I've considered it a bit and I think the Christoper Nolan movie I think about most is "Memento" because every day when I go to take my asthma medication I think, "...did we do this already?" (I keep a digital checklist which I am rigorous about poking afterwards so I sometimes double check before.)

I wish I wasn't sitting here (now over a month) with the knowledge that the WikiGacha daily raid coin display is limited to your first 80 wins. THAT SAID, it still provides a regular influx of random wikipedia articles for browsing; and my personal rules vis-à-vis allowable play are still in place.

Given my affection for audio recordings of television as a kid, one can pretty easily plot the direct path to the fact that I now hear the phrase "A red letter N unfolds into a spectrum of colors" and my blood pressure drops by 10 points.

As a fan of a daily project kinda endeavor, the 1st of the month is always dangerous for projects to drop and, Lo! so it is that I introduce ※THE TAPE DECK DETECTIVE* ...Wherein your intrepid hoard-curious pal (w/ an assist from Johnny5) goes through her cache of cassettes, labeled and unlabeled.

For those seeking a little reliable moment of respite, may I offer you this: Go into your head: pull up a little mental video. On the video a small British-English speaking child has just asked you if you could turn on some "Dragonball Zed".

I'm entertaining the notion* that as a society we leaned into the word "zugzwang" instead of "2nd move advantage" just to avoid the proximity of the mixed pieces of "#2" and "bowel movement" introducing a quiet but perhaps distracting chuckle. *In a more accurate way, the notion is entertaining ME.

I understand some degree of "well, there's lotsa shared surnames in history" but, given Antonín & August Dvorak were technically alive at the same time, one must imagine some gently bitter feelings about fingering efficiency usurping the association space from composition complexity in re keyboards.

I'd erroneously thought that the movie "The Hurricane" ended with the entirety of Bob Dylan's "The Hurricane" and kinda wanted to hear it so I had pulled up the movie scrubbed to it, BUT they only use a ~69s excerpt starting with "...and that's the story of the Hurricane", which is arguably funnier.

If you find that you know the full lyrics to the theme song of the show "Gummy Bears", I regret to inform you that immunity conferred by your childhood MMR series may be waning. (From my forthcoming whitepaper, "The Body May Not Be The Most Diligent Score Keeper".)

More like "ma'ammogram", eh?

It is an exercise in my brain periodically to flip through the inner vinyl to remember its name so this laziness for my future Cable Guy self: but, if you've seen an assembly line or imagined a factory? The somg in your head is the back half of Raymond Scott's "Powerhouse". youtu.be/-jastEtNhGk?...

I think about the phrase, “As many languages you know, as many times you are a human being,” a lot. ...Particularly when rewatching a program in a different dubbed language and realizing that a voice can drastically change how detestable I find someone. It's wild! I may find my new Pizza Hat.

Years later, the echo of "How's the writing going, Fozz?" is indelibly linked to the Earth Song....probably because at some point in grad school I had scraped an mp3 of a video that merged this backstage chat WITH the song that follows. NEVERTHELESS, a good exchange www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvXk...

unniyappam, æbleskiver, or takoyaki is the international party game taking *my* mind by storm. (Last year when I'd pick up the discounted mixed munchkin cups with my mom's coffee, I considered how far one could stretch the triangle of lil' donut diversity and I didn't settle fully but I like it.)

※ClosedCaption Revelation, 3 Decades Later※ All these years, I had assumed it was a novel Japanese conversational interjection, but the interpreter for Shinchiro Ohta was just saying "Fukui-san?" to Kenji Fukui. (Mariam-chan, who hadn't thought about Iron Chefs for a while, is embarrassed) 🫑≈🍏!

I am on the last part (of 62!) of phase I of a project and, in considering how to reprocess data that someone else presented 5 y ago, I found an old email where I'd recompiled and made an editing suggestion which was not used! BUT THAT I COULD USE NOW?!? AM I DONE? www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zh4...

It's wild to be going through a team work made some 5 years ago that I am the first author on that I honestly do not recall being assertively party to making. I imagine maybe no one was proud of it and I was phoning it in and they were just like, "let's put it under her name, she'll won't notice."

I was across town and decided to try a new library (may get a little crazy and bring back #bibliotecadventures) and am both sitting on an amazing piece of 🔄chair technology AND overhearing a super wholesome conversation between 2 guys wrapping something. "D'ya need any help?" "Just moral support."

Pedants' Delight: A curious thing about a lot of Braille characters is that they're other characters (or even shortcuts for full words) when rotated 180°, (think like 55378008=BOOBLESS on a calculatorosetta stone) CONSEQUENTLY, when inverted & partial, the JOHN WICK card read "knowledge-inr sthe..."

"Stop! These are people who punch police horses when they're happy!" "Hey, that's a stereotype, okay: it happened 2 separate occasions." (🔔🦅✳️)

Reading the article about a sculptor $100k deep in a hole over mid work he didn't love, I feel inclined to note some guy at a tech company commissioned "The Unix Lizard" long ago, but got fired between asking and paying. (I loved it/it became incorporated into some hijinks/still lives in that lab.)

The first time I had a jacket potato on a work trip to Birmingham, I realized that maybe a perfect desert island food outside of gyros did exist. (Consider this: tuna melt totchos, side of pickles.)

I did not wake up this morning thinking I would be livid, hours later, about a format change to my terrestrial shower radio station of choice, but then again, WTF?! In what universe are Casey Kasem 80s countdowns and some Texan jabroni buying cars and spelling out slurs fungible audio properties?

'Alfonso Cuarón Alejandro Iñárritu or Armando Iannucci' is a party game in this household where during the last season of Taskmaster someone having a snap-to-grid moment said, "I can't believe he was behind Veep, Birdman, AND Gravity!" ("…Nor should you!")

youtu.be/VkDw9doIITE?... If I tell you what percentage of any given car ride is me looping the switch to the high harmonies from "In The Garage" on Johnny5's tape deck, you're gonna think I am a negligent driver. (FWIW, sometimes I just do it in park when I show up places early.)

Uncharted levels of percolatin'. (Technically, meeting up with an old boss did pick a scab that had sealed off a gusher of hateration, but we bandaged over it with soccertalk as he is an international.)

There's a flatter plains accent from which "deuterate" (as in HD exchange/swapping in of deuterium) comes out "dude-erate" in a cool Mary J. Blige portmanteau way and it really leads to effective earworm planting: there may be 30% more holleration in this dancery today. (…Stable hateration levels.)
