Was you ever bit by a dead bee?
/To Have and Have Not
Walter Brennan, RIP. Lord, I love that movie beyond all reason.
Me, too. It's the "just whistle" part that KILLS me every time. Plus Lauren Bacall's smokey singing voice and the way she swayed in that dress. Bogey's not bad, either.
No wake up calls last night. 10 hours uninterrupted. I love it when that happens.
I have not mentioned this before, but a discovery I have made since returning: Melbourne CBD has peregrine falcons. I'm up on the 34th floor, facing out over the city, and sometimes they fly close enough to my building for me to make a positive ID of the species, for instance. I think I caught on a couple of weeks ago just pulling out of a stoop.
I wanna see one make a kill. There are plenty of pigeons around for them. I suspect they prefer hunting over greenery, though.
I think I may run into Steph in the Applebee's parking lot. They have real ribs and not just those riblets, right?
recoils in horror
You've got Norm's in P-land, and you're getting ribs at...Applebee's?!??!?!?
weeps and weeps
t /bbq snob...no, wait - that never closes
Poor Aimee!
Timelies!
I don't really have anything else this morning. That's kind of sad.
Oh Aimee, I hope you get some relief.
Cashmere and Beverly, I adore that movie so so so so so so much. Hmmm. I have to see if it is on DVD and get it, if it is. LOVE.
Gronklies, everyone.
Anne, good luck in your move, wherever you are.
Just found the coolest story about something called mirror neurons in the brain.
Empathy allows us to feel the emotions of others, to identify and understand their feelings and motives and see things from their perspective. How we generate empathy remains a subject of intense debate in cognitive science.
Some scientists now believe they may have finally discovered its root. We're all essentially mind readers, they say.

Um...what are distance learning platforms, and do we think I can somehow say that I have experience working with them or something similar that would make me qualified for a position requiring that experience?
Teppy, the Alchemist is supposed to "show" one of their IPAs. Sadly, it was not on tap last night. Maybe tonight?
I hope so -- the Holy Cow IPA is (apparently) an amazing beer. I, personally, don't like IPAs b/c they're too hoppy. But if it's on tap tonight, definitely have some!
I don't know if my brother is there or not -- he didn't mention it, but I also haven't talked to him in almost 2 weeks, so he might be there. Just ask for Jeff Lang. (And tell him to call me!)
Yep, it's the Holy Cow. I hope it goes up tonight- I won't be able to take the crowds of people on Friday and Saturday nights, and I can't make it during the day on Saturday.
I hope I get up there tonight, as well.
