...He does not even come at it with my affection for Peter Serafinowicz (sᴀʏ ɪᴛ sᴏғᴛ ᴀɴᴅ ɪᴛ's ᴀʟᴍᴏsᴛ ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴘʀᴀʏɪɴɢ!).

The other day on our call I noted that a new season of "Million Dollar Secret" was out (though not in full) and he said, "OH, that show really displays the full array of human behavior," like an earnest glowing review and I was delighted enough to wanna chuckle but didn't want to scare the joy away.

I realized this morning that the first season ended last week and I can now recommend it to my folks who prefer to watch serial television more like a double feature.

(That both refers to "folks" in general and *my* folks==parents, though my dad sometimes pretends to be above it.)

It's so good.

The fact that they just give away Cajun Sparkle is nigh astonishing.

I appreciate a jokey earnest complaint on being fast and loose with language and will note that you too may have been the audience for the (ca. 2009) WTH shirt from the old shirtstore, "maybe I can just make tee-shirt designs as a post-doctoral career", era.

As a Great¹⁰Academic Grandchild of Isaac Newton, one kinda wants me to be more professionally serious about my science, but I handle that business elsewhere!

*...That's barely a halftruth: even when I'm serious, it's always been hijinks and monkeyshines; real "you're letting ME do this?" energy.

I am ready for the "Space Cowboys" translation to all sectors.

(My field-support usage case of an Azeem "Of course it works!" periodically used the substitute "Flying brick!" when I recognized that the former would not be recognized and heard as reproach instead of amusement.)

Hair Bud (2027)

Given how many trials involved eating things beyond offal, he should've hosted 'Fare Factor'.

Nancy (the Remix) image of Nancy asking Sluggo, "Sluggo do you ever ask yourself 'What the fuck is wrong with people' ????" to which Sluggo replies, "Yep". They are near a dock with a boat near the horizon and next to a shop with a sign labeled "Bait".

I appreciate seeing this as a charming harbinger of the fact that it's possible to re-rewatch "Bait", which does require slightly less energy than putting on grownup clothes and going a couple towns over to watch "Hamlet", AND brings a lil' more 'Sir Chatrick Stewart' delightfully back into my life.

The dark side of having in some respects a particularly good memory is a danger of some degree of almost French Canadian "je me souviens!" grudgery, like Jeremy Irons in "Die Hard with a Vengeance" (arguably the best one even if not taking into account a mental echo/reverie in re. "Jeremys…Iron".)

Before he was Dr. Sacks he was my date to a fraternity formal 24 yrs ago. Suddenly realizing that there are more infamous Gavins out in the world these days flashed me to lastSunday when I felt a sense of "I must be over it" peace upon forgetting the name of a recent science nemesis …for 3 minutes.

You can tell Gavin is not a jerk because at no point in his discussion of contents corroding cans did the phrase "He hates those cans!" get used.

I would be saying that CONSTANTLY in that lab.

Most Days (2009-01-20) INT. OFFICE - LATE MORNING Guest: Scott Simpson, Paper Company Employee - http://yourmonkeycalled.com State: Working some mean Hitler staff hair Hear: Cat Stevens (Scott; not me) See: Avett Brother...

Earlier this week in the context of thinking about the Avett Brothers guy guest hosting with Omnibus, I had been trying to recall first exposures and landed on:

There are smaller models but I make a lotta broth and tea on the quick too.
It's basically the home version of the boiling water tap I had institutionally as a grad student and postdoc: an investment in hassle avoidance!

Depending on feelings about such things, having a 5L Zojiroshi boiling water dispenser on my counter and a giant can of instant coffee has been kind of a game changed out here vs even my home Keurig days.
It's just always ready!

I recognize 'Crater McCraterface' isn't a great name for a crater (okay name for a moon...) and is creatively mid; however, when me and my coTeaching pal gave our students nicknames so we could talk about 'em in front of them, we definitely had a 'Beardy McBearderson' (BMcB).

I went to his wedding!

A media selection screen noting: "Because you have watched 'Now You See Me', you may want to watch 'Transformers: Datk Side of the Moon'; 'Transformers' 'The Other Woman'; 'Transformers Revenge of the Fallen'" making one wonder to what extent the movie about magic centered heists is actually about the transformative power of prestidigitation.

(This anecdote was induced by suddenly seeing Reservoir Dogs movie art and realizing I may still not have seen that movie as seeing that cover reminds me of the angry interrogation about what garbage I was watching with friends from at school.)

Maybe more importantly: this algorithmic association!

Great Moments in Partial Visual Memory Failures:

I was sent to pick up something nice at Blockbuster; I'd recently seen an interesting movie w/ pals and recalled a line up of 4-5 guys on the box: thus I brought home "Reservoir Dogs" thinking it was "The Usual Suspects."

(We got 5 minutes into it.)

The CD/Tape player was an aftermarket upgrade for my 99 Acura so it might even be the same parts as yours!

The 5th CD (?) I got was from the Princeton Book & Record Exchange [walkable distance from my 1st JobbyJob at the Textiles Research Institute on that side of the river]. More a tapes gal, tho.

I have a cassette rip of DMB with a few tracks from Weezer that is in the tape deck of my car that hets regular play when I hit 13 commercials in flipping through terrestrial radio channel options because you can choose the anachronisms for how you're gonna live and ...what an era.

I believe I saw mine in the basement last year, just on a bookshelf among the less scholastic books!

Haha "The Best of What's Around", a certified jam.

Maybe it was supposed to be more structured practice? Mine were VERY chatty, if memory serves.

Isaac Hayes - Theme From Shaft (Official Lyric Video) YouTube video by Stax Records

I feel like writing a weekly letter to La on the backside of a vocabulary test while listening to the theme to Shaft is close to 70% of my memory from that class

(It was why I figured she knew me better than most teachers and would write that despite grades I was ok)

m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVj8...

I believe it was an underline the accented syllable situation? A lesser detail in memory given the backside writing and Shaft.

Fun Fact: I almost failed the first marking period of AP English because I was preternaturally *terrible* at both parsing where syllables ended and denoting which one was acc-EN-ted.

(I locked in on it eventually, but delight in recalling her shock with my asking her for letters of recommendation.)

When I first learned this, I began doing deep dives on all the word origins I felt uncertain about.

(I feel to some extent that my original affiliation with it when watching was stoked by having at the time just recently Dr. Ms. PacManned around the world for work and officially labeled myself a wee satellite.)

Esp. on THIS day, sit down at a big screen and treat yourself to 17776.*

*this is special to me. i feel like i’m one of the only true appreciators of this game, and the duty of introducing someone to it is one i take very seriously. if I could put on a tux I would.
