The Hit List – I want answers

I want answers to the following things:

Why, if Happy Days was based in the Fifties, did Potsie, Chachi, and Ralph Malph have hairstyles that were straight out of the Seventies?

Why do people who bitch about social media remain on social media?

Why do DJs for rock stations all have short hair and conservative views? What happened to sex, drugs and rock ‘n roll?

If you dislike someone, why would you go to their blog, “hate read”, and then whine about it?  Why not focus on stuff you like instead?

Why do Grape Nuts have neither grapes or nuts in them?

Why didn’t I buy an iPhone with 64GB instead of 16GB?

What does it feel like to have Botox injected in your face?  And can you feel it wear off?

How come it’s blazing hot the one week I’m in Portland?

What causes deja vu?

How on earth can anyone get bored when there is so much to see, do, feel, learn, and love?

I bet you want answers on what’s in that glass above?  It’s an onion terrarium with green almonds and charcoal oil.  And yes, it’s edible.  Just another whimsical and delicious creation from the talented chefs at Castagna restaurant in Portland, Oregon.  This was seriously the best meal of my life!

Other stuff:

Hilarious: If True Detective Was Kindergarten Cop

Back in the old days, they were concerned about “bicycle face.”  Good thing I never got into bikes.

There are some female politicians in Texas who are doing what they can to fight for women’s rights to control their own bodies.  Leticia Van de Putte is one of them.  Great interview.

This is a movie I’d love to see: Boyhood.  It was filmed over twelve years!  You get to watch the young actor grow up on camera.  What a cool idea!

Cats the musical may be getting a hip hop makeover.  Rapping cats? Yeah, I’d go to that.

How not to attract women to coding: Make Tech Pink. What is it with pink?  Seriously.  I can’t stand that color.   Must everything girl be frigging pink?

Great advice on how to spend the first ten minutes of your day.  For those who love to plan, we salute you.

Science just discovered how to make sure your earphones never get tangled again!

Tarot lovers, I have good news for you: Mark McElroy at Tarot Tools just released the fantastic A Guide to Tarot Card Meanings.  Get it get it!

Funny stuff: a map of dirty sounding places from around the world.  My favorite is Spanker Knob in Australia.

André 3000 as Jimi Hendrix?  YES.  Interestingly, the Hendrix estate refused to allow his music to be used in the film.  Bummer.

I’ve been diving into Sally Hoghead’s How the World Sees You: Discover Your Highest Value Through the Science of Fascination.  This is a must read for entrepreneurs.  (I’m the Provocateur.)

 

What I’m Grateful For:

Seeing old friends and catching up

Meeting new friends

Sunblock

Timeliness

Comfortable space

Air conditioning
