I don't think I've ever tried to get out of a staff meeting. I'm not sure how mandatory ours are though. I mean for the one I run, I imagine I am a must have (also I am the keeper of The Spreadsheet without which all kinds of chaos occurs). We used to have a staff meeting that was likely mandatory, but I always wanted to go because a) I like my team b) they were actually pretty entertaining and c) they often came with lunch.
My creative meeting on Tuesdays is one of my favorite meetings in the history of meetings and that includes a mexican food and tequila fueled brainstorming session.
While hunting for Haiti news I came across this story about a Jamaican Muslim hate cleric soliciting killing Jews and Hindus. How special. Somehow he managed to get tangled up in shenanigans--one of his supporters was killed by Kenyan police. The Kenyan authorities are having trouble deporting him because either no one will accept him or no one will fly him.

My boss's daughter is about 18 and she has a friend in Haiti. She just heard from her friend, who is homeless, has no food and is sleeping amongst corpses. The friend's father was out of Haiti during the quake and is trying to find a way back - I think he's trying to hitch a ride on a military plane.
I can't even imagine what the woman is going through....

The horror. It's like experiencing that scene in Un Chien Andalou over and over and over and...
That is awful Tommy.
I am relieved that my former roommate finally received confirmation that everyone in her family is safe and sound with food and water for a few days still.

If it's the Andalou scene I think you are referring to, I am so not clicking on that link.
Well, think needle instead of razor blade, and you've got it.
Tattooed eyeballs, people. Shitting you, I am not.
Ignoring the disturbing eyeball talk to say...
Happy birthday, msbelle!!
NO NO NO NO NO.
In less disturbing imagery, AMC ranks the Top Ten Fantasy Duels.
