I've been trying something new lately. Last Wednesday I had my first (and second) cup of coffee, and while I still maintain that it tastes like pennies, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't pleased with its speedy qualities.

I have this sort of nagging guilt when I drink it, though. I feel like I'm going to have copper breath for eternity and that my teeth are soon going to turn this horrible shade of burnt umber, and every coffee-less morning for the rest of my life will be plagued by a headache which rivals the birth of the goddess Athena from the head of the great Zeus. I'm truly faced with a life (and possibly tooth) altering decision.

Mr. [An attorney I work for] has generously donated his ham to the WP office. It’s on the kitchen table along with bread and condiments.

Seasons Greetings, Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, etc……

Is it a kosher ham?

I just got a phone call from the administrator asking me not to make jokes about religious sensitive topics.

I've been contemplating getting up and making some soup for the last hour or so, but was put off by the thought of having to make not one but two trips to the kitchen (the initial trip and then the microwave pickup).

So I compromised and ate it cold.

I wasn't born a dork - I'm not sure where I picked it up. I used to pride myself on not having seen the first two Lord of The Rings movies in the theatres. I eventually got around to watching them on dvd, just to see what the hullaballoo was all about, and now here I am purchasing tickets for the midnight showing of the final installment, Return of The King, on opening night (next Wednesday at 12:01am). I'm not even remotely fazed by the three hour forty two minute running time; in fact, I'm excited about it. I'm finally getting my money's worth from a trip to the movies.

Rumsfeld's quote: "Reports that say something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know," Rumsfeld told a press briefing. "We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns -- the ones we don't know we don't know."

Uma Thurman (from Kill Bill Vol 1): "I want you to tell him all the information you just told me. I want him to know what I know. I want him to know I want him to know. And I want them all to know they'll all soon be as dead as O-Ren."

Was this a press conference or a botched attempt on Rumsfield's behalf to try and connect with the hip Quentin Tarantino crowd?
