yucky.

last night, i dreamt that i was at work. i dreamt that a new lawyer was working in the office next to me as an Of Counsel--specifically, the lead singer of Duran Duran. in the dream he had gotten very old and weathered, but he still thought he was hot stuff and a consummate ladies' man, and was hitting on me to no end.

whatever part of my subconscious gave me that dream, i want to find it, burn it out of my brain, and throw it away. that dream gives me the heebie-jeebies.

time's up...stand up...and face the muzak...

according to the latest Standard and Poor's rating, Muzak Holdings LLC has a credit rating of CCC-, with a negative outlook. in non-finance terms, that basically means that they're vulnerable to start defaulting on paying back their debt, and are unlikely to stay current on their obligations if economic conditions aren't favourable.

please tell me i'm not the only one who is rooting for Muzak to go bankrupt. for all of that crappy elevator "music" of theirs i've had to put up with over the years, this is the least they deserve in retaliation.

blago speech liveblog

this is my liveblog of rod blagojevich's closing argument at his senate trial. it isn't very coherent, but it's the random thoughts and rants that popped into my head in response to things he said.

( i have nothing to say and i am saying it and i am rod blagojevich. )

and, that's it. he only talked for forty-five minutes. i expected him to use the full ninety that he was allotted...i am pleasantly surprised. still, forty-five minutes of him saying nothing and evading the entire pay-to-play issue is more than enough.

bleeping golden

this is state senator James Meeks. a few moments ago, he just summed up the impeachment proceedings against Rod Blagojevich perfectly:

"we have this thing called impeachment, and it's bleeping golden, and we've used it the right way."

i could not have said it better myself, Senator Meeks.
