Working really puts a crimp in several of my favorite activities, including my flickr problem habit. Just knowing that the photobooth clusters exist is reason enough to dedicate more time I don't have to looking at pictures of people I don't know. I need money to finance these little hobbies, though, so that should help me focus. A little.
Matthew's at it again over at Defective Yeti, and like I said the other day (I at least waited a couple of days, really...) he's just a funny guy. His recent audiovisual report on the overfriendliness of bank machines was just the laugh I needed after the Emmy's tonight. No Jason Bateman? Are they kidding me? Kiefer Sutherland beating Martin Sheen? What? The West Wing was one of the best shows ever, and although I know better than to expect anything (and really, why would I?) from a Hollywood awards show, still...Lisa Moraes from the Washington Post blogged the show, and caught some of the funnier and more compelling quotes from the sidelines (sounds like she's in California.) This is my favorite:
"Female reporter to Barry Manilow: "They say music is the soundtrack of your life. What song.. do you look back at to remind you of tonight?"
Manilow: "Don't Give Up" by Peter Gabriel. (Answer: "Don't Give Up" by Peter Gabriel).
Earlier, a female reporter to Jeremy Irons: "What is the best advice anyone ever gave you?"
Irons: "Soldier on."
Irons looks at female reporter who somehow looks even more vacant than usual.
Irons: "Do you understand what I mean?"
Reporter: "Not at all."
I try to stay away from Perez Hilton, because it makes me feel like I need a shower after I read it, but I have to admit that this comment about the newest Britney Spears photo made me smile:
"SE VE BONITAAA AUNQUE PARESE DE BABY DOLL SU VESTIDITO, PERO EN SI ESTA BONITA, YA LA VEO MAS SONRIENTE, ALTO TRAMA ESTA MUCHACHITA, ME GUSTA SU SOMBRERO"
He loves her cowboy hat, people! Leave her the hell alone!
And lastly, another theft from Tracey. They've taken down the Steven Seagall page that she links to in the middle (he's got a new cd out, don'tcha know) but the Armor of God pjs are just what every good little soldier should have to start out the school year, and bacon bars - well, there you have those.
