Some things, my friends, never change. Working the technical support front lines is one of those things. Here’s the best thing to come out of Norway since…ever.
Fresh from the Manolo comes news of the co-option of one of the greatest shoe designers in the world. Surely it cannot have been an accident that this particular meme manifested itself at this time. Mighty Cthulhu has penetrated even unto the workshops of the maestro of shoes, Christian Louboutin.

Some of you may be wondering what happened. I even received a rather worried email, subject line “ONE post???”.
Here, for those of you who were not there, is what happened:
1oz Plymouth gin
1oz Campari
1oz red Cinzano vermouth
Well, it happened five times and a draft pint of Strongbow happened once. Negronis are the prettiest of all cocktails, but as I said, they are like playing with God’s remote control when you can’t read what the buttons do. Christian Brando had three and shot his sister’s lover. I had five and ended up drunkenly emailing an Eric Stoltz sighting to Defamer (who laughed at me, thanks Mark!) and instead of flirting with the biggest flirt on the planet, I went into chat and bored him senseless with my exciting plans for my new CSS design!
No wonder I can’t get laid. I ignore Eric Stoltz and bore all of the rest of them.
