I was listening to the soundtrack for the movie American Beauty, when my mind wandered enough for me to ignore the music... it then came back, and that music sounded a lot like the soundtrack of Finding Nemo. So much I thought I was listening to Finding Nemo! That's how far my mind wandered...
So I checked and it was still American Beauty...
So I checked who wrote that music. Thomas Newman!

And who wrote the soundtrack for Finding Nemo?
Yep, Thomas Newman!

Interesting...

Watching Blue Planet, and I've just discovered something really bizarre: land-dwelling fish.

Drinking moonshine and watching Supernatural with my other half.

A.J. Green has scored 3 TDs and I own him in 3 leagues.

It's a shame that nobody thought of the perfect candidate for the job:



Seriously, this may just be the misanthropy and my Malthusian leanings talking, but after four years of Judge Holden with a crappy wig in the White House, even someone with the goal of killing off half the life in the universe randomly would be a step up. At least that makes sense.





Christ, my recent jaunt through the entire MCU up to Infinity War was inspired by my discovery of the ending to the film and my desire to watch the film and truly appreciate it.

Edit: I just realised I put this in the wrong thread. This was meant to be in the "Democrats 2020 candidate" thread.

Busy night. Went to the dentist to get my new crown installed, then stopped in for the last 20 minutes of a writers' group meeting, then baked some shortbread for tomorrow night's Astronomical Society meeting. Did a tiny bit of writing, enough to keep my "write every day in September" streak alive.

So close:

Should be sleeping because of an early morning

Reluctantly got my day started so I'm out and about. Waiting on breakfast at my usual spot.

I'd like to go back to bed, but I haven't been anywhere in nearly a week now so it will do me some good to get out of the house for a few hours.

Something really weird happened last night, and it continues to be an unsolvable mystery.

I was trying to put the top on a jar of pickles when it slipped from my fingers and fell through a portal into a parallel universe. I heard it clatter but didn't hear it hit the floor. It couldn't have fallen on the floor because I was too close to the counter for it to get past me. But it wasn't on the counter. I brushed the floor with my foot, but it wasn't there.

It vanished. It must have fallen into a world where pickle jar lids are sentient beings with thoughts and feelings of their own, and now it doesn't want to come back and be my inanimate tool anymore.

I dumped the pickles into a plastic storage bag, but I still want my lid. I don't want to be stuck with this unfalsifiable mystery hanging over my head.
