Wild guess: this was your first time working with Arnold. It was just so surreal to develop a relationship with him. I didn't know how to process him at first, because he's as iconic as one can possibly be. And he plays robots. Quite often. And very persuasively. So it was a bit jarring to realize that he was a guy, an actual human being...
...dorky, crudely drawn hero. His pal Strong Bad is a mysterious dude who brags a lot, wears a Mexican wrestler's mask and makes fun of Homestar. They and their friends act out spoofs, skits, adventures, music videos and fake ads, and just generally goof on their own surreal weirdness. It's like a postmodern version of the Peanuts gang.

To prevent gridlock, the E.U. must streamline its decision-making processes to accommodate the addition of 10 new members. But there's also something surreal about last week's deliberations. Giscard's call for an E.U. Foreign Minister, for example, seems optimistic at best in light of the rancorous splits about the war in Iraq. The Convention has important work to do, but it seems its head is still in the clouds...
