I told a vendor he couldn't call me for an update on Friday because it was Batman day. He was in the middle of being really impressed. I told him to hold it, because he didn't know how I was dressing for the event. In the end, he might have sprained something laughing.
I might actually send him a picture. He got an advanced screening ticket to the last movie and he took it as seriously as it deserved.
Okay--weird call. Someone I don't know called me and asked me what floor we were on, because he needed to know for a package. We're listed in the building directory, so it's not secret, but why would a stranger call me? I asked him what package, he said he didn't have it, someone from another company had called him for the information, and he looked up his contacts for [some app I don't work on] and he couldn't get in touch with [person I've never heard of]. I told him "Look, you just sound weird. Call the third person on your list." and hung up.
Aha! A Bourne ad about Renner's character. And so much different than all the rest, because this one spins the sci fi element and hard.
That is a weird call. Huh.
Sci fi element?! Seriously?
The one thing I hate about the ads I've seen is when they say, "He was never the only one." Um, no shit. Other agents just like him were trying to kill Bourne in every frigging movie.
But that was kinda my point--the mythos of the movies, if not the details played Treadstone like Bourne was singular in his talent to evade and disrupt. In order to put someone squarely above him, they are touting genetic modification.
Unless they're saying Bourne was an experiment too...which is a little too much for me.

But only because he'd been injured, right? And lost some of his "programming". Although I guess he did balk at the assassination right before that.
I'm on team Accidentally Clicks When Tap To Click Is Turned On.
I'm not sure what the exact explanation was. In the books, I felt like him getting away was both more difficult and more of a team effort. In the movies he just felt unstoppable to me.
Oh! Paget Brewster will be guesting on L&O:SVU next season. Which made me realise I didn't think there was anyone left on that show.
Didn't she end up teaching the sign language to a deaf boy or man?
I'm fairly certain she also invented Braille and opened the first school for the blind, complete with seeing-eye wolves that she domesticated herself.
I'm trying to figure out tap to click. You mean where the trackpad is the button as well? I have that on my work laptop, and since I click with my thumb, but scroll with fingers, I don't have issues. I do have the the double/triple/etc pat-the-pad-does-stuff off.
Swim swum. Storm, while noisy, kinda fell apart over the city.
