Aw, I went to bed and we moved on from kitten farts before I got up. Leifur seems to fart only when I'm making him do something he doesn't want to do (come inside, get out of the trash, etc.) As acts of retribution go, it could be worse. Especially now that spring is here and I can open the windows.
You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Ours seem far more likely to sneeze, and we've totally failed to teach them to put their paws over their noses.

Well, this is kind of nice I guess. From the intro letter with the release of my company's annual report last night from the CEO:
You will also read that, in asking our colleagues to make financial sacrifices to strengthen the firm in difficult times, I believe that I should do the same. So while our Board’s Compensation Committee offered me a significant performance bonus and restricted stock award for the firm’s accomplishments in 2008, I have respectfully declined the offer.

The president of our University is giving 30% of his salary back to the University and not taking a pay raise. I guess it is expected that University Presidents will give at least 15 % at any time, which I think is weird.

Now if they'd just get the football coaches to do the same thing, we'd be getting somewhere.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I am awake already, on my day off.
Why?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Uh-oh. Study: Tuesday At 11:45AM Is The Most Stressful Time Of Week
Researchers found that nearly half of British workers identified mid-morning on their second working day of the week as the moment when they were most under pressure.
Most workers coast through Monday getting their brain in gear and catching up with gossip from the weekend through social networking sites.
But on Tuesday reality sets in and staff spend the first part of the day going through emails they ignored on Monday before planning the week ahead.
And 11.45am is the point when everything comes to a head.

hey lisah! You should totally come to LA (for Thanksgiving!) so we can go to yoga together!
I would love to!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, my CEO is taking a bigger paycut than the rest of us -- and the least-paid people don't have any paycut at all, which I think is really great. You know, "great" in context.

I wonder if Jesse and bon bon know that Pat Kiernan is Canadian. A friend on another site posted that she was, some time ago, at a "Canadians in the media" reception held at the Canadian consulate office in NY, and Pat Keirnan was there. Malcolm Gladwell was also there, and very excited to see Pat Kiernan, but too shy to actually go up and speak to him.
And do they know that he's taking his morning papers on the web: [link]
