Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hey! Check out the current top story in the Apple.com start page: [link] "New Oxford American Dictionary Word of the Year: “Podcast”"

Mac Daily News reports, “Erin McKean, editor in chief of the New Oxford American Dictionary, said: ‘Podcast was considered for inclusion last year, but we found that not enough people were using it, or were even familiar with the concept. This year it’s a completely different story. The word has finally caught up with the rest of the iPod phenomenon.’”

Choosing the word of the year is incredibly difficult," said McKean. "Not just because of the enormous amount of data we look at-everything from blogs to technical journals to suggestions sent to dictionaries@oup.com -but because everyone has such strong opinions about what makes a word Word of the Year material. You'd be amazed at how hard our editors campaign for their favorites. I'm surprised nobody tried to bribe me -- except that the only thing I really want is more cool new words!"

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I dislike myspace.com. mostly because all the kids are on it ( young, under 16) at the library and it freezes the computers. So I have decided to despise it for no good reason

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

I also dislike myspace because they steal my bandwidth. But that's how I first heard of them--I'm so out of the loop. Maybe I should watch MTV more. Or do I mean FUSE?

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I don't know how I'm supposed to feel about that, or how the hell I'm supposed to react.
