IME, "a stomach thing" is always good for calling out of work -- no one wants that on the job.
Natter 69: Practically names itself.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Yeah, I think that's totally valid, smonster -- for you, and for not spreading it to them. I know I'd be grateful for your taking that precaution for me.
Montana Supremes go up against the US Supremes ruling regarding corporate spending on elections.
Random fact of the day: I am wearing almost knee high boots and sushi socks, which I think Teppy gave me.
IO9 had an article on faceblindness and someone linked to this test. I feel incredibly privileged right now, and also like I spend too much time looking at pictures of people, because I consider myself only average with facial recognition (and I have a deepseated continual panic that I will lose the ability to recognise my mother's face. I have no idea what that's about), and I could get 100%. Average is 85%. And some people just plain can't do that.
The brain is terrifying. Freaky deaky.
I've also been thinking about coincidences. I have bumped into more people from my two years of Jamaican high school than I have who went to McGill. The odds are kerfucked for that. I just never find McGill grads, but for no good reason (three of the times were off the island) I've bumped into girls I went to high school with. What *is* that? Why are we all over the place.
I've only bumped into two McGill grads since I left Montreal. Two face to face encounters, anyway. More online, but my high school meetups weren't online.
I got 100% too, although I feel like being able to remember his movies and not recall his damn name should have counted against me for Robert Fucking DeNiro.
I missed three, but one because I entered the wrong name without thinking. One I blanked on, and one I remembered his characters' names, but not his.
Didn't need to say it twice.
I think you can remember the character's names, according to the instructions. Weirdly, I had that problem with Robert DeNiro as well.
The only one I found a little difficult was Jennifer Aniston- without hair she looked a little like christina applegate.
Patrick Stewart I couldn't place because he didn't look right with a partial head...oddly enough!
