Happiness is a Hangover

The company christmas party was last night. Suffice it to say that the events of that night, the names of the people involved, the performances we allegedly witnessed, and the location where we may have held it are all deep-cover classified, Code Level Tangerine. However, let me assure both of my readers that I can probably divulge this information in person, as long as you submit to thirteen hours of debriefing in a closed decompression chamber while trained operatives remove the relevant areas of your brain stem with a grapefruit spoon.

In any case, the anguish within my soul, the harrowing search for Advil at 4 am, the cottonmouth, these are all well-documented, the lingering traces of a vaguely-remembered good time that was allegedly had by all.

In other news, the threatened strike of subway workers resulting in the complete shutdown of metropolitan NY has been postponed. If you have been following this issue in your local newspapers (who am I kidding), you will know that originally, the strike was scheduled to start at midnight last night, forcing 10 million New Yorkers to find alternate ways to get to work. Instead, there has been a temporary ceasefire, and union authorities now say they will slowly shut down all service beginning tonight and lock down all train lines until Tuesday. According to Alicia, this is "sneaky but brilliant," shutting down the entire city on the last big shopping weekend before Christmas. According to me, the fucking MTA can die, die, die.

In the meantime, please enjoy these complimentary links.

musicmap - I haven't fully explored the possibilities here, but I like what I'm seeing. Like six degrees of separation in the music world with a killer interface.

I love the idea of a super secret Holiday party. I'm not sure why it's more spectacular to me this year, but... we will have to write this idea in our film. Lots of possibilities.
