bill O'Reilly was such a hoot. Big Bill showed us once again why he's the biggest gaping asshole on television while Jon wittily, but with the restraint of a saint, skewered him mercilessly. My favorite moment, "You're right, we do add insult to injury...but *you're* adding the injury."
