Remind me to tell you about my parents' new bidet (11/30/05)

It's so surreal to come back to a place where you used to work even
though the office is in a different location and most of the people
you used to work with are no longer there. It's just WEIRD. It's like
just jumped forward in time from 2000 when I last worked at Porter to
2005. It's just as busy and it's the same work, but it's not. So
strange.

Happy Belated Birthday Dabney

+======================+

The song, "Get down on it" by Kool and the Gang is a weird song, but
so catchy. If you think too hard about the song, you realize it is
very, very dirty. But the music is just so happy and disco-bouncy.
Just sticks in your head.

How you gonna do it
If you really don't want to dance
By standing on the wall
Get your back up off the wall, tell me
How you gonna do it
If you really don't want to dance
By standing on the wall
Get your back up off the wall

'Cause I heard all the people sayin'
Get down on it
Come on and
Get down on it
If you really want it
Get down on it
You gotta feel it
Get down on it
Get down on it, get down on it
Come on and
Get down on it, baby, baby
Get down on it
Get down on it
Get down on it

PLEASE HIRE MY FRIEND MARTHA LANGMUIR!

Martha Langmuir has a Masters in International Affairs with a
concentration in Human Rights from COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY (Ivy League no
less!), and is looking for a position in international (or domestic)
human rights, public health (esp sexual/reproductive health), rights
of sexual minorities, etc. She speaks French and Bengali and is "quite
possibly the finest woman in NYC" (her partner Martha's quote and I
entirely and wholeheartedly agree).

So if you know anyone with whom Martha can meet, or if you know
someone who works in these fields and may or may not be looking for
someone, or if you just think she is great, let me know and I will
pass on the leads/good wishes to her. I am determined to find this
fine lady a job.

LONDON (Reuters) - Ever get frustrated with fresh-out-of the-fridge
butter that is too hard to spread?

November 30, 2005

A UK-based company has launched a portable, temperature-controlled
butter dish, ButterWizard, which keeps butter at what it says is the
optimal spreadable temperature of 65 degrees Fahrenheit.

It has a built-in fan and a chip which together control the
temperature, adjustable for different textures, be it super-soft
bread, crusty toast or delicate biscuits. "We were trying to find out
what people's frustration with butter was. It's either too hard or too
soft," said David Alfille, managing director of East Sussex-based
company Alfille Innovations Limited.

"ButterWizard heats or cools the butter and you can adjust the
temperature to suit yourself."

Nutritionist Fiona Hunter said: "There are over 16 million UK
households buying butter on a regular basis, but one complaint I hear
time after time is the lack of spreadability of real butter."

"Butter has been part of diet for thousands of years. The important
thing is to spread butter thinly," she added.
