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]

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

Just in case a Segway isn't goofy enough for you....

I've got so many bruises. The chaos at home is making me so clumsy. I've tripped over the dishwasher door twice and smacked the top of my foot into it (maybe I should keep it closed?) fell over inexplicably in the closet yesterday, wobbled taking off my coat last night and nailed myself on the doorknob....I know they talk about pregnancy clumsiness, how about moving clumsiness?

Oh yeah, he's like Mr. Canadian. As far as NYC television news personalities go...

I am trying to be more politic and less shit-talking, so I just said (about a senior coworker), "She's....very enthusiastic." Heh.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

sara, you're tired, stressed, and living in chaos. It's understandable - take a few deep breaths, try to take things slowly. And closing the dishwasher door is probably a good idea.

I suppose the obvious joke is, "If having a pillow is criminal, only criminals will have pillows."

DETROIT (AP) Police in Detroit have ruffled some feathers after they cracked down on an organized pillow fight at a downtown park.

The Detroit News reports that police at Campus Martius Park prevented the feathery fight Saturday by disarming pillow-toting participants. The bout was part of a worldwide event organized on social networking Web sites.

Michael Davis of Hamtramck says police confiscated the 32-year-old man's pillows but returned their cases. He says he was told that he needed a permit.

Scott Harris of Ferndale told the News that it's "not illegal to own a pillow."

Detroit police spokesman James Tate says cleanup was the issue.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

The CPD were arresting people involved in the pillow fight, most likely because they were making the city look bad while the IOC is in town looking at the Olympic potential sites.
