From the Land of the Home comes this fresh dose of weird: Today at work I was signing out a camera to one of our producers and when I came back from printing out his receipt, there was this man standing at the equipment room door talking to him. The man had frizzy Daniel Clowes hair (he looked just like the character "Weird Al" from the Ghost World comic) and was saying over and over how the world will come to an end on January 20th. "Blizzards like Vermont has never seen--no one will be left alive in Vermont."

I didn't know if the guy was a friend of the producer's or just some random loon. It turned out he was with a different producer who was in taping a show. She would corral him into the studio and he would wander off in search of someone else to warn about his dire prognostications.

I love my job.
