Isn't Ryanair the airline that recently flew with a window "fixed" with duct tape? (Leading to an emergency landing since apparently duct tape isn't the best way to "fix" a window ON AN AIRPLANE.)
The first time I heard of Ryanair was several years ago, when either they first started or they were started some big new publicity campaign, where they offered free airfare to anyone named Ryan. Apparently they hadn't actually bothered to figure out how many people there are in Ireland named Ryan, and they ended up losing a bunch of money on it. I think they'd expected to get money from all the other people traveling with the Ryans.
Fay just told me on Facebook that she found Cold Kiss in Bangkok!
Wow! You international star!
I just mentioned it on Twitter, and the foreign rights person at my agency was like, "ENGLISH LANGUAGE, I HOPE?!" Meaning unlicensed translations are a bad thing, but I assume it was in English, so. Yeah, pretty cool!
Well, and unlicensed translation means they think you're a cool money making proposition, but it is no fair. Compliments should come with cash.
Fuck I forgot to email in working from home. Gnargh. I usually like to do that before 7:30, when I know.
Yeah, that's what the foreign rights chick was worried about.
Can you do the presentation from home, too?
FDNY is reporting a suspicious package outside. They're telling us to move away from the windows on one side of the building. Not sure if it is OWS related.
"You're occupying a student lounge? With couches and heat and a coffee shop and a food court? Whatever."
Someone should tell those reporters that the point of occupying is not actually suffering. I've been to demonstrations outdoors in beautiful spring whether that included picnic food, plumbed bathrooms in the park, and performance by celebrity musicians. No one thought that made the demonstration less valid. Occupying even a very comfortable place sharing a space with dozens of others for days on end represents a hell of a lot more effort than that Sunday in the park which got a fair amount of coverage.
Stay safe, Tom.
My DH will be at OWS this afternoon doing a teach-in on the arms trade treaty.
