Silly Site o' the Day

I was so busy passing along news of Beatles Day on Friday that I forgot to mention - RUN, run for your lives! The Beatles were actually terrifying! Just look:



Via George (not Paul, John or Ringo) at the Comedy Central blog.

Just wondering, is every video the Upright Citizens Brigade does very male and pretty much very white?

Friday Cat Blogging (™ Kevin Drum)

Apparently something's up with the side of our house that faces Yonkers; the cats haven't been able to get enough of the computer room window.



Ohhh-kay, that's a tail, but whose?



Oh, of course, Amy, whose tail is about half her total length. This was yesterday.



And then Datsa got into the act today.

By the way, if you haven't read this post by Amanda about cats, it's absolutely spot-on and highly recommended.

Silly Site o' the Day

You know there are some days when you just want to be in a newsroom? I'd love to be able to hang out at the Liverpool Echo today. Today is the second annual Beatles Day, which to all intents and purposes seems to be sponsored by the paper although they're not actually listed as one of the official sponsors. Seems like everyone had a good time, and it's all to raise money for charity. Good on them!

Bloglines is down at the moment, so I'm spending my lunch break perusing Japanese rice field art, 'cause that's the kinda gal I'm.

Silly Site o' the Day

I would like, if I may, to present the following listing of select channels on our cable system:

1 New York 1 News
2 WCBS New York (CBS)
4 WNBC New York (NBC)
5 WNYW New York (FOX)
6 WXTV Paterson (Univision)
7 WABC New York (ABC)
11 CW11 New York (CW-WPIX)
12 News 12 The Bronx
16 WNJU Linden (Telemundo)
19 WRNN Kingston (IND)
23 MSNBC
25 CNN
26 FOX News Channel
51 E!
52 VH1
53 MTV
54 BET
77 CNN Headline News
103 EuroNews
104 BBC World News
186 VH1 Classic
189 VH1 Soul
194 NY1 Noticias

Robin compiled this list yesterday. It's all the channels that showed the Michael Jackson memorial service live. And that's not even counting other markets or the millions of internet viewers. Overkill, a testament to the most famous and notorious entertainer in the world, or both?

Regardless, der Untergang has been at it again:



Via Xeni at BoingBoing.

Silly Site o' the Day

Well, it looks like someone is having fun with money at work (via BoingBoing). Me, I'm having fun making money from working. With the real unemployment rate (and I'm not even sure that includes freelancers like Robin who are between assignments but aren't eligible for unemployment insurance) hitting almost 17%, I'm darn grateful, too!

Silly Site o' the Day

Back to the land of go-getting young adults who prowl Manhattan's streets and never look up from texting! Wonder if any of them made Texts From Last Night (via Robert at Lawyers, Guns & Money); wouldn't surprise me a bit.

Belated Friday Cat Blogging (™ Kevin Drum)

Oops, forgot to post these on Friday. Time to clean out the camera!





For whatever reason, Datsa was fascinated by the area around my printer this week.

Silly Site o' the Day

I spent a lot of the day in bed yesterday, elevating my legs and plowing through lots of indie (non-Marvel/DC) comics, which "category" I may just finish today. Then of course there's a desired blogaround if I ever catch up on reading all my blog subscriptions. I only have a half dozen tops to iron, my earring holder's on the computer desk waiting for me to file about a dozen pairs that I've worn in the past month or so (never mind, I did that between typing sentences), and those linen closet shelves aren't going to reorganize themselves. Robin keeps trying to get me to stop "doing stuff" and just relax, but I'm honestly not sure that's possible. Besides, "doing stuff" does relax me, in a way, particularly reading. In any case, it beats the risk of aggravating my ankle; lord knows I do enough walking during the week!

Meanwhile, Sarah Haskins is being productive by talking about hair:



Is it really that good an idea to advertise long hair in the summer anyway?

Happy Independence Day to my fellow Americans! Me, I'm still dependent on a particular Brit, but never mind all that. Um, here:



Don't ask, and I won't tell.

Silly Site o' the Day

Good morning! Yeah, Datsa woke me up for his feeding time, but I conked again, it being a vacation day, and slept fitfully until... holy moly, 1:30 PM?! Still trying to wake up enough to do a few errands. Hoping the effects of a hot cup of tea will counterbalance baseball. Apparently they're wearing the red "ooh-ess-eh" caps in honor of July 4, which it isn't. But that's Amurka for you, we not only insist on wearing faux patriotism on our sleeves, but we're proud of our inability to count as well. There, now I'm awake. And YouTube knows what I like: Michael Gregory of the "Auto-Tune the News" gang and his latest:



Dang, that's catchy! And kitschy too!
