The Day Today

Quote of the day must go to Justin Timberlake, who coined the phrase ‘wardrobe malfunction‘ after tearing off part of Janet Jackson’s top during the half-time show of the Superbowl last night. Just what was she wearing underneath, though? I guess that’s what Americans call pasties (as distinct from pasty or indeed the Parisian grog, Pastis).
(As an aside, that definition links to the apparently technical term, ‘tits on a keyboard‘, which I must try and use in an editorial sometime soon.)
CBS cut away as soon as it happened. But what would we have seen if it hadn’t? (It’s Shockwave - move your mouse around).
Achievement of the day was getting out of bed while it was still cold and dark outside, and swimming before heading off for work. It made me feel less guilty about…
Dish of the day, the vegetarian burger at the Eagle Bar Diner, the second-best meat-free burger in the city (after Mildreds). Eagle turns out to be the perfect place for impromptu working lunches as you can shuffle into a booth and be unmolested by the rest of the world.
Telly of the day: Groundhog Day on Channel Five. Still surprisingly watchable in an eminently throwaway manner, which perhaps explains why I threw away the last hour of it … temporarily … and stuck it on video. Still, it was a snazzy bit of scheduling from Five, being set on 2nd February, again and again and again and again.
