Wow! I had no idea that FB's facial recognition algorithm is performing at least one task almost as accurately as the human brain: [link] (97.25% for FB, 97.53% for humans). Probably because I rarely use it, but still. That has creepy potential.

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

Anyway, if you know which of those you belong to (I belong to none), it would help you narrow down seasons.
I don't think any of those work for me. it's probably safe to say I liked all the finales, although I would have to look up summaries of the plots to be sure. I know there were at least a couple of episodes that were not generally liked that I loooved, but I can't remember what they were, or when they happened, or why I liked them so much.
Gah, Dana, what a drag! I hope it turns up quickly.
Where are you going, shrift?

I've been watching American Ninja Warrior intermittently all day. I guess I wasn't in the mood for it when the season started but the DVR caught most of it, and being able to fast forward through everyone's personal stories makes them go pretty fast. It's' such a joy to watch athletes exhibit such control over their bodies on such a challenging course. I cannot believe the sheer number of episodes though.

I actually started writing one of those up a couple years ago--you can see how (not) far that effort got: [link] . I should get back into that, while I'm gainlessly unemployed.
Or maybe I should focus on job hunting. Whatever.

Canada, outside of Toronto. Work trip.
Oh, speaking of work. I think we have an icebreaker where I have to write down two things and people try to guess who it is. I have no idea what to write down.

Two things about yourself? Can you make shit up? How will they know if you did?
...this is why I'm self-employed, isn't it?

Man, I hate getting-to-know-you ice breakers. My mind goes so completely blank, all I can think is how I'm so very not interesting.

Because books.
Oh, you should totally make stuff up! Just remember what you wrote, I guess.

Well, I probably shouldn't make shit up, but the one I managed to come up with is pretty unusual: CNN once called me for comment on a congressional investigation into the mismanagement of federal funds.
Maybe the other one could be about interviewing at Playboy. Or is that too inappropriate?
