at work. busy. no boss until 11.

I am more and more convinced that we have a sick office. old heating, bad ventilation...We have several air purifiers around the office and they are dirty within a week. Today I cleaned the 3 closest my desk, I opened windows and turned on a fan. Now I am having a morning drink of airborne. All of this probably only barely compensates for the sick office combined with the subway (man sneezing today with no mouth coverage).

One of my co-workers just came and asked for a replacement phrase for "killing two birds with one stone." She wants something with a less violent picture, but that is still a figure of speech. Any ideas?

"Scaring the living hell out of two birds with one stone."

"Scaring away two possums with one scream."

I was watching more of the Oscars last night, and I need the Lilly Tomlin and Meryl Streep show NOW.

Man, that would rawk.

Here you go, vw: Bless two birds with one lotus. From [link]

Also, Altman's speech was good, and touching, with the thing about the heart transplant.

And Three 6 Mafia's acceptance speech may have been the best ever. "...And we want to thank the Academy, we loooove the Academy....".

The Lily Tomlin and Meryl Streep bit was amusing at first, but it felt like it went on too long.

I forgot to mention in my original Oscar post about rolling my eyes forever about the repeated "see it in a theatre/DVD is evil" message. Maybe if theatres started making it a pleasant experience again, rather than an oppurtunity to spend a lot of money to watch a film you can't enjoy because of the inconsiderate strangers watching it with you, people might be more willing to go.

I didn't feel the Tomlin/Streep went on too long, and quite delightedly, they sustained it. There wasn't really another presenting gag that was funny past ten seconds.

Jesse, that's perfect! Thanks!
