After catching Finding Nemo on TV last night, all this talk of happy places just has me thinking of Alison Janney shrieking "Find a happy place! FIND A HAPPY PLACE!!!"

Is that the movie that has a character that hisses mineminemine?

Because after seeing it with my nephew, my dad taught the kid to do that. Drives his grandparents crazy. Go, grandpa!

The seagulls! No hissing. Really annoying chanting. For many of us who grew up around seagulls, it was the funniest thing about that movie. (And I love that movie.)

Is that the movie that has a character that hisses mineminemine?

A whole flock of them. My sister and I will do it at the least provocation.

Heh. That's right! Seagulls. (I haven't seen it. But my dad has told me about it, I just forget. He loved those seagulls.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Gov. Jeb Bush has declared an end to the state’s inquiry into Terri Schiavo’s collapse 15 years ago, after Florida’s state attorney said there was no evidence that criminal activity was involved.

Bush had asked State Attorney Bernie McCabe to investigate Schiavo’s case after her autopsy last month. He said he now considers the state’s involvement with the matter finished.

“Based on your conclusions, I will follow your recommendation that the inquiry by the state be closed,” Bush said in a two-sentence letter.

Is this the end of it?

sarameg, you really should see Finding Nemo. Loads of fun, with lots of big names doing fine voice work. It was a Geoffrey Rush double feature on Encore last night, with Finding Nemo (in which he voices a pelican) immediately followed by Pirates of the Caribbean (in which he becomes the first actor to convincingly utter "Argh!" as a pirate, and be believable).

Oh, it's on the list for whenever it is I start watching movies again.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

This is job#1, and yep, THREE YEARS.

Turns out I was whining precipitously (I still think the e-card is tacky). An envelope labelled "lapel pin presentation guidelines" turned up on my desk. I gave it to my boss, since I'm pretty sure she will be giving it to me formally at today's meeting.

Yay! Lapel pin!

Can't I just get to go home early?
