ION, the Swiss entry from the 2007 Eurovision song contest is a trainwreck of beauty. Somebody should do a BtVS crackvid to it...
Natter 63: Life after PuppyCam
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.
Hat trick!
In case my office doesn't turn all the TVs we have to the inauguration ceremony, where would be the best place to watch it online, do you think?
c-span.com?
Yesterday, I was saying to a coworker that I hoped we would put the TV on in the conference room for the Inauguration, and just as I walked out of her office, we got a meeting request for that very thing! Good times.
I'm pretty sure our TVs will all be showing it, but I want to have a backup in case I have actual work to do at the same time!
I think the real question here is, did you know the word spondee before? (Like a dog with a bone, I am.)
Yes, but I teach poetry and poetic meter. And while we are on that topic, let's give a little love to anapest, dactyl and trochee!
Is it my imagination, or have there been any Inaugurations during the TV era that were basically all-day Special News Events before this one? Or was the fact that I was basically hiding under my bed moaning during the last two making this one seem so much different?
I've wondered the same.
From the "crime makes you stupid" files (bold mine):
Police have arrested a Greenfield man for allegedly arranging to sell his 14-year-old daughter into marriage in exchange for $16,000, 100 cases of beer and several cases of meat.
Police said they only learned of the deal after the 36-year-old man went to them to get his daughter back because payment wasn't made as promised. The man was arrested Sunday on suspicion of human trafficking.
