Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wait, didn't Joaquin decry the idea of fuelling his acting with personal pain?

Joaquin Phoenix developed an alcohol dependency while filming his role as Johnny Cash in the new movie biopic Walk The Line. Country singer Cash, who was a renowned drinker, prompted actor Phoenix into increasing his alcohol intake for a better portrayal of the character. Gladiator star Phoenix, 30, realized his problem was getting out of control and in April checked himself into a rehab clinic when filming was over. He tells London magazine Time Out, "It was then that I became aware of my drinking. I wasn't an everyday drinker but didn't have anything else to do, anything to hold me down. I was leaning on alcohol to make me feel ok. That's what it really was."

Jesse, can you give me an update on your findings? I'm in need of that knowledge.

Hmmph. After I asked about the cool Santa Ana winds, the temperature just kept rising. Santa Monica's predicted to get to 92, which is hotter than its summer.

Yeah, you feel like you'd be taking your test drive with Huckleberry Hound or Snagglepuss.

Well, that's good news.

Also on the news this morning, it appears that Merck has developed a cervical cancer vaccine - 97% effective in trials. Should be available next year, they say.

Fuckinghell.

Someone blew away a directory on the main webserver with 8 YEARS worth of reports and files. Stuff we still use. Like yesterday. I have NO IDEA WHY.

Maybe they wanted us to transition to another location.

Would have been nice to have some warning, though.

And I can't work on other stuff because our main system is down for maintenance.

Going to be a long day.

Hec, your pal Phil the Unabomber is the main story in the Living/Arts section of the Boston Globe today

Man, that is so cool. Also, from the article --

Laak was traveling in Europe with a friend when they decided they wanted jobs that were fun and profitable.

The friend was Gary, right? I *love* Gary and Phil stories!
