Out of bed, but out of time

Got up early to blog this morning but had an EIC emergency, so now I'm running late and must get ready for work.

Have a great Thursday, wherever you are. Only 1 more day til the weekend.

Romance is sexy!

Wily Wednesday

Occasionally even a criminal can earn my admiration. I think this guy is the stuff movies are made of!

In a story from the AP, a 57-year-old man in Spain has been arrested, again, after twice having his wife fax phony (pun intended) release orders to the jails holding him--she even followed up with a phone call corroborating the faxes. And this worked twice!!! Once in October, and once on March 3. So in the meantime, he's rented several houses, including this "heavily fortified" one where police finally found him... but they had to work for it. He'd equipped the house with reinforced window protection and a secret entrance (yes, secret entrance, LOL--I bet he has magical, spinny bookcases leading to tunnels too). He'd avoided la policia by hiring men to drive him around while he pretended to be an Italian professor. Officers finally busted into the home through a skylight to search the house. And they finally found him....

hiding in a hollowed-out sofa.

Dang. This guy knows how to make a plan.

Perhaps his wife should send a text message this time to get him released.

EIC-you there

It's the monthly "From the Desk of Piper Denna" post over on the LPI blog--this month, on Stats, an Irish hit, newsletters, and keeping The Business separate from Your Business.

Marooned Monday

Saw this little joke on somebody's Facebook page last week and it made me bust up.

Why is it, when asked, "What's the one thing you'd want with you on a deserted island?" nobody ever answers, "A boat"?

Hope your Monday doesn't suck.

Bradley and Baseball... no foolin'!

OK. In lieu of some big April fool's joke, I thought I'd do a little tribute to baseball, whose season is officially OPEN now (God, I love anything indicative of summer).

So I went searching for photos of hot baseball players--dang, they're a modest bunch! Where's the Studs of Baseball Calendar?--and what did I turn up? (please pardon the italics. it's the next best thing to capitals, because I am shouting)

Bradley Cooper is going to play in a baseball movie. One that's part comedy.

Oh. My. Heart.

I just love baseball (I've got some coverage about that on my site), and I adore movies about baseball, and I live for comedy. Bradley Cooper... well. He's not so hard to look at, right?

Wow. All I can dig up is, it's a movie Disney is producing... and there's a new movie Bradley is working on with Anne Hathaway, but not much info on it (I love Anne Hathaway too!). Perhaps that one.

So. For lack of hottie baseball pics, here's a hottie Bradley pic to leave you with.

Happy April!
