Shit's all sorts of different now.

In "I learn everything from Yahoo entertainment news" news: I have been working under the impression that "men in Trees" starred Laura Dern.

No wonder I kept watching thinking, "She looks so different."

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

There is a contingent of the reality-challenged who think an alien spacecraft crashed or exploded.

Well yeah.

I mean, no.

IIRC they found no physical evidence (debris, radiation, etc.) besides the fact that a whole bunch of trees got knocked down. Or did they not think to check for radiation back then?

Just like Roswell. The last 50 feet of those trillion mile journeys is always the hardest part.

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

I've never heard of Tunguska either.

From you I buy it.

There is a contingent of the reality-challenged who think an alien spacecraft crashed or exploded.

Well, if an alien spacecraft crashed or exploded, could it look like Tunguska?

I've spent the time since my last post reading about grisly murders. Focus. Phone.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Where is the Job Fairy when you need her?

Not with me. I'm rewriting my resume. Bah.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

A Tale of Two Pictures

Wow. That's priceless. If only links could be COMMed.

Tunguska.

Wasn't it also mentioned in passing Ghostbusters? I seem to recall Ray comparing something to the "Tunguska blast" at one point.

I have two job-search related phone calls to make that I monumentally don't want to.

There's a job-search-related insent for you, ita. My agent/recruiter guy says he can probably get you connected to the right person in their L.A. office if you want.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Right, and I heard about it before there was an X files or an internet.

Actually I wish I'd kept the book - it compiled long lists of anomalous phenomena, and explained it with the theory that God was a crackpot. It supported its case with 13 chapters, each one using the logical form of one of Aristotle's 13 fallacies in order .

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Wasn't it also mentioned in passing Ghostbusters?

Yep.

Dr Ray Stantz: You know, Mr. Tully, you are a most fortunate individual.
Louis: I know!
Dr Ray Stantz: You have been a participant in the biggest interdimensional cross rip since the Tunguska blast of 1909!
Louis: Felt great.
Dr. Egon Spengler: We'd like to get a sample of your brain tissue.
Louis: Okay.

I love that movie.

OK, I'm falling asleep in my chair. I'm not going to finish what I need tonight. Sigh.

You guys could write me a note, right? With those special internet jokes so that it'll be perfectly clear to anybody who reads it?
