It’s raining.
It’s currently 49° outside.
Not only that, today’s projected high is 60°F.
Yesterday’s high, according to The Weather Channel, was 92°.
Last night, after dinner, I stretched out on the couch for a bit. What I had intended to be a few moments’ rest turned (almost immediately) into a nap. Go figure. After watching CSI: and L&O:SVU, SaraRules and I watched Kingdom of Heaven. I had not watched it since its theatrical release, but remembered it to be a solid movie; I did not misremember it.
Stray Toasters
- A few minutes ago, a kid getting ready to catch the bus was humming the theme from Super Mario Bros. If you have to pick a theme song for the day, I suppose that’s not a bad one to choose.
- Morpheus has led me into strange corners of The Dreaming lately.
- From CNN: Commentary: Make wearing a flag pin the 28th Amendment
- Does this offend you? Why or why not?
- At lunch yesterday, Naked Eyes’ (There’s) Always Something There to Remind Me played over the sound system. Code Monkey, Scott and I remembered the song… but couldn’t name the band. We mentioned it to
and stumped him, too. Wikipedia to the rescue! What none of us knew was that the song was co-written by Burt Bachrach. In the ’60s. And the demo was recorded by Dionne Warwick. - Yes, the new iPhone will be on sale 09 June.
Time to finish getting ready and get on the way to work.
Namaste.

Doesn’t offend me…
I assume it’s satirical?—but I wonder how well it would really be received.
I have a guy here in the office that spent 2yrs in Mexico City on a mission. He believes the ad would work well there, probably bring a lot of smiles to faces.
(I’d hate to see what the Berlin (Germany) version looks like)
🙂
I thought I had read a couple of weeks ago that the ad was pulled almost immediately.
