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.
it's so unsettling to realize how little we really know about the people we work with.
I was just having this conversation with someone recently. It is quite scary how little we tend to know about the people we work with.
Ahhhhhhhh, the earworm. Make it stop!
Huh.
I thought there was this whole Giant-Papier-Mache-Chekov's-Ear thing...
...
Just me then. Carry on, nothing to see here. Move along. Move along.
Re: the primary season that never ends...
One idea that I keep seeing floating around the blogosphere is that if the Dems enter the convention with Hillary and Obama essentially tied (which is looking more and more likely), that the party might draft Al Gore as a sort of unity candidate.
Leaving aside the issue of whether it'll happen and whether he'd say yes...would this be a good thing? I'm torn. I'd certainly vote for him in a heartbeat--if he'd been in the race, he would've been my first choice. But would there be anything remotely democratic about having a nominee who wasn't on the primary ballot?
I am humbled by this woman. Every day she managed to pick her camera up and do something with it.
I have big Al Gore love, but I think the chances of this are about zero. Then again my history of predicting these things is pretty close to zero too.

That is a great set. As is yours! I only managed about a week. Maybe I'll try again this summer when things are calmer.
Wow. She takes great photos, light and shadow contrast, and interesting composition. I can't even take pictures of other people like that, much less timed self-portraits.
Every day she managed to pick her camera up and do something with it.
Amazing. I feel like I should get my camera out and at least try.
Timelies all!
I could contribute some Jonathan Coulton songs to the earworm discussion. (We're going to see him Friday, so I fully expect to have a number of his songs stuck in my head afterwards)
