That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

The only thing I know about this movie is that it was mentioned in some Israeli movies site, and they kept mentioning his name as the current Israeli currency equivalent to the sum of 50 cents. So the kept calling him "2.34 NIS".

That's hilarious!

Kate, is there a way to fins out for sure whether that person is involved with another grant? This way, if he isn't, fine, and if he is, you can start figuring out what to do from there, but at least you'll know you have to deal with the problem, not just be in this annoying "what now?" state.

We've got phone calls and emails in to him now, and we're just waiting to hear back. The proposal is all done, and I can't put together another completely different one at this point, so it's either this proposal or nothing.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

2.34 NIS

I love this. If Diddy gets to change his name every time he changes his shoes, I think 2.34 NIS should one-up him by dynamically linking his name to world currency markets.

so it's either this proposal or nothing

Which makes things easier, I think (if still frustrating). You don't have the chance of pressuring yourself in order to make another proposal anyway, so it's out of your hands as it is.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

In all seriousness, Kate, there's not much you can do. Can your organization do the proposal without the other? If not, and the other guys pull out, you're just screwed. (I mean, in terms of having wasted your time working on the proposal.) And you should probably talk to someone as high up in your org as possible, if the regular people who would deal with it aren't there. This kind of shit happens semi-regularly, and is why I hate working with partners.

HA HA HA HA!!

I think 2.34 NIS should one-up him by dynamically linking his name to world currency markets.

See, since I saw the relevant site regarding this, the value of the USA $ has already increased when compared to the Israeli Shekel, so the dynamical linking is the only way to go.

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

Gold standard, baby.

I do feel better knowing this.

I exist to placate.

No, really.

0.42 EUR. 58 Yen. 23 Rupees. 5 Pesos. Hee.

OK, so on the Sun's site, they've been soliciting slogans. The earnest ones are lame , but ..."Baltimore: We're Baltimorons!" " Baltimore... we're trying hard! Just step over the body on your way home. " "The Crabby Apple." "Baltimore - it's not as bad as you think. It can't be." "Come to Baltimore and get crabs. "

Heh. This city has had so many slogans tacked to it...and then the glue dries up and they fall on the floor. Why do they bother?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Cool! A friend of mine actually has written something for a show on Sunday. I haven't seen him in about 6-7 years so I might surprise him.
