"Hey New York! We want to test your emotional bedrock and post-traumatic stress levels by fucking with you for the next two months."
Yeay, residents of Tokyo were equally unhappy about the Giant Godzilla Balloon tests....
What should I do, then? Send her a gift? Sacrifice? … Unholy fruit basket?

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.

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

Something about the name "Freedom Tower" really rubs me the wrong way. Not sure if that makes sense....
Maybe it's the Freedom Fries debacle.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Oh, lovely. My building just sent out the following notice:
To All Tenants:
We have now been advised that engineers will detonate test explosives at the World Trade Center site beginning on Monday, June 12, 2006. This procedure will test the use of charges to clear bedrock for the Freedom Tower’s foundation. If the tests are successful, you may hear three to four muffled explosions per day on alternating weekdays for approximately two months.
Haven't you been hearing three to four explosions a day at work for the past several months, though?

Well, that's part of it... but not all. I was annoyed when Reagan wanted to use the name "Space Station Freedom" or whatever.
Pro'lly the way the right wing associates "freedom" with laissez faire capitalism and jingoistic patriotism.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Those are for the South Ferry Terminal, and thankfully, out of earshot for me. The WTC is right across the street.

It's a side-effect of the whole freedom-naming frenzy from a few years back -- makes it very hard to take anything named "Freedom ____" seriously.

Samuel L Jackson's speech at the MTV Movie Awards:
I’m here to tonight to present the award everybody’s been waiting for. Best Movie. Now this award holds a special place in my heart, because next year, I’ll be winning it; for Snakes on a Plane. Now I know, I know, that sounds cocky, but I don’t give a damn. I am guaranteeing that Snakes on a Plane will win Best Movie next year. It does not matter what else is coming out. The new James Bond? No snakes in that. Ocean’s 13? Where my snakes at? Shrek the third? Green… but not a snake. No movie shall triumph over Snakes on a Plane. Unless I happen to feel like making a movie called, “More Motherfuckin Snakes on More Motherfuckin Planes.”

And on another note entirely, I *love* my office today. We had a TON of food at the World Cup potluck, and about fifteen minutes into the game, we all decided we'd rather be watching it on Univision than ESPN (even though most of us don't speak Spanish), because their commentators actually care about the game. Plus, ESPN's commentators don't shout Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaal!
