Because while you were away your coworkers might've decided that you were in need of some good old fashioned pranking. "But I'm on vacation! That's not fair!" Well, guess what? Your coworkers could care less.
Just ask the guy who works with Ryan O'Donnel. He got his whole cubicle (and EVERYTHING) in it is covered in tin foil.
From O'Donnel's Blog:
I guess the bright side is that the lucky recipient will have plenty of stuff to unwrap.That's right. My team and I tin foiled a fellow designer's cubicle. So here's the background: a fellow designer left for vacation this past week. He intends to return the Tuesday after Christmas. What he doesn't even know yet is that my boss, fellow designer and myself used over 500 square feet of tin foil and wrapped up EVERYTHING in his cube!
The pictures don't do it justice... We wrapped it all -- his phone, the mirror, his headphones, his hat, the action figures, the papers on his desk even the trash under it. We started around 3pm Wednesday afternoon and spent 3-4 hours
Check out all the pics on flickr.

A couple of months ago. I was crossing the street in downtown Los Angeles and was stopped when I reached the other side by a police officer. I was told that I was to be given a ticket for walking on a "Don't Walk" sign. While the officer was writing me my ticket, I looked around, and saw that on each corner mixed into the crowds were police officers writing tickets.
Now, If you don't know the downtown area, it isn't unlike most cities in that it has 4 lane streets - which are approximately 50 to 60 feet wide.
How much was the ticket for? $125.35. That's right, for crossing in a cross walk in heavy near bumper to bumper traffic on a green traffic light and for being in the traffic "well" for about 15 seconds. $125.35.
Now, I didn't pay it. I went to court. I plead not guilty. I went back to court and when the officer didn't show up, the case was dismissed and I got to walk away by not paying a dime.
But I know that the average pedestrian in downtown isn't going to go to all that trouble. So instead they probably will show up on their court date and plead guilty and then pay $50-75 dollars -depending on how the judge is feeling.
I did a little research online after that and the general consensus on the various blogs I read was that the LAPD was making an attempt to improve the "quality of life" of the downtown area for those who are fortunate to live there. I don't know if this is true or not but it sounds plausable.
The LA Times also wrote an article about a large number of homeless people receiving jay-walking tickets.
That was a couple of months ago.
Today I saw a couple of officers writing tickets again. The pictures above are all I could squeeze off before getting on a bus.
Ahh, nothing like a good "Best list" to mix things up. You can read the full list by clicking here.
Now first off, I'm not one for lists (and this is one that is really easy to argue with) but I do agree with some of the blurbs that accompany the names.
For example Takeshi Miike
and Paul Thomas AndersonIf Miike had channelled his energies into making one film every year, rather than his customary six or seven, he could be a lot further up the list. Not that you'd want him to change. Miike's casual technical brilliance and total disregard for taste are what makes his best films such a joy. Sure, there are plenty of misfires and generic gangster pictures to his credit, too, but there's plenty of everything when it comes to Miike, surely that can't be bad?
But, I do have to argue with the inclusion of the Wachowski's .Now I won't question their abilites as strong visial conceptualists but they stil lhave yet to prove themselves as world class filmmakers.There is something wonderfully fearless about 33-year-old Paul Thomas Anderson. His two best pictures (Boogie Nights and Magnolia) are works of gob-smacking ambition in one so young - lush, multi-layered ensemble pieces that spotlight the damaged souls of his native San Fernando Valley. But let's not forget the recent Punch-Drunk Love, starring Adam Sandler and Emily Watson. Smaller in scale but no less turbulent, this undervalued effort is like a nail bomb in the guise of a romantic comedy.
And no Guillermo Del Toro? What the hell is going on in the wolrd when Guillermo Del Toro flies under the radar?
Agree, Disagree? Let me know! :)
I live in LA so I am obviously no stranger to the outlandish behavior depicted in this video. I just found out about this and I think ti's amazing anyone who was there or has info email me! Thanks!
Coming soon to a theatre near you is the romantic comedy of the season. A tale of love, loss, and what it means to be together.
Or something like that...
I found this Fight Club trailer parody over at Through A Glass Productions and thought it worthy of posting.
Enjoy!

Jonathan Glazer's new commercial for Sony's new HD televisions is an amazing piece of work. Like most of Glazer's work it features an homage to Stanley Kubrick, in the this case it's a musical one. ("The Blue Danube" was featured in Kubrick's 2001 A Space Odyssey")
The spot, which took 10 days to shoot and utilized 250 people, features a fireworks show made up of exploding paint mortars. Imagine what a building demolition would look like with liquidy bright colurs instead of grayish plumes of smoke. Gorgeous stuff!
Here's the spot on youtube. For a higher quality version of this video, click here.
