Manga? Anime? Different? Oh, I'll just get confused. Never mind.

Lau'ss here and I had the dope out? OMG hide the dope. Don't worry I'll jump in the closet, he won't see me there.

Oh, now THAT's too bad.

Nan, I'm riding the short end of a brain wave today. What's too bad?

All.

Well, seeing as how I have my 2nd migraine in as many weeks and nothing else works and Nan brought it up, I did a search to see if medicinal marijuana would be useful for a migraine. Lo and behold, there has been the odd study that says it is. It doesn't say how odd the researchers are or how much they smoked themselves but it is supposed to be beneficial. I know that it is very helpful for Crohn's disease pain so I am sitting here wondering what Lauri the Pothead would look like. How much impairment does smoking pot cause?
Does anyone here know anything about medicinal marijuana?

**Never mind! I just remembered the whole appetite issue and I don't need any help with my appetite! No pot for me!!

It's pretty easy, actually - anime moves and talks (it's "anime"ted, you see), while manga just sits there and waits for you to read it.

ANFSCD.

I liked the robots best!

The humanoid ones? Playing soccer? Those are cyborgs. The Cybermen. Preceded the Borg by 20 years I might add.

Quick history of my long weekend...

Friday, knowing that Lemon + Lemonette were coming over for a few days, I decided that was a good excuse for me to get my **** in gear and come up to London. Managed to impromptu arrange everything.

Friday, drove up to London, saw my great-nephew for the first time in over a year (he's only 18 months now.. I think). He's into "baby signing". I was quite impressed. Missed one friend I'd have like to have seen, but she was off to Scotland.

Spent Saturday with that lot, but my weekend arrangement was pretty abysmal, and they were coming down past here (home, where I am now), and down to Port Isaac (where we all used to be), early Sunday (4am), so moved on to my other friends (this is all too complicated).

Had arranged to meet L&L in the Tate Britain when they opened at 10am Sunday. It's a long while since I'd been there. We looked a a lot of the non-modern art, where Lemonette insisted that John Constable's "Malvern Hall" had its reflections all wrong (stupid artist that he was). She also had to repeatedly tell Lemon and me to stop being so loud.

Had some trouble remembering about the giant mosaic painting in front of the National Gallery - something to do with Rolf Harris, and I couldn't recall if it was the Mona Lisa or The Haywain. I now know it was both (see here).

Wandered around some of the modern stuff (I love Francis Bacon's work, as art, but I can't look at it(?!?)). Suddenly realised it was 1.30 pm, so we went for lunch (bought from the supermarket, eaten on the edge of Clapham Common, where we were briefly accosted by a weird and/or nefarious Italian).

Being London born, I have very little idea of what one is supposed to sight-see. Finished up in a bookshop opposite the (closed) British Museum, then wandered down to sit on the steps in Trafalgar Square, eating peanut cookies.

Ten hours had flown by, with few gaps in the talking/laughing. I rushed away, abandoning them as it grew dark (mutual AS idiocy - I think we've forgiven us), to drive back to my friends, drink wine and see the Perseids.

Spent Monday and Tuesday tinkering with my friends' new (old) laptop. They'd bought it second-hand from a dealer. It had the previous owners' 9Gbytes of unusable music downloads, Jamaican photos and all their email still on it. I deleted that lot and sorted out my friends' website. Failed to re-meet the Ls on Tuesday when they went to the Science Museum, which I would have really liked to revisit. The last time must have been forty years ago! Drove back here late on the Tuesday.

Alright, I like the cyborgs. I liked the one asking for directions and wandering about in the park!!

Ahh, thanks Deacon.

Smart too! Can't fool me. Well, sometimes. OK, quite often actually, Ok, almost every damn time. Fine. I'm a big damn fool, who swallows everything, hooks and all. But not this time!! !

I see that a Gee-knee-us with silly bits came by with a cordial "Hi all." You're not only limited to one phone call now from jail, you're limited to one two word phrase.

Mine would have been "Help me!", but Lau is far too polite for that, always thinking of others and never of himself. Which explains his success in table dancing, and his present predicament.

Lemon, of course, said: , which we didn't hear.

Whoops!! !! (slow typist)
Oh, Hi Lau!! !

That sounds like it was great fun!! I love it when the members on here meet. And it is nice to know that you two were having so much fun that you got shushed by a kid!

Good stuff lau. I still have a smile on my face from reading it twice.
