*best* last line from an email regarding a virus someone sent me
"Please don't blame me or the person who gave it to me. I became really pissed when I found out I got infected, but now realize the real loser is the one who created the virus in the first place. "


damn mice
if you didn't see the cruel.com site of the day AND you have ever had a mouse problem, be sure to check it out now. no, not later. now. go. now.


so, my day job, other than doing some sort of websheet thing (the new, post Y2K term for webpage) is catching the mice that poop on valerie's desk and climb into mike's garbage can. the results so far have been very disheartening if we ever plan to win this battle. one mouse was caught in the trap, and tv caught one that had climbed into his garbage can (see tv. see mouse.). otherwise, the mice have cleverly been eating the bait off the traps without even setting them off. wtf! maybe new york city mice are more clever than i expected. maybe i need to outwit them... think like the mouse. eat like the mouse. become the mouse.
(look out valerie)


my mouse catching theory is still that the ol' domesticated kitty does a better job. at home, the cat has caught more than our traps did -and- it's real fun to watch a real life discovery channel show in your kitchen (imagining that she is a lioness, and the mice are those annoying gazelle). when cats are in that 'kill mode', it's a good show in my book.

i should just bring the cat in to work one day over the weekend and let her hunt. that might be fun.


geetar man
there is this guy who plays guitar in the subway station i go to every morning. the thing is that he just just stands there and fidgets, or plays 3 seconds of something, and then sips his soda. over and over again. every morning. i fear he may not know how to play at all.



manamid
scott bought a domain for his band manamid, and we were discussing what he should title all the pages...

  • manamid: thank you for checking out our interwebsheet
  • manamid: the best website ever
  • manamid: rich totally so hates us

    the latter being because i apparently don't express my opinion very well when people send me their band's new songs to listen to. i tend to reply with something along the lines of "nice." which scott thinks means i hate his band, which i don't, but at this point it's kind of our running joke.



    imdb ads
    i love the ads on the side of IMDB.com's pages. they always have 'celebrities' in a little collage format, and naturally the women's photos are cropped so you can see their breasts, where as the men are usually just head shots. i mean, that is usually because the men are wearing suits, but it's still kind of funny. reminds me of the boobie-centric movie posters of the late 90's teen flick... my favorite being the jennifer love hewitt (and others) movie ones where boobies were basically one of the characters if you judged it by the real estate they took up
    see. again. there ya go. and again
