I love how the function keys (the top row) have roman numerals.

That's incredibly cool

ION, we have Children in the office today. They are not office-trained. There is yelling and running. That is Not Cool.

Better spread around some kitty litter.

Don't you mean kiddy litter?

I'm afraid that's the cars and dolls and whatnot that now seem to be scattered around the office.

I adore that keyboard

I also adore Craig Ferguson. He never makes any bones on his show about how he was an idiot with the alcohol back in the day. He makes it seem funny instead of preachy. His recent interview with Peter O'Toole was something else, with both of them discussing the things they probably don't remember while under the influence. Plus O'Toole started talking about one time he was in Scotland, Ferguson said, "I'm from there! Did you see the whatzit?" and you could just hear the LA udience going, "Oh, god, they're going UK old home week up there." I loved it because, well, Peter O'Toole, being sardonic, and Ferguson, going "I'm talking to Peter O'Toole!"

I think admitting you were and are an alcoholic who considered suicide is an embarrassing personal admission, not a boast.

I see the discussion of himself as separate from his revelations and how he plans to handle certain celebrities from now on. I admit, the first time I heard about this, the alcoholism was redacted. So that colours it, although I'm trying to adjust--certainly the bulk of that twelve minutes was about himself.

I don't consider the admission embarassing myself. Difficult to make, perhaps, but not embarassing. This may be the result of coming to know people who say simply "I can't take that class. I have a meeting." And it's just that. They have a problem, they have meetings. End of drama.

But onto the celeb thing. I think it's incredibly weird for a celeb to suddenly realise other celebrities are people. You or I might think we'll never meet any, and can treat them as a separate species in our heads and in our speech (although I refuse to, adamantly). But he's one of them. That admission irritates me,

He made fun of his rehab roommate in his spiel. Britney's out of bounds because she's not sober yet? What makes them different from each other?

Most irritating of all, though, was his audience that laughed when he'd told them he wasn't making jokes. They just waited for space and then laughed. It took way too long for them to get the point.

As for K Fed being funny and Britney not...I'm still not sure why. I have no reason not to think he's a fucked up piece of work that is toxic (no pun intended) to himself and people around him. I just don't get the same air of pathos.

I kind of like this picture of the post-Mastiff destruction.

Someone needs to make one of those "I'm in ur hous, eatin ur hous" kinds of captions.

Weirdly aggravating exchange with a customer:

I have that exchange at least 3 or 4 times a day. I think that people don't have in their heads what they want, and are kinda waiting for us to guess, so they fill in that empty space where they should be relating what exactly in the hell it is they need with overly polite small talk.

It wastes my time.

" Hi Daisy how are you? Good. Good. Good. Y'all busy there today?" I mean it's this whole chit chat thing with someone who hasn't even told me his name yet, or said anything that would indicate a reason for the call or why he's being so familiar with me and OH MY GOD GET TO THE FUCKING POINT ALREADY!
