'Beneath You'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Do You Think Most People Try to Take Advantage of You?
This chart shows the result of (one question in) survey conducted by the World Values Survey (WVS) about Perceptions of Life: Do you think most people would try to take advantage of you if they got a chance, or would they try to be fair?
Results are by country. There's huge variation.
This Idris Elba song/video made me smile just now: [link]
Cat AWW moment, Connie!
I rarely wear t-shirts with anything on them, although I do own a few geeky t-shirts.
I'm back to summer clothes, as we're back to highs in the 90s.
The Colbert Report came to my city: [link] I think they generally did a good job of "laughing with" rather than at. Lots of trying not to smile from the reporter. I especially like the State Climatologist (who just got fired by the governor, apparently for believing in global warming, oh Georgia).
Russian architects Arch Group have completed the first of their tiny hotel rooms for napping at airports.
The Sleepbox unit at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo airport contains two beds and can be rented for between 30 minutes and several hours.
From the folks who designed it:
Imagine the situation where you are in a modern city, you are not a local resident, and you have not booked a hotel. It is not a comfortable situation because modern aggressive cities give you no opportunity to rest and relax. If you want to sleep while waiting for your plane or train, you face many security and hygiene problems.
There really needs to be Sleepboxes everywhere....
The cows watching american jazz was interesting, but...why?
I am wearing jeans and a navy cami and a navy swoopy t-shirt material cardigan thingie. Yay, working from home.
Boo, however, on working. I decided (at, um, 9:40AM) that I needed a break. Also, my boss is asking for annoying things that I don't want to do (even if they are something I am supposed to do, i am against doing them in the timeline she wants)
Lovely dress, Sue.
I have all kinds of geeky t-shirts. Seriously. This is one I wear around town all the time.
hey, it makes me smile.
tommyrot,
that graph is CRAZY. The folks in India are NO JOKE. They either believe that people are basically good or they don't. That was the craziest bipolar distribution I have ever seen. Makes me wonder if there is an error.
Oh god. Stomach is filled with angry hornets.
