What random things have pissed you off today? Me: I got caught up in a gaggle of tourists at my subway station, including some who *stopped immediately after going through the turnstile*, thus causing me to delay several seconds,miss my train and have to stand on the hot hot platform for 7 or 8 minutes. Then I got to work and found that someone had been looking for something on my desk and messed it all up. Gah!

Dogville Confessions The American release of the Dogville DVD didn't contain any of the extras included on the
Danish release, for nearly all of the 3+ hours of material is fascinating stuff, especially the hour-long documentary
Dogville Confessions, directed by
Sami Saif (.pdf file in second link). Not your typical marketing fluff piece, this is an extremely up-close-and-personal look
at the often tense conditions on the set of Dogville. Saif set up a wooden video confession booth on the set, and the stars were encouraged to record their own thoughts and feelings about working with Lars Von Trier.

Quick Dumb Blog Question If you link to someone else's blog, are you supposed to ask them first? Tell them? Or is it permissible/nice/okay to just put the links up there on the sidebar and not worry about it? The etiquette of it all occasionally confounds me.
Legal threats What was the thread that Matt removed due to legal threats? Anyone know? Or can guess?

How To Tell How Gay Your Gay Son Is (fafblog)
...Place two photographs in front of your son lying face down. On the left place a photograph of Tom Welling, TV's gay Superman; on the right place the stern but genial visage of James Dobson. Flip them over simultaneously. Which does your son look at first? If he looks at Tom Welling, he is gay. If he looks at James Dobson, he is gay with an unnatural fixation for James Dobson. ...
Pepsi Blue: $20 an hour I'm tempted. . . I'm tempted. . . I want to work from home! I wonder if you have to sign the contract with blood and if so, whether they can tell if you fax it. Hmmmm.

Baile Funk I don't know if anyone listens to this Brazilian music, or if you saw

Funky Do Morro. There are literally hundreds of MP3s accessible through the links on the left of the screen. They ask for some bandwidth consideration.
Exquisite Codec An mp3 theme for the day: Try to continue on with some element from the song before.
So, when I post, say, "Cherry Bomb," by Magnapop, reply with "Cherry Bomb" by Joan Jett or "Summer Cherry Ghosts" by Tim Monger, or... Well, you get the idea. Should be connected by artist name or song name (or general theme. As time goes on, the connections can get looser...)
