It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

This would be a good time to post this song from this week's Flight of the Conchords-- for all former French students, megan, and bossa nova fans (Hec): [link]

I don't get youtube but I think that is the Foux Da Fa Fa song clip from this week's ep. Otherwise it's also here: [link]

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Oui.

What my neighborhood looks like now.

Holy crap! I'm glad you're all OK.

All the NYistas have checked in, right?

Okay it is currently 12 degrees COOLER in Las Vegas, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DESERT, than it is here.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Acutal comment received by my boss from a big wig this morning.

"Brenda was excellent to work with on BS."

Now, in this case that happens to be just the initials of the client in question. Which is not to say he didn't stumble on a bit of deeper truth there.

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

GEOFFREY MILLER is a man with a theory that, if true, will change the way people think about themselves. His idea is that the human brain is the anthropoid equivalent of the peacock's tail. In other words, it is an organ designed to attract the opposite sex. Of course, brains have many other functions, and the human brain shares those with the brains of other animals. But Dr Miller, who works at the University of New Mexico, thinks that mental processes which are uniquely human, such as language and the ability to make complicated artefacts, evolved originally for sexual display.

The study on altruism mentioned in the article was fascinating.

On my way to get some delicious beautiful food, I got caught in a gaggle of Spanish-speaking tourists wearing bejeweled cowboy hats.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Oooh, thanks for the Flight of the Conchords link, bon. I was just showing Emmett some clips including "Albi the Racist Dragon" and "Too Many Motherfuckers, Fucking Up My Shit" the other day.

OOH! Season 2 of the Muppet Show came out on DVD yesterday!

Also Rome S2 and Slings and Arrows S3 (a little while back) and something else I wanted to report but can't recall. Something we'd like!

Also also, there was some Canadian show with Callum Keith Rennie and the guy who played Darrin Nichols on Slings and Arrows that seemd to be worth mentioning. But I can't mention it because I can't recall the title.
