I recently got a haircut, and my boss - filtered through his thick Argentinian accent - said it was either "economic", "ergonomic", or "aerodynamic". I couldn't understand which.

I think they all apply.

When I'm in charge, all restrooms are going to play loud music.

Because even if you don't like the song, it's still preferable to the other noises you'd hear.

My prediction for the next generation of laptop computers: Built-in LCD projectors. Aim the back of your 'puter to the wall and BANG! Instant cinema. Or for you business types, power point presentations.

v.2 of the built-in LCD: Bendy-lens (tm). Leave your computer flat on the table (instead of angling it up towards the wall) and just pull the bendy-lens (tm) out and point it to wherever blows your skirt up.

I want one already.

I've been drooling over this for a couple weeks now. The nice man at the mac store says that they won't ship until March.

Argh. I gotta get my mac on NOW! benlau won't be happy until he's bathed in his ambient keyboard light burning DVDs.

I'd rather be accused of making a lame pun than mis-spelling a word.

I get in the elevator by myself to go down to lunch. The doors open on the 6th floor. Two women get on, gabbing back and forth like stuck geese. One woman is holding something that is making a loud obnoxious electric noise; her cell phone.

We pass the second floor, headed for the lobby and she has yet to answer her phone. It still rings. My eyes get wide and my nerves get shot.

"Do you want me to answer that?" I ask cordially.

The two women stop talking. The phone stops ringing. The elevator doors open.

The same number of people I know who have seen the late night let's-make-fun-of-Catholicism-so-I'm-probably-not-going-to-get-most-of-the-jokes-anyway show at ACT equals the same number of people I know who will benefit from the repeal of the tax on corporate dividends.

Yay economy!

From the That Part Of The Job Looks Cool dept.

Looking out at the train tracks, I saw a utility truck zip down the line where the Sounder usually pulls in about three. The white truck stopped at the crossing, lifted it's metal rail wheels, and turned east on Royal Brougham.

I'm eating a shimp louis salad for lunch today I bought at the 5th Avenue Cafe yesterday.

It tastes alright, but I'll probably find out later if anything bad occured due to it being in my backpack for 7 hours.
