That was too easy.

Vilnius: quite possibly the best capital name ever.*
I didn't know the other two. Vercingetorix sounds like a perfectly satisfactory name for a dragon.
*Antananarivo is a pretty awesome capital name too.

Excellent thoughts and points, all. Indeed, I would imagine that is why the walk helped.

I'm going to be moving to L.A. =)

Forbes ranks Smaug the Dragon in the 2011 Forbes Fictional 15 at rank #8, comfortably able to buy Bruce Wayne, but still under Tony Stark. Get the facts.

If only Smaug had an elephant shirt and matching elephant skirt.
Many of the most transcendent and most frustrating moments in my life have been while making things. I've left far more projects by the wayside unfinished than I've completed. At least 30 sit on shelves in various storage spaces, and I have eager plans for each of them, most of which will go unfulfilled. But I won't.

I heard they kept the character darker as well.

Alize is her own special case. IMO, Alize aside, overall, American pop wins over Europop. Maybe due to better funding of the video edit, yes, but we can't exactly judge on lyrical content in this category.
(Which is not to say that Alize is not completely hot. There is no denying that.)

Ahhhhh, yes. The One That Got Away. Well, can't do much about that.
See you next weekend.
See you next weekend.
Day Four: The fever is now a puny little sinus infection. I'm so less-sick I feel exuberant by comparison.
Apparently I lost my voice somewhere along the way. I had made it out of the house to the grocery store, and was in the middle of checking out when I figured that one out. The checkout attendant had to keep looking up at me because...

Due to the bikini and heels along with the lack of plates, insurance and gear, this was stationary fun time.
Day Three of the Fever: The good news for today is that I was finally able to sleep. Vastly superior to the 48 hours before, when I mostly tossed and turned, wishing I was sleeping. Still not well, but better day by day.

Now that's just tempting fate!

The Fever's going around over here. So far no one's died. Do let us know if you're the first.
Kidding. Get well soon. Fevers are the the worst, in my opinion. I know you don't agree. But get well soon anyway.

I thought the documentary about the ancient Greeks was pretty good too, although not as compelling as the Medicis.

Tart cherries with just enough sugar to tame, not to overwhelm. Yum.
