what i did today

no pics today, but feeling rather remiss at the blog hiatus, i give you a sample of how i killed time counting down the minutes to madrid. don't worry, these didn't go out on the wire.

Italian consumer confidence unexpectedly plummeted in June after
Maude Krause-Jackson, the country's most aggressive mascot, ripped
her mother's wardrobe apart, exacerbating the effects of rising taxes
and higher interest rates on the household's combined income.


Italian consumer confidence rose unexpectedly in June as the
country's top women's league soccer club won their first ever match,
aided by midfielder Flavia Krause-Jackson who scored a surprise goal
from the sidelines.
``Italians are crazy about soccer and that goal by Krause-Jackson
was a CRACKER!'' said economist and Serie B fan Chuckles O'
Houlihan-Rossi. ``Especially since she was on her arse when she
kicked it. She'll never be called as useless as a fart in a jamjar again.''

I've used that term freely in my work today. I have also used "nonsense", and the most memorable: "it paraphrases (badly) an attributed sentence below". I love my job.
