• A Qatari official told Piers Morgan that between 400 and 500 migrant workers died as a result of their work preparing for the World Cup.
• The Times profiled Christopher Massimine, who was once and up-and-coming producer in New York's theater world before suffering the effects of his compulsive lying, which is likely a form of mental illness.
• The Gotham Awards (?) were last night, and Adam Sandler gave a hilarious speech "written" by his teenage daughters in acceptance of a lifetime achievement award.
• Fishtopher, the big sad-eyed cat who was living at a New Jersey adoption center, has found a new owner after his ad went viral.

• Texting yourself notes and reminders is one way to manage your life.
• Cycling through Irish peat bogs looks like a cozy activity.
