Wasted day

Today is going to be such a wasted day at work, I can feel it already. It seems like, with the Thanksgiving holiday coming up, the world's work ethic has gone totally down the drain. Several people are taking the day off, even if they're staying in town. At least one of my office mates is gone for the day, too. It doesn't help that I don't really want to do the next thing on my to-do list either. Maybe I should punt after lunch or something.

Disturbing thing sighted at Filene's

A classic Atari joystick. Except, instead of the DB-9 connector, the end of the cable has two RCA connectors. Huh? It turns out that 20 years' worth of Moore's Law lets you put an entire Atari game console, plus 10 game cartridges, inside the joystick case, the switches on the console move to the front of the joystick, and the other end of the cable has video and audio out.

Okay, some of the lingerie was pretty disturbing too. "Extra fuzzy at the bust line" is...odd. Though the men's red satin thong with a white ball on the front was pretty distressing too. And the music was disturbing. Yeah. Disturbing all around.
