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).

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

Sleepbox 01 by Arch Group

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)

I have all kinds of geeky t-shirts. Seriously. This is one I wear around town all the time.

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.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Oh god. Stomach is filled with angry hornets.

Yeah, I was wondering that. Maybe folks in India were just asked a yes/no question?

You could swallow a spider to catch the hornets....

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I put on a black skirt and a teal top this morning and was looking for a cardigan, and then remembered that the skirt is part of a suit. So I wore the matching jacket too and therefore I am in a suit today.

Coincidentally enough, I'm having lunch with a former coworker who might be willing to hire me (if I'm willing to apply).

My subconscious keeps better track of my schedule than I do.

Yeah, maybe India got the abbreviated version? That's funny. There are no grey areas in India! Or, for this chart, yellow and seafoam green.

I've got nothing for the why on French cows and American jazz.
