“Of all the people I know of he is the first candidate for suicide. Because as wrong as I may be, he is in conflict with his own self and his own missed childhood and with society and with his imagination and his wrongdoings, which he cannot see as wrongdoings—if there are wrong-doings. But he’s a deeply tragic figure and he touches my heart deeply…You know, I would be the one to do the definitive film on him.” – Werner Herzog on Michael Jackson (Village Voice)
Music
“He makes a sound somewhere between a yodel and a hiccup.” – The New York Times on Coldplay.

How did you celebrate National Doughnut Day yesterday?
Well, I actually missed it. Plus it might be just a US thing…
“Dear Canadian Friends of Krispy Kreme,
Due to a technical error, you were sent an email regarding National Doughnut Day. This e-mail was only supposed to go to Friends of Krispy Kreme in the United States, since National Doughnut Day is a U.S. event.
We are sincerely sorry for this error and hope you can bear with us as we solve the technical problems that caused this problem. We greatly value our Canadian Friends and appreciate all your support.”
