Things You Just Found Out/Learned Recently?

For years I've been trying to find out who this girl is in this Four Seasons video...



Some people guessed it was Yvonne Craig (of "Batgirl" fame), whom she does resemble, but you can kind of tell it's not her.

Finally people submitted that she is Arlene Martel (a.k.a. Arline Sax).
She's notable to Star Trek fans for playing T'Pring (Spock's betrothed in "Amok Time") from the original series!

Soderbergh is high as shet.

I learned too late perhaps, that it's THE COUNTRIES that win Best foreign Langauge Oscars, and not their DIRECTORS... which is kinda lame.

I recently learned the proper way to write a film, which dominoed into improving the rest of my filmmaking abilities, which has really helped my output. I also learned that I influenced my kiddos into liking to make films too.

You might wanna contribute here, like share something of yours for us to watch?

Dwyane Wade got a statue and it was perfect.

Maybe I just haven't verbalized it, but I can't stand when a character talks about dark/heavy topics while smiling/smirking.

I've had Budokan forever, and it's alright, but it didn't ignite a fire to check out their other stuff. I generally don't love melodic guitar pop, as I find a lot of that music makes a real quick first impression, and then fizzles as you realize it was little more than an earworm that hooked you.


But I've been getting into buying dollar bin records recently, and for a couple of bucks, I just figured why not when I saw a copy of Dream Police. It couldn't be worse than the third rate Steppenwolf and probably first rate Genesis records I was scooping up.


And it was great.


And then I found In Color in the same store a couple of weeks later. And it's even better. Pretty much back to front great records. And it's just not about the hooks. There is both an emotional core to these songs, as well as a defiant weirdness, that speaks directly to me.


So first thing I did this morning was order their first album from Amazon while listening to Southern Girls before going to work.


I sat on these guys way too long, and there is no excuse. I've heard the good things for years, but just assumed it was all going to be proto power punk shit, which I avid like the plague.


But I was very wrong.

That James Randi ("The Amazing Randi") was gay.

Randi (1928 - 2020) was famous for being a stage magician, scientific skeptic and a debunker.
He was also famous for his million dollar paranormal challenge which offered a reward to anyone who could present paranormal powers under Randi's conditions. No one ever collected the reward.
At the age of 82 Randi came out, announcing that he was gay.
This was surprising to me only because Randi showed no outward indicators that would lead anyone to think he was gay (i.e. he didn't fit any stereotype except that of a former magician turned debunker with a keen analytical mind).

There is a name for that smirk. It's called the duper's delight.

How big were the cheeks?

Hey now, watch it with those sensitive comments.

I beg your pardon, kind sir. I did not mean to offend.

I learned that recovering a Facebook account is near impossible.

I also learned that I lose interest in things quickly.

Wow, you sound like my Doppelgänger.
