Daily Show, Multi-tasking, & A Closed Senate

Telly: Daily Show with Jon Stewart
iTunes: Don't You Think, by Natalie Imbruglia

Went to a birthday. Ate. That's pretty much all I did after work today.

I'm watching Jon Stewart and laughing my ass off. Man, I can not wait till Colbert Report comes to Canada next week. I completely recommend watching clips of his show on Comedy Central, especially his segment entitled "The Word." Today Jon has Mike Wallace of 60 Minutes. Last week Colbert had Lesley Stahl of 60 Minutes. I see a pattern. Methinks CBS is starting to wise up 'cause they're actually trying to reach a wider audience, mainly the young 18-35 yr old base that The Daily Show attracts. Finally.

Okay, so I'm feeling overwhelmed again. I'm looking at my schedule for tomorrow and it looks like I have 2 half hours of unscheduled time. So, basically, I'm booked for the day. That's the typical day for me, with every hour accounted for, scheduled for something.

I just filled up those 2 half hours. Now I have no break, according to my calendar. Funderful. Heh.

Gotta say though, I loves me schedules, even if I don't follow them 'cause something always comes up. I love multi-tasking. Which reminds me of something that happened Tuesday morning.

I had just gotten into work, early this time, and as I picked up the phone to answer Clarissa, I overheard Harmony ask the room who "HE" was. In mid-sentence, as I was answering Clarissa's question, I replied "Herbert." I didn't even think about it. I just did it. Then I hear Harm say something like "he's on the phone and still manages to hear and answer questions." Brad agrees "yeah, I was about to say..." That made me feel kinda good. I don't know why, but it did. Oh, right! All this while I was checking email and checking out my schedule for the day. I don't think they saw that.

Moment of Zen: a graphic saying "The Senate session is closed" or something to that effect. Hmm. The Senate has a closed door session. Hmm. Senate Orgy? That's what Jon said the other night. I think they're all blaming each other for the Iraq war. I wonder what's going on inside those locked doors.

Yes Manfred,
You are the wonderous multitasker! I was amazed... On the phone mid conversation with someone else (and mid sentence too - I think) and I ask Brad a question...Manfred with his back to us simply states the answer and continues on.... I forgot to acknowledge that one yesterday...pretty sweet!

How are you going to top that one?
