12/21/2012: It's the End of the World as We Know It!
Obligatory posting of REM's "It's the End of the World as We Know It" and the "news" report of the event...

That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes,
an aeroplane - Lenny Bruce is not afraid.
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn,
world serves its own needs, dummy serve your own needs.
Feed it off an aux speak,, grunt, no, strength,
The ladder starts to clatter with fear fight down height.
Wire in a fire, representing seven games, a government for hire and a combat site.
Left of west and coming in a hurry with the furies breathing down your neck.
Team by team reporters baffled, trumped, tethered cropped.
Look at that low playing!
Fine, then.
Uh oh, overflow, population, common food, but it'll do.
Save yourself, serve yourself. World serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed dummy with the rapture and the revered and the right - right.
You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright light, feeling pretty psyched.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.
Six o'clock - TV hour. Don't get caught in foreign towers.
Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn.
Locking in, uniforming, book burning, blood letting.
Every motive escalate. Automotive incinerate.
Light a candle, light a votive. Step down, step down.
Watch your heel crush, crushed. Uh-oh, this means no fear cavalier.
Renegade steer clear! A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies.
Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives and I decline.

Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom!
You symbiotic, patriotic, slam book neck, right? Right.

Since the world did not end I did what any woman would do to celebrate such an occasion: I did a bit of late shopping. Snagged me a summer mesh jacket on sale Shipping was free because it was .99 cents over the " free shipping after you spend $49.00" deal. I just hope it is not going to be too big....

You're in the Capitol Records building? Way cool! Is there any historical lore about your particular office area?ericalm wrote:No kidding!TVB wrote:You've been on a different internet than I have.ravenlore wrote:And I feel fine.

So at least I get a good view.
Below is our building as it looked in 1928, when it housed an insurance company and a Piggly Wiggly. I only wish the interior was as beautiful as the outside, but little remains of what it once was. There was also a Lloyd Wright-designed market next door in the '30s, since torn down.
The historical lore of my office: Until the lease ran out and the building was re-unified under one owner/tenant, my office was rented by the guy who wrote the TV special in which the Six Million Dollar Man and Bionic Woman got married. I looked him up after taking his nameplate off the door.
Not as cool as having the Beatles stop by.

Well, now we know who got Norm Morrill's office. I guess these days he's much better known for producing/writing episodes of Covert Affairs, my wife's fave.ericalm wrote:The historical lore of my office: Until the lease ran out and the building was re-unified under one owner/tenant, my office was rented by the guy who wrote the TV special in which the Six Million Dollar Man and Bionic Woman got married.

WINNAH! Ha, I watch Covert Affairs, too. I think it started after I moved in so didn't even realize he was involved. If I ever meet him, I can say, "DUDE, I have your old office!" And he'll say, "Yeah, they kicked me out when my lease expired." End of conversation.jrsjr wrote:Well, now we know who got Norm Morrill's office.

Yeah, not quite as epic as the conversation I always imagined between Albert Einstein and the guy who got his office, Kurt Göedel.ericalm wrote:WINNAH! Ha, I watch Covert Affairs, too.
