Ok. Who stole my semi-motivation to work today?

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Shir, I think your motivation and mine might have run off to Aruba.

Without us.

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

I'm at work. I just finished my Egg McMuffin.

I think it's time for a nap.

On the plus side, it's getting light out!

Stop Making Movies About my Books, by Dr. Seuss.

Why it's simply an outrage—a crime, you must judge!—
To crap on my books with this big-budget sludge.
My books are for children to learn ones and twos in,
Not commercialous slop for Jim Carrey to ruin.

Has anyone here had problems with NPR podcasts this week? Both Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me and Car Talk were only partial files. So I deleted them and downloaded again, and this time the files are even shorter. For a second I thought maybe work was blocking my ability to download large files, but then all 40 mins. of the Savage Love podcast is there.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, I didn't get all of Wait, Wait this week, or all of TAL last week. Annoying!

Strange, I got all of TAL.

But now I have nothing to listen to on the bus!

I wonder if it's some kind of funding drive, "And with your pledge of $20 or more, you'll get the second half of Car Talk."

Come on, people! Check out the Muppets blooper reel! It involves Beaker....

DAMMIT. I fell for it.

But is IS Beaker!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I want to read a piece of futurism and technology as depicted in visual sci-fi. About where people let their brains go (communicators, transporting) and didn't (no dynamic data screens, traditional gender roles) and why--budget? Current technology? Culture?

Ooh, me too. Someone should write that. And then send me a link.
