Lost my job as a proofeader for no reason at all. Guarantee some DEA hire is going to take over the roll for fewer pay.

I mean, a lot of people were born that year. Roy Scheider? Omar Sharif? Peter O'Toole?

Surely not Debbie Reynolds?!

Johnny Cash?
Can I buy a vowel? Phone a friend? Pray to Cthulhu?
Or was it Tony himself?

Elizabeth Taylor, Tony. Or John WIlliams if you want to go more long term careers...

Across the vast gulf of network TV channels in the 80s, they were scrutinised and studied by me, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinise the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water.

And slowly, and surely, I drew my plans against them.

Quit bragging! ;-)

Some of us had it inflicted upon us, although it was long, long time ago... back when the phrase "Kylie and Jason" had a meaning beyond "name two bogan names".

Thunderstorm with hail in Sydney tonight, which was very well and good until it somehow opened & stuck the electric garage door (lane-facing), with our stuff & easy access to house. So I thought: why *not* fiddle with power in the middle of a lightning/rain/hail storm? Fixed, but I smell burnt toast

We invested in air filtration too.
I had COVID twice, and I don't recommend it.

Goldie? Let's just say an engineer I worked with who worked with him said Mr G is not exactly "musical" in the traditional sense of the word i.e. understanding pitch, harmony, structure, etc.
YMMV
Personally I'd rather listen to a broken exhaust pipe but I am old(ish) and cranky. Hate OOT vocals

I can see serious legal issues coming out of mixing up those two words, depending on the size of the nuclear reactor.

Same, as it happens.
A long time ago.

Are we cursed to repeat our mistakes and therefore our regrets instead of changing course? And as you say, can we use those regrets as a kind of marker to find a better direction ethically (and morally, I guess). Do you think everyone has regrets about their choices?
I guess pobody's nerfect.

Going to have to start an ERRC-based shoe store, because I feel that somehow I need to get in on whatever nightmare financial bubble is going on at the moment - and this sounds like a conflagration which nobody's thought of.

As I always say when travelling in Germany, 'je n'arrive pas à croire que ce ne soit pas du beurre - sérieusement.'

They pretend to think I'm crazy, but you know what the French are like. I'm part French (lower left leg) so I know whereof I speak. As they say in France, 'was auch immer sein wird!'

Is gained knowledge irreversible considering some of the people we deal with? Some people seem to have a brick wall at a certain percentage marker of learning, & that's all she wrote.
Also, distressingly, I've heard some people don't have an inner monologue, so... maybe awareness burden's selective.

I think one could make a reasonable armchair diagnosis that Freddy Krueger from A Nightmare On Elm St has - at the very least - borderline personality disorder, untreated skin rash, and possibly hysterical pregnancy.

Halloween involved an unsecured heavy framed painting falling on my head from a high shelf. Was trying to squish a large bug which the storm had driven in. Now I can't remember math or the years '91 - '94.
Had literally finally got over pneumonia same day(ish).

Don't tell ME Samhain isn't cursed!!

I forgot a microsecond that it's Halloween in your neck of the woods now (we had ours in Sydney last night, complete with massive thunderstorms right on dusk :-) and thought you'd undergone a rather massive fashion shift.
Very nice recording, though!
Happy Halloween from the land down under.

This is our curse, and our joy.
