On the wild expenses side, in addition to far too many books, bought 2 haori. Both black silk with embroidery (one swan, one peacock). Utterly gorgeous. The peacock I'm keeping for myself, the swan's for my mother for her birthday (and she'd better like it).

On the ridiculous side; on Wednesday I was stung on the sole of the foot by a wasp. Who was in my sock. Which I bought across from England rolled into another sock.

The wasp has been tossed outside and now haunts California. If a plague of English killer wasps arises, you'll know who to blame.

My foot feels pretty much okay now. However, when it comes to embarrassment, this feels on a par with the beads incident. Bringing across a wasp in your sock which you manage to waken from a convenient five days hibernation by sticking your foot into its refuge?

Way too exotic a premise for any sort of story.

Now I'm dreadfully curious as well.

Hmmm.... I wonder how much she'll owe me to not tell the beads story.

Was going to say Me too me too tell me about the beads incident. Except I think I know the beads incident. Which was nothing to be embarrassed about, actually. Compare it with TTG's classic typo of nyoubou (wife) for nyoibou (Gokuu's weapon uhh staff uhh the thing Gokuu waves about oh xrst there's no getting away from double entendres once they start.)
