A link to a posting labelled "3 things all men desire" that includes having a monkey but not having a menage.

I guess men are stupid.

Wasting a wish on a monkey.

For some of us, menages are old news. Thus the pet monkey.

I sold the pimp jacket.

This reminds me of what my husband and I always say to each other when we're waiting in interminable check-in lines at the airport. It's like, why in the world does it take some people so freakin' long to check in?!?!

We imagine the opening line for these weirdos who take forever to check in goes something like this:

"uh, yes, good morning miss, today I will be traveling with my pet african monkey*, are there any special forms or anything that I'll need to fill out?"

I mean, what the hell else could cause such a delay?!?

*african monkey -- because we first started noticing this and commenting on it [loudly, so that everyone around us could hear -- our co-travelers and the airline workers really appreciate that, I can tell!] around the time that movie "Outbreak" came out.

OMG!!! I swear I didn't see this post before launching in to the thing about people who take forever to check in at the airport!

[I guess you could say it's kind of a mini-Wonk move.]

It's a white purse with the logos in pink and blue (and maybe some other color). I suppose it's supposed to look summery, but it looks even worse than the dark and light brown combo. I saw some woman on the street carrying it and couldn't stop staring (a la slowing down to look at a car accident.)

Here is a particularly hideous example:

GACK! Yet another reason not to own Louis Vuitton. I hope whomever designed THAT freakin ugly piece of shit got fired. Not that I care that Louis has more ugly purses I will never buy, but I certainly don't want to have to look at that!

OK, just got back from a 10-day business trip to Osaka. Great food, huge client, lotsa work.

Unfortunately, I've now been told by the partner in charge that the client has been recently moaning and groaning about billing (despite the fact that the company exec VP took five of us out to dinner in the Namba ward of Osaka to the tune of a mere $1100). As such, I've been instructed for my return flight to simply bill the standard 8-hour work day to the client and the remaining 11 hours to the "office".

Does this make sense? Any thoughts? Nice way to kill a lot of easy hours for me.

have docs. look at them occasionally on plane, bill review of file/ not the travel

While some Barry White selection would be a good bedroom theme song to have, if I'm forced to tell you people the truth (which, of course, I am not), Closer by NIN is more often correct.

Tying into my story about Lenny Kravitz (was that just yesterday? damn, this week is going slow...), everyone knows, of course, that [what the hell was her character's name?] is Lenny's mom. What you may not know, however, is that in school, people would ask him if Mr. Willis was his dad (because IRL, Lenny's dad is white -- so naturally, the guy on tv playing his mother's husband must be his dad!). Those kids sure were quick!

I've never understood that either. Which is why the self check-in devices in airports are so great when you can use them. The check-in lines at airports compete only with the bank drive-thru teller lines for the most likely to inspire a rage-related incident from me. Therefore I try to avoid both.
