This is funny. This is nice.
So I came home from London with all intentions to hang out with my dog, see my friends, head down to the Black Cat and see some shows, maybe do some dancing, maybe see if my Wilco luck would stike again and I could get scalped tickets to see them at the 9:30 Club.
Well. You know what happened? I got the flu. And have been home, in my bed, since Thursday. I postponed my flight back to Boston, told my professors I wouldn't be in class today, and set about getting better. And now, when I'm finally feeling better.... I get this awful cough. And it hurts. A lot.
So I go to the doctor. Guess what? I have pneumonia! AAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAA!
Yeah. Shoot me.

Microsoft lawsuit is called a 'charade'
In a simmering legal tussle, Google, the Internet search company, is asking a judge to reject Microsoft's bid to keep a prized research engineer from taking a job at Google, saying that Microsoft filed a lawsuit to frighten other workers from defecting.
Microsoft sued the research engineer, Kai-Fu Lee, and Google last week, asserting that by taking the Google job, Lee was violating an agreement that he signed in 2000 barring him from working for a direct competitor in an area that overlapped with his role at Microsoft.
"This lawsuit is a charade," Google said in court documents filed before a hearing on Wednesday in Seattle. "Indeed, Microsoft executives admitted to Lee that their real intent was to scare other Microsoft employees into remaining at the company."
Google countersued last week, seeking to override Microsoft's noncompete provision so that it can retain Lee.
"In truth, Kai-Fu Lee's work for Microsoft had only the most tangential connection to search and no connection whatsoever to Google's work in this space," Google said in court documents.
The judge in the case, Steven Gonzalez of Superior Court, who heard arguments in the case on Wednesday, said he expected to issue a ruling on Thursday.
Google's filings include details about a conversation Lee had with Microsoft's chairman, Bill Gates, suggesting that his company was becoming increasingly concerned about Google's siphoning of talent, and perhaps intellectual property.
Lee said Gates told him in a meeting on July 15, referring to Microsoft's chief executive, Steven Ballmer: "Kai-Fu, Steve is definitely going to sue you and Google over this. He has been looking for something like this, someone at a VP level to go to Google. We need to do this to stop Google."
A Microsoft spokeswoman, Stacy Drake, declined to comment on Gates's statement directly.
"Our concern here is the fact that Dr. Lee has knowledge of highly sensitive information both of our search business and our strategy in China," she said.
Lee said Google did not recruit him and had not encouraged him to violate any agreement he had with Microsoft.
Microsoft countered that Lee's job with Google gave him ample opportunity to leak sensitive technical and strategic business secrets. Microsoft noted that Lee attended a confidential, executive-only briefing in March, which was labeled "The Google Challenge."
"In short, Dr. Lee was recently handed Microsoft's entire Google competition 'playbook,"' Microsoft said.
Lee joined Microsoft in August 2000 after he helped to establish its research center in China. At one point, Microsoft said, he was in charge of the company's work on MSN Search.
Microsoft and Google, along with Yahoo, are locked in a fierce battle to dominate search, both online and through desktop search programs. Google has begun offering new services, including e-mail, that compete with Microsoft offerings.
Microsoft said it had paid Lee well in exchange for his promises to honor confidentiality and noncompete agreements.
The company said that Lee made more than $3 million during nearly five years at its headquarters in Redmond, Washington, and that he earned more than $1 million last year.
Microsoft asserts that there is "an extremely close between the work Lee did at Microsoft and what he will be doing at Google.
Google argued otherwise, insisting that Lee is not a search expert and noting that his most recent work at Microsoft was in speech recognition.
