FOUND!
The venomous Bronx Zoo Egyptian cobra that alarmed and delighted New Yorkers when it escaped from its enclosure was found today, ending a six day search for the celebrated snake.
The elusive snake was found "coiled, sort of secluded in a dark corner" about 9 a.m. a couple hundred feet away from the enclosure she had slipped out of, said Bronx Zoo Director Jim Breheny.
It was recovered by a Reptile House employee using "special tongs to grip the animal," Breheny said. (via)

more gchatz w/ john
kylie: i hate when contruction industry professionals start emails with "gentlemen,"
john: why?
kylie: it just makes me feel unwelcome
like the muslims next door
john: i also think it comes off as condescending. like, i'm saying gentlemen, because i really want to say assholes
it's very stilted
i feel like people only say that when they're angry and want to remain civil
kylie: "gentlemen," reads to me as "arent you guys glad there aren't any stupid sluts on this email for once?"
john: ctm
i've never seen it that way before.
kylie: like "its ok, its just us"
john: just penises!
kylie: "does anyone want to make jokes about asian women?"
john: i think me being a big ol' gay quashes a lot of their boys club fun.
there have been a few nasty jokes
kylie: have there?
john: and i always let them know how thoroughly unimpressed i am
we built a shelf into a shower that's in one of the private office bathrooms
and a person on the construction management team said it's where the police chief would lean while he gets his blow jobs
and i was like, gross.
kylie: good!
then you were like "unless its from a boy!"
john: ctm!
i wish
kylie: you put one finger up in the air in a point-of-information way
"unless its from a boy!"
and then smiled, so satisfied with yourself
john: and just let everyone stare at me in horror
kylie: totally

gchatz w/ john
john: so i fell into my desk and chair today after coming back from lunch.
kylie: go on
john: i accidentally sat on the arm of my chair and it rolled into my desk with me teetering perilously on the edge. i had to slam my hand down on the desk to stop myself from rolling, and then i fell into the chair with one leg still hung over the arm of the chair.
legs spread, crotch in the air.
kylie: aaaaaaaaahahahaha
john: kLa$sY!!!!
also, i have been almost completely unable to spell today
i think i have a brain tumor or something
falling down, can't spell. it's either a tumor or i'm drunk.
and i just can't tell.

a step in the right direction
Under the new rules — which take effect immediately — building owners must inspect and treat apartments next to, above and below any unit that has bedbugs. They also must notify all tenants when bedbugs have been detected and distribute a plan on eradicating them. (via)that law will be just perfect if they add one more thing: mandatory roscoe visits.

would you like a reason to like coach cuonzo?
i spent this time some afternoon learning a little bit more about our new basketvol coach, and while we haven't had much time to grieve, i think i'm ready to give him a chance. look how sweet he is! this blurg post makes a good case.
he's a former college and professional player and a kancer survivor. here he is accepting the award for best coach in the MVC, which i guess is some kind of basketball conference. anyway, a big orange welcome! (don't mess this up.)
what the kids are listening too
I know I'm supposed to hate him, and I do. I do, but this song is hot as heeeeeel.
nerd alert!
A Portuguese guy named Eduardo Souto de Moura won this year's Pritzker Prize. I always thought that Stadium was pretty cool.

i searched my gmail for the earliest reference to "wbd" that hasn't been deleted. it was this chat to kylie on 12 june 2006:

kylie and joel had just moved to alphabet city from knoxville, and i was not yet in new york.
happy 100th anniversary, triangle shirtwaist factory fire ;(
ever wonder why we have labor rights, emergency exit signs, and my favorite construction industry term, "panic hardware" (push bars) on doors, etc? well, the triangle shirtwaist factory fire of 1911 is why. today marks 100 years since this horrific tragedy, and i've included the segment of ken burns' new york documentary which, incidentally, is required 2Pz viewing. netflix that s up.

RIP bruce ;(
UPDATE:
"As many of you know, I have been fired as head coach of the Tennessee Volunteers," read an entry posted Monday on Pearl's Facebook page. "This really does not come as a surprise to me, but my emotions are getting the best of me. This is perhaps the saddest day in my life. I loved everything about Tennessee, Knoxville and the Volunteers. These were the best years of my life." (via)
