I don't know if anyone else is as thrilled as I am, but the New York Times has discontinued its Times Select service, which makes you pay for the archives and their biggest name opinion people. I have to work tonight, so I may spend the wee hours trolling through a few years of Maureen Dowd's columns.

I read that (here actually) but haven't taken advantage.

I successfully moved my iTunes (kit & kaboodle) from the iBook to the HP Pavilion this afternoon, with all my ratings and playcounts and playlists intact. The only thing that seems to have suffered are the album covers. Go team me!

I slept in both yesterday and today, but after leavingthe house for 2 events and pushing mac in the chair for a fair amount I am again EXHAUSTED. In the course of the last 3 hours I drank on a ginormous Pepsi, but I swear I could fall asleep again right now.

Mnnf. I have a headache, but it's a little one, and I'm in my own home and I've showered and socialised gently and am fed, and so I'm going to take another Tums (UCLA Westwood now gives out Pepcid as standard meds (to adults only, I'm assuming) because hospitalisation is stressful and can give you an ulcer--this is new, because the first time I was admitted I didn't get any--I refused mine, for some reason) and nap sitting up.

Yup. Was crocs. I can never remember the one from the other.

There was a Bond movie that had long snappy beast in it and they filmed bits in Jamaica, but whatever we normally have there isn't the same snappy beast and now I'm very confused and I should probably just go for the nap and stop trying to use my brain.

I think it's probably fine, Sue.

Yay for EMMETTDAY!

probably "Live and Let Die".

I didn't nap--I instead called home and yelled at my father, conspired with my sister, and kept my mother calm. Fair deal.

Now I have to go google Live and Let Die, but first--Robin Wright Penn continues to be a genetic anomaly. She's just lovely. Buttercup still, indeed.

Aha! Here's a bit from the IMDB goof page from the movie that gels with my memory:

There are alligators and crocodiles living together in the Louisiana Bayou. Only alligators live in the fresh water of the Bayou. The only place in the world where alligators and crocodiles meet in the wild is in the Everglades of Florida, where salt and fresh water meet in estuaries.

Somewhere I have pictures of our trip to the farm. Looks like the bad guy got named after the owner of the farm because the name (Kananga) was that cool.

Dr. No took place almost entirely in Jamaica.
