if my office is bugged

they must get a real laugh at my singing. I will quite happily sing what ever comes on my iPod or Pandora music channel (how well I know the lyrics is not dependent on my singing the song). At the moment, I'm singing Chris DeBurg's Lady In Red. A favorite and one of the first single records I ever bought. Walking on sunshine was the first. I don't really count the Muppet records...

Anyway to the people who may have listening devices in my office - I don't apologize for my singing. Consider it a punishment for listening in!

ooo... George Michael, Careless Whisper...

a little TOO connected

Ok - so like any woman with a secret identity... I like to keep my professional options open. I have a list of companies I'd absolutely love to work for. In no particular Google, Apple, Yahoo, eBay, Microsoft, and others... Well I came across a job at Apple the other day and I had to apply for it! HAD TO!

Like most job websites it asks for a web log-in... and it indicated that I can use my Apple iTunes log-in... um. ok. But I buy crappy music with my Apple iTunes log in. I don't my future job prospects with a company I want to work for put in jeopardy because I bought on iTunes... well, it isn't important what I bought - suffice it to say that my tastes don't discriminate. I really do enjoy some pretty fabulous crap music.

But it is a scary thought that my resume, job application and my music purchases are all accessed under the same Apple log in.

The world just got a little smaller! and a little more creepy in a fabulous technology sort of way.

Bacon Invasion

I for one welcome our bacon overlords.

It seems that everything is tied and or connected to bacon. Let's go beyond the whole ham, pork chop, pig's feet thing - it goes much deeper. Even if I were a veggie - and I assure you this bacon lovin' OG is no veggie - I could get my hands on bacon. Perhaps not tasty bacon - but "bacon" none the less...

In fact, the bacon invasion is so far along that the bacon options are almost infinite... turkey "bacon", veggie "bacon", "real" "bacon" "taste"... you get my drift. A friend shared that at a recent work breakfast event - there were no fewer than 3 "bacon" choices!

Bacon is coming to get you! You are surrounded! It is everywhere. In your bacon mayo, in your baco-bits... even bacon favor in your bacon lip gloss!

Dare I quote the borg (bacon-eaters to the last)...

RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!

Welcome bacon overlords - I will take you to my leader... Though the multi-nationalness of the OG makes it hard for me to take you to just one - and do you mean leader of the country, or the company I work for. I'm still not sure who my direct boss is - so um... I'll take you to my cat, Max - he's the one I'm usually trying to ensure is happy so that my furniture doesn't get scratched.

Well I should end this blog post before it descends into true ridiculousness... (ok, it already did but I deleted it)

short story: ALL HAIL OUR BACON RULERS!!! LONG LIVE THE BACON NATION! (true, real, magical pig bacon)

my favorite movie quote of the night

So I am watching an odd film. You Kill Me Staring Ben Kingsley, Tea Leoni, Luke Wilson, Bill Pullman, Dennis Farina, and a ton of other fab stars. I love the independent film... star studded casts and interesting dark humor plots.

So far my favorite line by Ben Kingsley a recovering alcoholic hit man...
"I don't regret killing them - I just regret killing them badly".

I should mention this film was made in San Francisco. So fabulous to see random bits of the city...

I highly recommend you Netflix it if you can... it is quite dark, I mean the guy is an alcoholic hit man who is sent to SF from Buffalo, to sober up! I mean, seriously - his sponsor is Luke Wilson and his girlfriend is Tea! And don't say I'm ruining the movie - you would have read these tid-bits in the movie synopsis.

So the whole point - go and watch!

smart(ish) TV

I'm totally in love with TV. Actually, I should re-phrase that - My name is OG and I'm addicted to TV. There's a reason I don't have cable/dish... not just the cost, but the fact that I can't turn off the TV once it is on. I *heart* TV. Now I say this, but I don't *heart* reality TV. I just can't/won't get into it. Reality is enough for me, thanks. TV is all about escapism for me.

I particularly love most things with "Star" in the title. Star Trek and it's variations. StarGate and all of it's variations... you get the point. (Note: don't watch Star Search)

I'm also woefully addicted to TV that is "smart", "funny" and ties back to "science"... X-files - loved it! But there's this new category of mass smart-ish TV... Bones. Always learn something new. Fringe. Always get some crazy idea from that show. House. Well it's a doctor show, minimal character drama. CSI. Tend to learn something from it. Chuck is spy fluff - but I love how it tries to be smart.

I love this upswing in smart-ish TV. Yes, fiction can be fun - but it doesn't have to be totally without education or learning power! Though I suppose if it has truth in it does that make it non-fiction?

Carp.

Oh well. I love the psuedo-smart TV that's on these days. Bring it on! Especially as there are no more "Stars" on TV until later this year with StarGate: Universe.

Sigh.
