Whatever happened to the paperless office?

I think I need to have a tag sale.

Coram Boy on Saturday

Thanks to free tickets, Weenie, Alien, Sneaky J and I went to seeCoram Boy on Broadway on Saturday night. It was definitely unusual but turned out to be really good. Going in, we knew nothing about the show, which may have been a mistake. If you're going to see a show that takes place in 1740 and features choral music sung by pre-pubescent boys played by women, you might want to know that going in. But after a slow start, the play finally got going with a gripping adventure story.

After the show, we stopped at the diner for eats. I haven't done that in years, which made me feel old.

How did Britney lose her skirt?

I understand that Britney has problems. And her fashion sense has never been great. But how is it that in some of these pictures she has lost her skirt?

Is it possible to watch this and not want one?

No one belongs here more than you.

No one belongs here more than you is one of the most endearing bits of self-promotion I've ever seen. It's also a very clever site, which made me want to buy the book. And isn't that the point? Author Miranda July's whiteboard storytelling is so endearing!

Time to spider technorati!

(Beer) Bread

(Beer) Bread, originally uploaded by phil_g.

Phil_g scanned and posted his mother's entire recipe collection. What an amazing labor of love. I might scan and post a few favorites, but it's also making me think of this great collection I found at an estate sale. It was someone's loving lifetime collection of recipes -- some handwritten, some clipped -- bound messily into a black notebook. I couldn't believe no one in the family of the deceased thought it was worth saving, and I felt like it needed rescuing. I also thought there would be some real gems in it. So of course I bought it. Now I'm thinking I need to go review it again, and look for some of those gems.

Street light in the rain

street light in rain, originally uploaded by Deluxx.

It rained, and rained, and rained. Last night and today. Seven and a half inches, they said. All the streets and parkways were flooded. I took this photo last night, through the window. I used the "aquarium" profile setting on the camera; it felt appropriate. The rain was sheeting down and the ground was completely saturated. Water puddled everywhere. I like the texture of the wet tree on the right.

Today I worked at home because of the flooding. I am behind on a project that is due Thursday (and I am going to be in an all-day meeting on Wednesday). I'm a little panicked. It's just so slow-going, this project. It's a very tedious subject. I have trouble getting motivated because I am just not interested.
