It's a less-than-auspicious start to the day when you sit in your car, parked in the lot of your office building, and remind yourself that you kinda sorta havta walk in and start doing things to continue living in the manner to which you've become accustomed.

Meanwhile, Showtime has apparently brought back the cartoon short series Queer Duck, previously of the now-for-pay icebox.com. The first 5 episodes are there, along with a brand-spanking new 6th episode, and they promise a new one every Wednesday. Yesterday's episode managed to parody a certain very large entertainment company, which is almost always sure to make me laugh. WARNING: I wouldn't watch this from work, but once you're safely ensconced in your own abode, click away.
