DR singdaw, lugging a walker holding a huge bag of laundry and supplies is enough. I have no wish to tote a chair with all of it. Until the building management sacked our last incompetent super and the new crew cleaned out the laun dry/trash room, repainted it, and got it looking spiffy, there were always chairs for the tenants doing laundry. I want replacements.

Weird dreams in which Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr were stuck someplace where I was living (not this house) and agreed to be interviewed. It went on for more than a day. They were pleasant. We got along great. And we stayed friends after they left.

TOD

Something or other inspired me to watch PUNCH-DRUNK LOVE last night, which was only my second time seeing it. I had been okay with it my first time a few years ago, even though I really do like Paul Thomas Anderson’s movies, but this time it blew me away. I’m now inspired to take a trip through the films of his that I have here, starting with the first, HARD EIGHT. It’s been too long since I’ve seen them, and for me, they only get better the more I learn to see in them. I have yet to see his last couple, so I have further treats coming later.

Read this this morning and found it interesting:

There's a technical name for why ideas happen in the shower. The "default mode network" is a pattern of measurable brain activity that happens when we're unfocused. When the brain goes into idle mode (reduced activity), this part of the brain actually becomes MORE active. What does this default mode network do? Research is ongoing, but part of it seems to be making connections, which is associated with curiosity and creativity.

This evening a friend is throwing himself a little birthday bash by having an informal open house type of gathering for friends to drop in at their convenience. They’re supplying food, drinks, cigars for those inclined, and they only ask that we bring some kind of appropriate food items that can be donated to a local food bank or homeless shelter. I look forward to it, but I sure wish the weather had cooperated. This will be outdoors on their deck, and it’s supposed to be raining off and on, and chilly. Time to get out the thermals.

Starting How rain o Steal a Million with Audrey Hepburn and Peter O’Toole. William Wyler directs. A man named Johnny Williams provided the fun score.

trying to type with both hands. It's odd. The forefinger is tingling a little, but it's beginning to pull its weight.

Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

Audrey Hepburn is delightful in this movie, but the Harry Kurnitz script is a yawn.

So glad you had a nice visit, DR Jane. And the dog was an extra bonus.

Thanks, and it was.  She was super excited.  Funny too as she wouldn't pet him from the front when he was looking at her, only on the back when I also pet him.
