Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Clearly, I should have looked in here first about the blackouts.

Kristen, I worked in the OCR office at Columbia Housing for a Rob L. Ring any bells?

It doesn't sound familiar. Were you in undergrad housing? Technically, I worked in the Institutional Real Estate office. (Yes, we made many jokes about that.) We did graduate and post-doctoral fellow housing.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I mean, Los Angeles is sort of one of those common knowledge places, right? We all know it's as far away to the left of New York on the map before you hit the ocean, right?

I thought so, but I have horribly overestimated the common knowledge of people before.

I think we have talked about this before.

This is possible. I think we may have even traded crazy parent stories.

Worst job ever: City Marshal's Office.

From Betsy's link:

Asked about going to the United Nations this week and how that will affect his attention to the crisis: "I can do more than one thing at one time... If I'm focusing on the hurricane, I've got the capacity to focus on foreign policy as well."

Who taught this man how to string words together?

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

But doesn't he have to fit in that every-single-day thought about Iraq into his schedule, too? Whatever will he do?

That assumes that he actually *cares* about what he is thinking about. He'll be fine.
