    Once upon an evening's duty, when I fancied something fruity, Something sweet and slightly chilly, cool but not enough to numb -- While I hungered, deeply craving, I recalled my love was saving In the icebox, soul-enslaving, rich and golden-fleshed, a plum.

    My old LiveJournal account appears to have been hacked and the password changed. I only found out from the ransom email -- haven't visited in years. I should've deleted it when they sold the site to Russians; oh, well.

    This auction design reminds me of the waiter's trick of finding the center of gravity of a tray by sliding three fingers together (esp. section 5.3).

    In Berlin. 4 of 5 trains I've booked on this trip either got canceled or I missed because my backup train was late. Starting to wonder if they really are better than Amtrak.
