Um. And he just spoke directly to me. Heart beat.

After Fox News Channel’s Sean Hannity made a seemingly impromptu offer last week to undergo waterboarding as a benefit for charity, MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann leapt at it. He offered $1,000 to the families of U.S. troops for every second Hannity withstood the technique.
I FEEL GOOD.
Today I faxed the acceptance letter for my new job from the fax machine at my current (soon to be old) job.
I KNEW THAT I WOULD NOW. SO GOOD. SO GOOD.
How badass is that?
Yesterday I met a girl from Ireland who moved to the city - on her own - for one month to volunteer at the Tribeca Film Festival. She rented a studio in Chelsea off craigslist and hopped on a plane. She doesn’t know a single person here. How badass is that?
This should inspire me to vacay solo between jobs, but eh… I’m still undecided.
SIX DAYS LEFT!

Swine flu symptoms are similar to regular flu: Fever, body aches, sore throat, cough, runny nose, vomiting, diarrhea, and lethargy. If you don’t feel well, seek medical attention. So far, it’s important to note, this swine flu is treatable (and absolutely survivable). It’s resistant to two of four antiviral drugs approved for combating the flu.

Swine flu will dominate news headlines in the days ahead. Every case around the world will be carefully tracked and tallied — and deservedly so. It may not sound like much, but the best defense involves some very simple steps: Every sneeze should be covered — preferably with the crook of an arm - and every hand should be washed … and washed again.
