Yesterday, amidst mountains of work asplodiness, I had a shining moment; my Seven Verve was delivered to the shop. Joy apparently comes in increments of 3.57 lbs of titanium:Quoth the Stimpy: “Oh, Joy!” According to BabyNames.com, Hitomi is Japanese for “blue eyes”, while BehindTheName.com says it is Japanese for “pupil of the eye”.
