I'm feeling all tired and discombobulated.

I think having caffeine at 4 pm is NOT a good idea.

In what may only be funny to myself and fellow workers at my company, our "company medical officer, (name), has contracted the swine flu..."

we are coming up with departmental equivilents: our head trader gave his cow for a bag of magic beans.

our head of HR is being sued for harrassment.

Where is everyone?

Having a Morning. Bad sleep. Cat poosplosion. Upstairs neighbor either sleeping through or leaving without turning off alarm. Beep beep beeeep. Cold. Rainy. Head full of gunk. Missed last express bus by 15 seconds. Googly-eyed kissyface couple sitting next to me on bus when I hadn't had coffee yet.

I love the bit with Princess Margaret....

A Classic Brit Obit

It's of Danny La Rue, one of the most successful drag queens of all time:

Beneath huge headdresses and decked out in sequin-studded gowns, La Rue in his heyday would don specially-designed creations of beaded pink lace and tulle with trains of ostrich feathers up to 20ft long. Thus glorified, he became one of the best-loved professional cross-dressers of his time.

But throughout his career, La Rue took every opportunity of stressing that he was nothing more than a “fella in a frock”. Despite admitting that dressing as Shirley Bassey or Dorothy Squires “wasn’t natural really”, La Rue was at pains to point out that he never did anything “tasteless, never anything offensive”. This view was perhaps not shared by Princess Margaret who, on a backstage visit to the number one dressing room, knocked on the door only to have a stark naked La Rue throw it open and shout “Piss off!”

“I was mortified,” La Rue later recalled, “I thought she was Peter Sellers messing about.”

Guitar Kitty takes advantage of the strumming hand.

I'm Gud - I can dick around on the internet most of the day at work and only feel mildly guilty

That's pretty much where I'm at, although b.org is pretty much the total of my Internet activity during the day.

Improv Everywhere throw a surprise wedding reception for a couple getting married at City Hall.

That made me tear up on my way into a meeting! I always cry at weddings...

Okay, I was just in our lunch room and there were several people in there who had never heard of Jon Stewart, The Daily Show or Stephen Colbert. I can understand not being able to stay up and watch them, but surely you would have heard about them elsewhere...like when Stewart hosted the Oscars or when Colbert trashed W. at the Correspondent's Dinner.

That wedding reception is adorable. It's like all they wanted to do was spread a little happy.
