"Brotherhood"

"Brotherhood" (the Korean one) is on SBS2 tonight - it is a great film which depicts the horrors of war better than most films. Highly recommended to watch!

Arduous work tasks

A couple of my co-workers had a bake off, and I was roped into being one of the judges.

The compulsary round was brownies, and there was a freestyle round. One did a cheesecake, one did a coffee cake.

Everything was excellent.

I think I have diabetes now.

Shinto Priest

officiated over wedding ceremony between Japanese man and his video game lover. His new "wife" is not an IRL avatar persona but a computer designed video game character.

Kind of harmless I guess.

Could you cross a lion or tiger . . .

with a domestic cat?

I know dogs, wild and domesticated of all shapes and sizes, and incuding wolves etc can mate and produce offspring but is it the same for cats?

HOW FAST ARE YOUR REACTIONS?

The driving manual says the average driver's reaction time is:
.75 seconds................... or 1 car length for every 10 mph......

Test your average reaction time.

Be very careful this can be addictive.

Big alarm bell, isn't it?

The fellow I was going to see next month (thinking hard about cancelling my ticket) wrote the following to me last night:

"Ummmmm let me see now. I have allot to tell you, but if anyone from the Department of Psychology at --- contacts you please do not listen to them. There is a particular member of the department that I've "Met" that has proven himself to be an exceptional thorn in my side. You have no idea the length this man will go. So please do not listen to them if they ask you to stop returning emails or phone calls."

Leaving aside the scariness, he's a horrible speller.

Am I doomed to draw strictly from the crazy pool?

compromising yourself

recently i was put in a situation that i vehemently disagreed with, but due to my clients' wishes , i had to follow through.
it wasn't unethical, i just thought it was greedy.

there was some tension between us. we talked it out, and we agreed that we disagreed but were still on good terms.

it's odd that feeling. i mean, i really like her, but i really disliked what she did. she is fundamentally a good person. i don't know where to slot it in my mind.

do you get what i mean?

(that's it for OPs today.)
