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.
See, Vera? Dress yourself up; you get taken out somewhere fun.

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

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Dr. No took place almost entirely in Jamaica.

Ayup, it was set there. I was giving the Jamaica Tourist Board speech (ita version) the other night while I was in the ER to calm myself down and distract myself from the pain--brief Bond recap: Ian Fleming owned property in Jamaica, and James Bond is the name of an ornithologist who'd written a book on Jamaican birds. Dr. No is set in Jamaica (filmed in Ocho Rios), and some of the short stories (Octopussy comes first to mind) are also set there.
Anything else you want to know will have to wait for extreme pain and you taking me to the ER. Those seem to be the ingredients.
Matilda looks calmly at home in that second picture. "This is my Emmett."
