Finally watched Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987) for the first time!
No one does exasperated better than Steve Martin. And John Candy, so bittersweet in this.

Young Frankenstein (1974) and Dracula (1931), last weekend's pre Halloween B&W double feature.
First time watching Dracula, which looked great for a nearly 100-year old film.
Young Frankenstein is an old favorite. Such a good cast.

It’s ‘per se,’ not ‘per say.’
It’s ‘dog-eat-dog world,’ not ‘doggy-dog world.’
It’s ‘hunger pangs,’ not ‘hunger pains.’
It’s ‘one and the same,’ not ‘one in the same.’
It's 'buck naked,' not 'butt naked.'

It's come to my attention that October 8th is both International Lesbian Day AND World Octopus Day. So #Earpers know what that really means: it's Horny Nicole Haught Day.

Things I ate in Scotland, a thread.
The obligatory Irn Brus and Tesco sandwich. The Tesco was convenient, but I was really craving a hot lunch after a few days.

Let a visiting coworker use my office while I was away. Came back to find these little critters had taken up residence all over the place.
I think I found them all, but time will tell.
