Huh--a coworker pointed out that the reason we're being protested is because of a thing that he & I did some months ago, where we signed off on something. Woops.

I mean, it's not really because of us, but we did review & approve something that went on to be implemented and that's my organizational connection to the longshoremen's protest. Eeeps.

Still, I get to leave at 2, yay.

I mean, I'm glad for jobs and puppies, but this day is a motherscratcher.

::sits with amyth::

I don't have any pie, either.

Team Amy must stick together.

Where's our pie?

Napoleonland - coming soon to France. . . maybe.

Wait, Consuela, are you saying you're The Man?

::points and does Bodysnatchers shriek::

Do people here have deliberate face care routines? Like, more than "this is the convenient stuff I use on my face", and more like "this is the stuff that makes me look like this--anything else I've tried makes me break out/greasy/dry/whatever"?

My roommate emailed me a picture of a runner, standing proud, saying "Later, I will have PIE", informing me it's national pie day. I feel like I should make a pie. Maybe later. I have lots of work I haven't done, first.

Filesharing sites panic.

I've read reports that MegaUpload purposely encouraged (and rewarded them for doing so) copyright violators to distribute using their services. Does anyone know more about that?

For my face - I have things I do routinely - I moisturize a lot, which is partly due to my skin being a bit sensitive and otherwise it gets irritated. I have products I use, like the moisturizer with a light sunscreen. I routinely wash the makeup off my face every evening when I get home. I use hypoallergenic products because they consistently don't irritate my skin - is that what you're talking about?

I mean, do you have a One True Product Line (or combination)? Do you get religious about stuff like that?

Wait, Consuela, are you saying you're The Man?

I feel like I need a Jack O'Neill quote here, but yes, I am a very tiny cog in the great factory machine which is The Man.

ita, synecdochic on DW has a Very Long and detailed analysis of the Megaupload indictment. If even half of what the government is alleging is true, those guys shot themselves in the foot and then bragged about it in internal mail. They violated the DMCA intentionally and kept the evidence on their servers.
