There's a new game designer at the office sitting to our left who is a GIRL. Normally her shattering of the local gender monopoly would pass without comment, except that one of the guys from the space game department keeps making any excuse to come over and talk to her. The degree to which hearing his monologues is like torture is the recurring subject of our instant messaging as we try blasting our headphones at maximum volume to drown him out.

wooyang: mike

rayhawk: yes wootang
rayhawk: whoops typo

wooyang: here we go again
wooyang: to ur left
wooyang: it has started...

rayhawk: hold on I'm still enjoying "wootang"

wooyang: lol

rayhawk: by focusing my entire mind on the wootang perhaps I can block it out
rayhawk: focus!!!!!

wooyang: haha

rayhawk: wootang style is the style you use to kick ass in tekken
rayhawk: but "woontang" is for when you're macking at the club
rayhawk: never mix them up!

wooyang: haha!!

Another year of no trick-or-treaters; time to go hunt down some kids and force candy down their throats. I blame stupid parents. Here's a story about the zero recorded cases of Halloween poisonings in the last 50 years:

Meanwhile, we're being good and not eating the Halloween candy. Instead we're having some birthday cake for BrikWars' 14th birthday today. Happy birthday BrikWars! You're now older than most of your players.

"TSN"

Here's a groaner.

First, the background )
I have for the last week or so been seeing some of these placards, with the initials "TSN" on them, on the south bank of the Charles at the level of Brighton/Newton/Watertown - different from the "ZEPHYR" placards on the north bank (Watertown Square) directing traffic for that production up Mt. Auburn St. towards Harvard Sq. With my curiosity piqued last week by rumors of Ben Affleck and his new Boston-based movie filming around Harvard Square (last Wednesday JFK street was blocked between MA Ave and Mt. Auburn, with film production equipment lining the streets), and not yet knowing that movie's name, I finally had the chance this morning to do some internet sleuthing and sate my curiosity.

Ben Affleck's movie is called The Town. But that's just a side note. And I have no further clues about ZEPHYR.

The "TSN" movie from the placard I pointed out to some lunch companions yesterday on our way back to the office is apparently "The Social Network."

Must be filming in part on the Charles River - I found this out very randomly, from a footnote in the weekly Community Rowing e-newsletter, about river closings.

According to IMDB... TSN's going to be "a story about the founders of the social-networking website, Facebook." Oh boy.

But wait, it gets better.

The production is set to star, among others, Justin Timberlake as Napster co-founder Sean Parker (not to be confused with Napster's more notorious creator, Shawn Fanning). I kid you not.

snow day

I stayed late last night at the office to finish up some paintings for a 9AM meeting this morning, but finally chickened out at 11 or so, since I wasn't sure how often the plows were running, and I didn't want to get snowed in. I needn't have worried; they kept tooling around all night like clockwork.

I decided to come in early today to finish up the last little bits before the meeting, and as a result arrived in the parking lot just in time to get the phone-tree call from Dan about work being closed. Doh! Oh well.

I'm rocking the new longcat scarf today, and was all excited about making everyone else writhe in jealous agony when they witnessed its glory. It'll just have to wait for another day.

Dave just popped in to thumbdrive some of his files to work on at home; I guess I'll be doing the same!
