I’m watching an episode of The Orville (title “Primal Urges”), and the writers threw in one of those random funnies just now, and I had to share.
What a dick!

Denotation and Connotation
A thought that I just shared with a friend:
There’s a distinct difference between denotation and connotation, and I hate the “sledgehammer-like language” that I have to use when I’m forced to pretend that connotation doesn’t exist.

Work On Not Wasting My “Up Moods”
At any particular moment, I could say I’m in either an “Up Mood” or a “Down Mood”. I need to stop wasting my “Up Moods”. It’s not useful (in this case) for me to try to figure out “the why”. I should, instead, be having fun during my “Up Moods”.
You know, it’s pretty obvious to me that for the 1986 model year, GM built both cars named in the post’s subject on the same platform (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Motors_G_platform_(RWD)). The first car I drove was a 1986 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Luxury Sport. 😉

Have you ever been so “taken” with a movie that you just had to write about it? On one hand, I realize that it’s pretty much so good of a story… so transparent, that plenty of folks are going to roll their eyes and dismiss it. Honestly, though, it just hit me really “hard in the feels”.

Wait until you have about 30 free minutes, and then watch (and listen to) this YouTube video. After that, read the rest of this post.

Eureka Déjà Vu
I just had a “déjà vu moment”. I’ve been catching up on the TV series “Eureka“, and I just finished watching the last episode. Trevor Grant (played by James Callis) asked Henry Deacon (played by Joe Morton) if he wants to “change the world”.
My mind instantly went back to the line that Steve Jobs used on John Sculley (“Do you want to sell sugar water for the rest of your life or do you want to come with me and change the world?”).
I made a post in my previous web log over 15 years ago, and I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately. The post took even longer than usual to settle on the point. So, I’ve decided to copy just the relevant part into this post.

All Theoretical
I found myself following a random link to a YouTube video (by the way, “the LHC” [mentioned in the video] is the Large Hadron Collider, if you were wondering). There was a lot of time in the video given to words by a woman named Dorota Grabowska. Dr. Grabowska is a senior fellow at CERN.
