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.
My food is problematic.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That is a weird call. Huh.

Because books.
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.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

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.

Tap to click on a MacBook means you aren't using the mechanics of the trackpad to register a click (well, you can still do that), but that just placing your finger lightly on it counts as clicking too. If you touch and leave your finger there it's not a click--you have to touch and release.
