reminded me of some of the troublemakers you taught :)
A Virtual Bridge Across the Pond
“I can’t think of anything witty because there’s nothing cuter than a Jake Gyllenhaal holding a Puggle.”
hot guys holding cute puppies is right up my alley
i feel like hotguysholdingcutepuppies is right up your alley, too, Robyn.
Phrasal differences
Sick (British) = vomit or vomiting
Yakking up (British) = talking
Chuck = to throw something out OR the leftovers of being sick (British sense) or vomiting
Thus, the reasons why people look at me funny when I talk about:
1. My Chucks (as in Converse)
2. Being sick over the weekend (where I get the she’sgivingtoomuchinformation look)
Since we’re going to be on the Airport Beat for a while, now…
This is fun, and a point for Heathrow. Alain’s the Swiss
Armyphilosopher who wrote The Art of Travel and On Love, amongst other popular, bestselling books. He was in Heathrow for a week, interviewing people, writing his diaries there, and having the writing projected on a big screen above him while he did it.‘There’s a cleaner from Romania who’s job it is to go from G to A (beacons),’ he says. ‘She’s very funny and she’s got a real view that writers are a waste of time so she purposefully teases me and bangs the desk. You start to see characters here that you would never understand as a passenger because you’re rushing through.’It’s clear De Botton is deeply fascinated by people and like a sponge he’s soaking up every encounter he can. When the TravelMail video cameras stop rolling he begins to question me about my own role as a travel journalist and I can’t help thinking I wouldn’t mind a mention in his book. ‘Nobody has bribed me yet…’ he jokes.When the book’s finished, they’re going to give away 10,000 free copies at Heathrow, and put it on sale for the rest of the world. Pretty awesome.
I love this kid so much.
This kid has shot dozens of lip sync videos at the Apple Store. The looks from the people behind him and the fact that he brought shutter shades for the occasion is amazing.
Steven Leckart at BoingBoing Gadgets kicks off the conversation regarding content creation at the Apple Store. Apparently someone wrote an entire memoir in the SoHo Apple Store. I wonder how much content has been created from a Starbucks to date?
This would actually be a killer iPod/iTunes/iMac commercial.
