Pink Floyd

Pink Floyd's "Money" makes me move my head like I'm listening to classical music. Like a Beethoven symphony, I think. Hm.

Matthew Perry is younger than I am?

I just read in the paper that Matthew Perry turns 36 today.

OK, so it's only by about a year, but yeesh ...

Well, Happy Birthday, Matthew Perry!

Buy me a muzzle, please ...

OK, so a few minutes ago, the department manager came over looking to find a volunteer from our area to go to an important meeting today.

Today's our busy production day, so I told her: "Pick the (project) you don't need finished by the end of the day, and take someone from there."

(Mind you, I have no authority whatsover around here.) Luckily for me, she thought that was hilarious.

No baked fruit

I have a co-worker who won't eat baked fruit.
He thinks it's embarrassing that everyone in the office knows this about him.
Wait until he finds out it's on the Web...

Vanilla

It's official. I'm now a Slate junkie. They've got a fantastic story on vanilla today, though.

Gone, but not forgotten

Youngstown's strike paper, the Valley Voice Online, seems to have been removed from the Web. That was fast. (Seattle's strike paper, the Union Record, has been up for the nearly four years since the strike ended.)

Too much information

Here's a USA Today story on oversharing via e-mail, blogs, etc. I just enjoy the irony of linking to it from a blog.

"Applebees wants to shove a steak up my ass?"

That's my favorite line from this story about mismatched advertising jingles in Slate.

I really must stop reading Slate.

The history of ranch dressing

You know, I hate being so impressionable.

I've just read this story about ranch dressing in Slate, and now I can't wait until lunch so I can go get some ranch dressing.

I don't think I even really like ranch dressing all that much.

If loving ice cream is wrong, I don' t wanna be right

Have you heard about this new diet idea, where they trick you into thinking that certain foods once made you sick, so you'll avoid them?

I don't think this would work on me. I would have to start with the foods that really did once make me sick.
