from Crystal: The worst part about working in an office cubicle is that people can so easily sneak up behind you. And if one of those people is your boss and you just happen to be reading Autostraddle, or watching a Shane montage to the music of Coldplay on YouTube, then you’ve got a problem.

Forgive me for sounding like a Danoz Direct commercial, but my iMate arrived today and it is the most exciting/awesome/valuable purchase I have made this year.

Coolio – yeah, re: the pic lemme know, and yes, I meant Alexi….diabs unite! (Umm yeah…)
