fubar…
The email system at work is utterly screwed. Has been for days. My desk is a big mess as well. I’m about to go into three days of nonstop admissions interviews. Had an important insight this week about the dynamic around the office and the role I adopt in it, and it doesn’t make me… Continue Reading
Meme Genesis….
Today thornyc reminded me that pretty much anything is better with googly eyes, leading me to make the following challenge: Show me your googlies! below are a virtual pair of googly eyes. Apply them as you see fit and post the results in your journal. Let the googliness begin! No tags for this post.
But there were tacos….
The only thing that really made me pay attention to last night’s Oscar cast was the footage of Bette Davis announcing Marlon Brando’s win in a demented outerspace pixie outfit. It made me love her so much. Tilda’s speech was OK, but I wish she’d have thanked Derek Jarman as much as her American agent…. Continue Reading
Two things that make me happy…

The hotel at which I am staying…
Big, fluffly snow outside. The cab driver I had last night quizzed me about my presidential choice and then we talked about the surprise of the of the Pakistani election results. He told me he was happy that Musharraf didn’t steal the election, but that he didn’t like Bhuttoh’s husband. He’s been driving a cab… Continue Reading
