don't stop get it get it
i am currently elbows-deep in creating the cheesiest powerpoint presentation in history.

basically, we need to show off our new logo to our board, and express to them that we have a history of completely rubbish graphics that makes this one look like the nike swoosh by comparison. and, since it's for a board meeting, it has to be designed for old rich people who find still images on a projector boring, but also find video on a computer scary and possibly communist.

hence: powerpoint.

and i am bringing the cheese. there are buzzwords. there are mission statements. there are eagles.

it's gonna kill.

i'm also dealing with lawyers, which is far less fun, especially since they appear disinclined to actually look at what i've sent them before issuing forth endless streams of paragraphs of opinions about it, thus making a five-minute, two-email chain of question and answer into a goddamn epic lincoln/douglas debate.

but it's cool, since i actually have some energy today, and am also taking advantage of casual day to rock my gil zeros and some tall tube socks with stripes. there's nothing quite like a good pair of tall, striped socks to make you feel just a little bit more like the iceman, and, therefore, a little bit more like kicking ass with style.

and, since i can't come up with a clever segue, here is a hot model in tall, striped socks.

happy ... whatever today is. go forth and conquer.

Every email received by a lawyer = .1 hours.

Every email sent by a lawyer = .1 hours.

If lawyers discover instant messaging ... DANGER!

There's a lot to be said for chix wearing nada but gym socks.

But really, if you're gonna have an Iceman, you gotta go right for Liddell.

Or for the chix, we can let them have the other iceman.

amen to that, sir.

and, while liddell is awesome, i don't think he's cool. he's far too intense to be cool, and that's what i'm after today.

(kilmer, on the other hand: cool as the other side of the pillow, but not nearly as productive. :))

Ah, if you need cool then you need the original Iceman:

Albert Motherfuckin Collins, the Master of the Telecaster.

I was just going to point out the plethora of Icemen, having just heard Chuck Lidell on NPR's Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me.

Yes, he was the guest on the Not My Job segment. It was kind of funny.

ha! that's fantastic. i like that ultimate fighting is doing some outreach to a slightly ... out of the box (octagon?) crowd.

Oh man, I love powerpoint cheese!!! I've always been curious about the powerpoint art David Byrne did a few years back. I've seen the book/dvd but it's a bit out of my price range. have you seen any of it??

Yes, but are the eagles crying? Because that would be most excellent.
