Really?

Mayor, council in hockey fight: "Mr. Shields' advice for Penguins fans who want big signs: 'Get a bedsheet and hang it off your front porch.'"

You know, people ought to really do this. Everyone in Pittsburgh ought to do this. Then maybe they would see how unfortunate it is to say something like that. FOLKS, THE PENS ARE IN THE STANLEY CUP, IT WILL BE ON WORLD WIDE TV, NOW IS THE TIME TO MAKE PITTSBURGH LOOK COOL, YOU KNOW, SO PEOPLE WILL MOVE TO HERE INSTEAD OF AWAY FROM HERE.

Get your shit together down there, you're making us look like metro West Virginia. How sad.

(All caps and bold, I wonder what that is?)

LOL Commencement

Ellipses...

The cat just tried to give me a C-Section. I think she might need to go back to med school... Going on my summer schedule tomorrow - read: probably not going to the office... I could do with less Geata singing... Two game sevens in the NBA playoffs and I hardly noticed. So sad... School's out for the summer. Purnell is so sleepy... Really I think there's a logical gap in the argument that because Obama couldn't beat Clinton in a given state that somehow he'd also lose that state to McCain... All that stuff I printed with "assistant professor" a couple of years ago, now I have to print them with "associate professor." I guess thats the sort of problem one wants to have... The Pens are in the Stanley Cup finals. Allegheny County productivity is about to take a dip... I haven't seen Speed Racer yet, but I think they're getting the shaft... I did see Iron Man. Iron Man is the shit... This is about the time I went a little spending crazy last year. I hope I can show a little more restraint this time around... I wonder if theres a business to be run doing all the bidding and drawing for every summer stock in the country out of one central office... Been a few weeks now and the rental company hasn't billed me for that exploding window, maybe they're being reasonable... It's better for me when there aren't cookies in the house... I can't help myself, every time Hackers is on I have to watch... Don't forget to vote in the shoe poll...

I Don't Know What to Say

And While You've Been Busy Critting...

Semester Reviews - PTM Thesis

Only the one this spring. Congratulations to Joel on completion of his thesis and his MFA. Joel is back to WTF this summer to make more high profile industry contacts.

(I missed my chance to get a picture of him with his powerpoint - thank goodness for Photoshop)

Semester Reviews - Tuesday

Man-o-man am I behind. At this rate humans will have evolved beyond feet by the time I do the shoe contest.

Tuesday AM - Job Seeking Seniors:

I'll begin with Dana...


... who would just love an SM job in the NYC area.

Next is Jenn...


... who can probably already buy and sell most of us. You can call her if you are looking for work.

Taking us to Jessika...


... who appears to be taking her organizational skills right out of the business. Let her know if you have a lucrative project management position to fill, doesn't have to be entertainment.

And then Kristen...


... who is looking for production or producing in television news.

Tuesday shoe winner:

Maddie

Congrats to all of the seniors. If the rest of you are around this weekend, come congratulate them yourself:

Ouch!

Injured Actor Files Petition - New York Times: "He was taken to Bellevue Hospital Center, where he is being treated for fractured wrists, a broken back, a shattered pelvis, a fractured sternum, several fractured ribs and a fractured foot."

HA!

Battlestar Galactica: More Frak Than You Could Ever Want: "Adama's shaving mirror is awesomely fracky: Does that shaving mirror in Admiral Adama's quarters look somewhat familiar to you? That's because it's from Ikea, and used as a prop thanks to a particularly oblique in-joke... The actual name of the mirror if you head to your closest Swedish lifestyle emporium just happens to be... Fräck. Someone, somewhere in the BSG scene-dressing department must be cracking up every time they see Edward James Olmos frowning at himself while he shaves."
