Well, then, this is a day I'll feel good to be me.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Geez, Tep, put a warning on some of those pictures! The HOTTness of waist-cinched Erin just crashed my browser.

Says the utterly hot fierce bunny.

Also, JZ -- I just showed my co-workers the picture of the creepy human-faced cat stuffed animal thingy, and they (1) recoiled, (2) laughed, and (3) chatty!co-worker asked if it was from the Neverending Story collection.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Nora, CNN says the packages appear to be linked but are a hoax and don't contain explosives.

Hoaxters= ON THE LIST.

(I mean, I was reasonably sure they would be hoaxes, as they have been so far. Just hope they will continue to be so.)

Punishingly Intricate

I would hope that MIT-ians would be smart enough not to set off homeland security with a prank, but it almost sounds like something they might be pulling.

Wasn't Nora just talking today about the kids walking around in flip-flops and shorts. In Boston. In the winter? Maybe one of them froze their Common Sense right off.

re: bank accounts

The head of my department came around and said "Have you checked your bank balance today?" and I thought, "Oh, crap, what have they done?" Then he handed me an envelope containing the amount of bonus that the company had decided to hand out as an apology for taking so long to get the bonus program into place. Let's just say that it amounts to a second paycheck.

I love my company.

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

Ooh. Cool.

Watchya' gonna' buy?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Hacks have always been very, very benign.

Weeeeeell, I'm not sure lighting magnesium strips under the wheels of a Green Line car so it's welded to that tracks is all THAT benign, but for the most part, I agree. I was thinking it might have been a first step in a prank (like something that might not happen until the next Head of the Charles), but it's exactly the kind of joke that could get the joker Gitmo'ed.

Tom theorized it could be low budget terrorism- a way to disrupt without actual explosives and, um, death.

I forgot about that hack, Frank. But by and large, I don't think they'd be on this level.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Come on, people, more talking. I'm waiting on a training course that's loading about one percent every five seconds.

I do have questions about socks, if someone wants to talk clothes.
