the latest I get to the office is 8am. Often I am here at 7:30, and sometimes I am here at 7:00 am. When there are conferences, sometimes (if our clients are cheap ass and won't pay for overnight security, so we have to haul crap and set it up in the morning) I will be in by 6:15 or 6:30. In the morning.

I am hoping that when I move, I will be able to switch to being here at 8:30 or 9am because I just cannot get up any earlier than I do now, and I'll have a longer commute.

So that's what a sex hut is....

Here Come the Hooker Huts
A German city is bracing for some intense ball-handling action when the World Cup comes to town: Dortmund expects an influx of up to 40,000 extra prostitutes during the soccer tournament. While prostitution is legal in Germany, it's restricted to certain areas. "In Dortmund we have an official red-light district on the outskirts, but there is a problem," a city official told Reuters. "There is not enough space for everyone to park." In an effort to keep the post-game action off the streets and out of residential areas, city officials plan to erect wooden, Dutch-designed "sex garages" -- flanked with condom machines and a snack bar -- to handle the hooker onslaught.

snack bars at the hooker huts--Germans think of everything. "Well, that was a good shag, now I need a pretzel. Maybe some schnitzel."

Hooker Onslaught would be a good name for a band.

Or, you know, an iPod.

There's never enough space to park in the red light district, is there?

Congrats Cashmere! Buffista babies are busting out all over.

And J. Peterman is totally the man to beat in ballroom dancing, though Joey was very cute doing the quickstep.

I absolutely agree that J. Peterman and Charlotte are the odds on favorite, but I was cringing for the NKOTB partner. She was practically doubled in half trying to counterbalance his atrocious posture. Poor woman.

But his footwork was so good. Evander's partner looks like she's giving up hope, but he seems to be enjoying himself.

My iPod is named Willow (small, cute, techy). My computer is Enid, because ... I like Ghost World, and that's about it, really.

Awww... Lyra Jane named her computer after my mom....

Red Sox, Cubs meet for first time since '18

CHICAGO - The black cat wandered from one dugout to the other and made its way toward the Chicago Cubs’ bullpen before disappearing into the Wrigley Field stands.

How fitting.

A few days before the Boston Red Sox and Chicago Cubs meet for the first time in almost 90 years, the poster child for bad karma shows up at Wrigley.

“He wasn’t all black,” Cubs manager Dusty Baker said after the cat sighting Tuesday night. “It was black and white, so it doesn’t mean nothing.”
