new and exciting ways to destroy clothing.

a button on my pants just broke, and unlike the usual way buttons come off - thread loosens, button falls off, mother or grandmother then sews it back on - this one just cracked itself in half. smack down the middle - so now half the button is still attached to my pants, the other half is sitting on my desk. i've never seen anything quite like it. are buttons known to crack when its cold outside?

-------

also to be filed under "pretty insignificant" are the stupid little radio interviews in the stupid little markets that i set up for my clients. which is why i find it hilarious when they are treated like life-or-death situations. i received a voicemail earlier this afternoon about an interview that didn't wind up happening, and towards the end of the message i was informed by the contact person that it was unfortunate it needs to be rescheduled now, "but everybody seems to be ok".

isn't that a phrase better suited for use when informing others about the aftermath of an accident or natural disaster? oh good, mr. spokesperson for some crappy-ass website, i am SO relieved to find out you're all okay after a radio station in nowheresville, CA didn't put you on the air today.

double for me.

also about the freakin button situation -- has happened to me a few times, don't think weather is to blame, but who knows. Always some funky accident and suddenly the security of my pants are clinging to just a half-button. A butt.

Hmmm… I hope for his sake that the dude forgot to mention that the interview didn't happen because his building was being attacked by ninjas or something. Only then is it acceptable to use the phrase "but everybody seems to be ok."

If not he's a total drama queen just asking for a slap-down.
