That tea maker is awesome, so it clearly should be yours, ita. And then post video of it working so I can ooh and ahh over the tea being moved around. So cool.

Good luck, Jilli, though it sounds as if you shouldn't need much!

I'm doing laundry! t /Tick Including folding the clean sheets that have been sitting in a basket in my bedroom for maybe two months. There's no reason for that kind of sloth, self.

good luck Jilli. Your fabulousness will knock them off their feets.

BTW, y'all have you heard "This American Life" this week? Ho-ly shit. I now know what a pissed Ira Glass sounds like. I mean he is fucking pissed. He is calm about it, but make no mistake, the man is pissed. For the WHOLE episode.

Whew.

And, good god, is it ever bonus-only material.

If I paid that much for a tea-maker, it would have to make the tea and bring it to me when I said "Earl Gray."

or when I clap twice.

le nub, I actually had to turn it off -- listening to Mike Daisey justify/rationalize his lies was making me cringe so hard I couldn't take it anymore.

Kate,

It really is incredible, isn't it? I am glad Ira Glass didn't punch him in the face!

I'd like someone to punch him in the face.

Skipping ahead to say I'm catching up on DVR'd shows, and just watched Good Wife (love that show), and then Smash-- and after seeing him as Colin Sweeney who is creepy as hell, it was really hard to believe him as a loving dad in Smash! I kept expecting there to be random acts of violence.

Seriously. And it pisses me off too because I think it's a topic that deserves serious journalistic inquiry, and this mess could just make it that much easier to dismiss any further reporting on problems with Apple's (or other companies') manufacturing practices abroad.

Yay laundry!

Oops, I have towels in the washer from this morning I forgot about, thanks!
