Month: December 2005

I had Chinese food for dinner last night, and the fortune in my cookie said, “Reconcile with an old friend. All has been forgotten.”

“That old friend probably won’t even remember who you are anyway, so what’s the harm in reconciling?”

Two from Warren Ellis. First: “The concept of musical sandwiches is something we’ve been looking at for a while now…”
Really?

And second: okay who are you, and what have you done with Jack Valenti?

On the FedEx US Airbills we have at the office, there are three delivery signature options: no signature required, direct signature, and indirect signature. None required is self-explanatory. Direct means that anyone at the recipient’s address can sign for the package. Indirect means that anyone at a neighboring address can sign. There is, however, no option for “only delivered if the recipient signs.”

Which isn’t critical, by any stretch — or even usually an issue — but I do find it a little weird that the option isn’t even there.

There are still four lyrics left in last week’s Friday Guess 10: 1, 2, 3, and 7. Any takers?

Is it wrong that I actually care that “Bill Nye the Science Guy” will guest-star on an upcoming episode of Numb3rs? The show’s okay, I guess, although I’ve never watched a complete episode and don’t expect to start doing so after with any regularity. (Even if, technically, I do work in maths and stats publishing.) But, I’ll admit, this is maybe incentive enough for me to watch an episode.
