6.01.2001heather's comments on today's entry in
the raise your hand if ew series [because it made me giggle a great deal and
she said i could share]:
dam! it's a killer beaver! [feel free to insert obligatory, "i knew a girl like that" joke here.] [via heather who "couldn't help but laugh over the headline."] rum. sounds like we need to get us some of that bois bandé. [via pie-eatin' monkey] "A sex-crazed male monkey has caused an uproar in a central Sri Lankan town, stalking and attacking girls in public and flirting outrageously with cats and dogs." [via metafilter] why the human race is doomed, case 35 in a series. "it's just like reality." no. no, it's really not. [via fark] star wreck.

[it causes me much amusement that in the right sidebar one of the quick links to yellow pages is for "tattooing".] tony awards. sunday night. 8pm on pbs and 9 on cbs. it hurts me when wbur makes mistakes. this morning, there was a commentary on the "old" new economy. glenn rifkin commented on the fact that "in 1991, there was no world wide web. . . it was just an idea around the corner." um, no. he also co-authored Radical E: From GE to Enron - Lessons on How to Rule the Web, which i feel i really must read. apparently, we're one of "nine of what the author considers to be the best Web sites on the Internet" and we're "flourishing online because they've embraced a radical approach to e-business, emphasizing nontraditional thinking and a willingness to turn left when conventional wisdom says turn right." who knew? being the beginning of a new month, i'd like to point out again that if you'd like to drop me a note, my address is dawn at gweep.net. if you still can't figure it out, substitute @ for at and remove the spaces. just doing my part to foil the spambots. current detriment to my productivity: benj's gweep plan-o-rama. welcome to june and summer-ie designs. |
