Forgive "boss," but I've been listening to a lot of James Brown so that has somehow crept back into my vernacular. Today is one of those days when, if you have a crappy commute like this Phillyist, you may be working from home. Which means that in between checking e-mails and working on files, you can fit in a little "you" time. Don't take this gift of a day and waste it with cleaning or other crappy errands. Here are the top 10 ways to "work from home."

Fun around town, for $10 or less:

For our parents, it was the assassination of JFK. Ask any of them and they can remember exactly what they were doing at the time they found out JFK had been killed. I never understood that until September 11, 2001. Our generation can remember it like it was yesterday. For us, that moment, frozen in time, is and will always be 9/11.

Yeah, yeah. This video is decidedly New York. But this video was featured in a recent Ask Yahoo! post, and we'd forgotten how cool (and corny!) it was, and figured it bore repeating...

This suburban Phillyist was felled by the twin terrors of a flooded basement and strep throat (no, really. We're loving March so far) Friday night, and couldn't venture into the city to catch Local Boy Making Good Matt Duke's show at the World Café Live. Fortunately for us, Sister of Phillyist is both a Drexel student and a total Matt Duke fangirl, so she agreed to cover the show for us. What follows is her guest review of last night's show.

Restaurant Week started last night. That's really awesome for you and me, the average diners who maybe can't afford to eat at many of these restaurants. It's less awesome for the servers who are really going to be getting stiffed on tips.

LAist has so much fun this week! They go to E3, where they overhear the timeless remark "Man, this is where nerdy girls get laid." Is that a promise? They also give us this week's best CDs and make us realize that LA is the best place to use Zillow.

Showing at: Ritz Five

by Mildred Taylor won the Jason Award. The book is aimed at grades 4-6 (reading ages 9-12), and speaks to racism and moral fortitude. Nope, we wouldn't want kids to learn about how bad racism is, now would we? We hope the Ashton Marsh Elementary School in Absecon does not plan to pull the book.

This week, Return to Sender and Phillial team up to give the men of Philadelphia the hand they so desperately need.

In this week's Phillial, Phillyist is in the navy. And there's roleplaying! Today's question comes from a Philadelphia-area student:

In this week’s Phillial, we move on from glass cocks to glass houses - or Home Depot, that is. We know there’s a catchy transition in there somewhere. Please don’t throw stones at us. Or dildos.

After one Phillyist staffer’s hiatus in Texas (and a fruitless hunt for the real Butterscotch Stallion, although we learned that a certain Mr. Delay is a real power bottom) we're back to answer your Love and Sex questions. This week’s query comes from a reader fed up with the South Street sex toy scene:

Phillyist is proud to present its first contest. One winner will receive two tickets to tomorrow's TONY HAWK'S BOOM BOOM HUCK JAM event, starting at 7 pm at the Wachovia Center.

We don't like Hoobastank, but we know the song: "I'm not a perfect person." The song is wrong, though. When we sing it at drunk staff meetings, we change it to: "You're not a perfect person." And you're not. But that's OK. We're here to help.
