Buffy ,'Sleeper'
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.
I did better than I expected on the facial recognition. Normally I'm horrible at that stuff. I did space on a couple of actors names, but could name roles.
My car is in the shop for an oil change and check up. Crossing fingers that it is in good shape.
Found out that my thyroid and iron levels are where they should be but I do need to get some B12 shots. Yay?
Can you start here? I'm cold.
Let me just aim my rage cannon. I'm certain I've got enough fuel to reach the East coast.
What's up, shrift?
I couldn't recognize Tony Blair or Rowan Atkinson.
I did okay but I'm good with faces after I've seen them lots. I'm bad at recognizing someone I met once or someone I was introduced to the day before.
For example, yesterday and today, I totally didn't recongize 2 memorable customers who had come in. One lady bought 4 carts worth of stuff and I'd waited on her before that, but I still didn't realize it was the same woman.
I am sitting here in tears over this Oatmeal entry regarding airplane travel. I am not sure why this hit my funny bone, but it sure did.
I am not having the best day at work? I'm a frustration stew.
I didn't get Blair either. The other I got wrong? I identified Oprah as Lauryn Hill . They used a much younger picture of who it was, I think, but I'm still a little embarassed by that.
I didn't recognize Blair, (spoilerfonting just in case) Condoleeza Rice (I thought it might be her, then I got thrown by how bad her teeth looked and scolded myself for thinking that Ms. Rice might have such unphotogenic teeth--and then it turned out to be her, teeth and all) , Patrick Stewart, and, I think, one other person in the same category as Blair: know the name, know the person's importance in the world, have read plenty of words about but never paid attention to a single picture of the person. Eliminating those two, I got 90%. Which is embarrassingly higher than my real-life recognition abilities.
That was definitely a terrible and old picture of Condi. The teeth!
Right, so. I'm going to burn the world down.
Ah Shift, surely you don't want to set the world on fire, you just want to start a flame in your heart, in your heart you have one desire, and...
Dammit, I can't make it work.
In any event, I hope the day gets better.
