"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Watching Bringing Up Baby with with mac. He is confused by the black and white.

I have a friend whose little girl was watching an old movie on television when she was 6 or 7 and said to her mother, "What was it like when everything turned colored?"

Hivemind: am I using the "albeit" word properly in the sentence below?

An acquaintance immunization with 10% immunized nodes presents a dynamic which is much more similar to that of the targeted immunization, albeit with a different precentage of immunized nodes.

[Edit:

"What was it like when everything turned colored?"

Pleasantville?]

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Yes, albeit is correct. However, did you mean percentage? Or is precentage correct in this usage?

I was reading this article [link] about a woman who gives lectures on class and came across this quote:

She had already explained why rich people don’t eat casseroles, why poor people hang their pictures high up on the wall, why middle-class people pretend to like people they can’t stand.

I am confused by the poor* people with the picture high on the wall-- because I am poor and I always hung my pictures low because I didn't know the rule about hanging things at eye level.

  • for values of poor that don't seem to exist now- working class, I guess.

Thanks! I didn't spell-check yet, and now you saved me that, as well! The hivemind is the best.

I think KHepburn's annoying character is part of what makes the movie so darn funny. Plus leopards and Cary Grant in a frilly bathrobe!

God I just want to smack her. And I have to keep explaining to mac that yes, is lying about things and tricking people and no nothing she is doing is very nice.
