Cell phone/changing room
This is totally awesome.
People actually used it too – a small, lockable, private room in a public place? Amazing! No “look at my feet” slot under the door either, no evidence of a camera in the room. There was a small desk and power for a laptop and if you were having a noisy conversation or needed to change you could lock yourself in.
It wasn’t completely soundproof, so not quite the unguarded utility closet of Six Feet Under, but still a very nice asset and productivity was enhanced by other people using it rather than entertaining me with their conversations.
Central Park in the Snow
Snow falling on Central Park from the 24th floor.
Hand dryer FAIL
Gross standing water filled with soap scum, bacteria, and stink is hardly a hygienic improvement.
Successful TV surgery!
John and I swapped parts from two he found and got one that worked and a collection of moar parts!
Snowmaggeddon
a snowy arrival in BOS
But not exactly snowmaggeddon. By the time we got there it was easy to get around.
Could This Have Anything To Do With It?
Why isn’t my graphics card working any more? Could it be that the fluff has escaped from the cans? The alien chest bursters have fled their little cages? Nobody’s left to paint the pixels except that one, and it’s only still there because it was always the lazy one.
Update: I got the caps but my solder sucker exploded so I had to replace it before continuing. Those springs go a long way…
Update 2: Fixed.
eat pray love
I get the Julia Roberts is a hot chick, even at her current age, but why… why are they showing Eat Pray Love on the airplane? She’s pretty enough, but the “eat” part is disgusting. Close ups of people eating is a standard trope for illustrating how revolting the super villain is, not a mechanism to make the pretty people seem sensual.
OK, maybe an ice cube is sensual, but stuffing pizza in a huge mouth on screen is just gross. No wonder the movie failed; without sound, this whole movie is Julia Roberts stuffing her gigantic mouth.
Gaylords is the coolest!
