This is so cool....
Eddie Izzard's special gift
Eddie Izzard has given a private performance of his live show to a victim of the Mumbai terror attacks.
Will Pike had tickets to see the comic’s West End show, Stripped, before Christmas, but was unable to attend as he is recovering from serious injuries.
So his father, Nigel, asked Izzard if he would send a message of support to his bed-bound son at the South London spinal unit where he is being treated.
According to The Times, the comic decided to go much further, and performed the entire 90-minute routine at the hospital bedside. ‘It was a great thing to do,’ Nigel said.
Will, from Hampstead, North London, had attempted to flee the terrorists in the Taj Mahal hotel by climbing down from his hotel room using an improvised rope made from bedsheets. But it gave way, causing him to fall three storeys.
The 28-year-old broke three of his vertebrae, both his arms and shattered his pelvis and is still unable to move his legs.
Oh, that's really nice.
I just realized something kind of disturbing -- I've had a week of sleeping as much as I want, and I still slept nine hours last night! I think my New Year's Resolution should be to go to bed much earlier on weeknights.
word. I didn't go to bed until after 1 last night. Any wonder I want to sleep in? no. It makes me a grumpy grump.
Tomorrow is going to suck, isn't it?
I am actually looking forward to going back to work, my time off has sort of blown.
I'm so sorry you had such a crappy few weeks, Nora. I hope 2009 makes up for it.
What Perkins said. You haven't exactly been having relaxing nice vacation time!

I've been coming around to the same conclusion.
At least you guys have president's day. We have no holidays until Easter.
I do think I have two weeks of vacation to use before the end of March. Anyone want to go somewhere sunny with me?
We have no holidays until Easter.
Ouch. I get MLK Day in January, too!

Oh, that takes some of the sting off.
