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.
Oh thank God - a signage repair issue that I thought was going to be hanging over me like a cloud of doom for the next week and a half looks to be resolved with a minimum of fuss and pain.
I've gotten almost nothing done on stuff I'd originally intended to do today, but made enough headway on other tasks that I feel fairly productive.
Congrats Plei! I'm verra jealous.
Okay that tommyrot link? I am seriously going to just repress it. I'll sleep better that way.
Ugh. It's been my office hours week. I feel wrung dry right now. Forget the muffin, I need a drink.
Damn. I guess it's technically worksafe. But sensuous.
I am so in love with that woman's creativity. I want to marry it and have its babies.
I will console myself with a wheatfree lemon shortbread cookie.
Here's something from YouTube that is safe for work, and definitely Jilli-safe, too: an elephant that paints elephant pictures. I'm pretty damn astounded, seriously.
Oh, that lemon shortbread cookie sounds of teh yum!
Of course, I love anything lemon. Lemon lemon lemon.
Damn, now I want some lemonade, the real stuff with pulp.
That painting elephant is amazing. Wow.
Timelies all!
And now I'm hungry.(ok, I was hungry before I caught up on natter, but the talk of muffins and other yummy food isn't helping)
I was forced to go out and get a peanut butter cookie. Oh the humanity!
So, (not that it isn't cute, but) do we think the elephant can actually paint, aka recreate its surroundings, or that it's learned a trick, like putting a hat on a human?
Odd Chicago murder case:
A Lake Barrington man faked his own death by killing an Arlington Heights man and later shot and killed himself in a Missouri hotel room as authorities closed in, Lake County Sheriff Mark Curran said Thursday.
Ari Squire, 39, assumed the identity of his victim in an elaborate scheme, possibly to collect on a $5 million insurance policy to pay off a series of debts, Curran said.
A body found crushed under a pickup truck in Squire's Lake Barrington garage on Feb. 23 was not Squire, as authorities originally reported. Instead it was Justin Newman of Arlington Heights, 20, Curran said.
Squire swapped clothes and wallets with Newman and then burned the garage to stage his death, authorities said. Squire then ordered a credit card in Newman's name, and bought blue contacts and brown hair-coloring to match Newman's eyes and hair, authorities said.
The dude's wife was in on it. After his funeral, he emailed her to ask how many people showed up....
