And then...

And then, at the end of the performance, the host comes out dressed as Napoleon and addresses everyone in German.

And now, since we're fooling around with mind-bending cross-cultural disco antics, enjoy some Boney M singing "Rasputin". Yes, that's right--a German-produced disco band consisting of 4 Jamaicans singing a song about Rasputin: "rah rah Rasputin, Russia's greatest love machine..."



Why? Because it's Monday, so you might as well put on your shiny clothes and platform boots and dance. (Bonus points for fake beards or red, white and blue glitter.)

Rrrrrrrrrr...

Back off. I don't feel like getting out of bed, either.

Constant vigilance!

Back to work. It's an ugly job, but someone's got to do it.

Work is for suckers

That's what popped into my head today. I love having a day off on Monday when the rest of the working world returns to the grind.

Here's my plan for today: have lunch with the lovely and talented MizBubs, who is slaving away at the library, then head down to Fantasy Costumes to pick up some zombie makeup for our eldest. And then just generally drive around and enjoy this glorious day.

And now, a quick glimpse of Monday morning at the Compound:

See you later, alligators...

Hardboiled or spicy?

After an entire week away from the office it's time to get back. The ILEETA conference is a welcome break every spring--I always go back re-charged and reinvigorated.

So...I wonder: what will this week's detective stories be?



Or



I'm good with it either way.

It's Monday

NOW GET GOING AND BRING HOME THE BACON!

Blue Monday

Sing it, Fats.

Back to work, my friends...

Back to work, you

Your coworkers are depending on you.
