It seems like so many capital letters! If only this document were frickin' consistent.

At least I am in good company with the "no-ping" on the Holmes bondage pic.

msbelle, I detest cover letters too. It drives me crazy that they are a necessary requirement in the job hunt these days. You want a cover letter for an overview of my resume? Fer Christ's sake, the resume is an overview of my career. You'd be reading less if you just read the goddamned resume.

I am not happy with my clothes for today, and now I'm sitting in the room while the housekeeping lady changes the bed and stuff, and it's kind of awkward. Why couldn't she have come when I was elsewhere? Which was a lot of the morning, and will be a bunch of the afternoon? Ah well. The life of a high-flying executive? Not so much.

I hate that, and it's a big reason why I overpack for business trips. What if it's a day when everything I put on makes me feel fat? What if I packed in the dark and the jacket I wanted to wear has a stain that I didn't see before? Yeah, I may have issues.

Inevitably, housekeeping comes in to clean my hotel room when I'm on the phone. If I'm going to be in the room during the day, I usually just put the DND hanger on the doorknob.

I hate that, and it's a big reason why I overpack for business trips.

I will next time, for sure. Or at least only bring things that I know I feel awesome about.

Alas, someone "helpful" in my journal has commented that the Sherlock picture is indeed a manip.

I was kind of happier not knowing. So I've come here to tell you all.

That? Is a damn good shopping job.

I don't even get how that's shopped. It's brilliant.

Ha! Anonymous slaps the WBC for using them for publicity.

[A]s you may have heard, we trade in Lulz. You just do not have enough to offer right now. While Anonymous thanks you for your interest, and would certainly like to take a break and have some fun with you guys, we have more pressing matters to deal with at the moment. But, we will keep this application on file, and will certainly contact you if any openings become available in future.

Then, during a radio interview with one Anon (today, I think), the WBC downloads page was hacked. [link] And shortly after their whole site was down, I assume as a result of the above. So complicated!

Speaking of Cumberbatch.

Oooh, I think that series is playing at my local theatre.

Emmett's friend Jake slept over last night (it's ski week), so I had to feed two teenage boys breakfast this morning. Eggs, bacon, biscuits... it just went on and on.

They've been having a Steve Carrell marathon: Anchorman last night, Little Miss Sunshine this morning.

Hope for the new generation: in the scene in Little Miss Sunshine where Richard (Greg Kinnear - the father) is pressuring Olive (his young daughter) not to eat ice cream because he thinks she's too chubby, both boys were railing at him.

"Richard is such a dick!"

"Shut up Richard!"

This is depressing:

10 Agribusiness Methods That Could Fail in the Next 20 Years.

Especially this:

10) Chocolate
It's nature's anti-depressant, but within 20 years, chocolate may be the new caviar, warns the Ghana-based Nature Conservation Research Council. Says director John Mason: "[Chocolate] will become so rare and so expensive that the average Joe just won't be able to afford it." It's not just that rising demand is outstripping supply of chocolate, which is grown on cacao trees. It's also the fact that chocolate growers in Ghana and other countries have gone over to methods that are quicker, but doomed to failure all too soon.

Noooooooooo!!!
