TFW you discover a restaurant called The Dessert Spoon but it's actually The Desert Spoon with no desserts on the menu at all. Similar to when I found a Bake Shop that turned out to fix brakes. Damn my eyes.

I forgot to type "-ai" in google search when I asked for the "pH for salvia plants." The answer came back as 6.4 - 7.4. Great, but it was giving me the pH of human saliva and went on to talk about tooth enamel. Can't AI even READ? SHUT IT DOWN.

This is a fun first. Words I wrote in an actor's reel. Great job by Joseph Rene and Aaron Ramos who performed the scene (2nd clip, as two almost step-brothers). #scriptsky vimeo.com/1222866500

Good gravy. My script has "cell," "phone," "cellphone," and "cell phone," with a "company mobile" kicker. Help. What DO we call these things? #scriptsky

TFW you watch 95% of a movie but miss the ending, then you get another chance when it replays a couple hours later and you STILL manage to miss the end, and then you finally glue yourself to the chair so you catch it the third time around -- and you wish you hadn't. #scriptsky

Name a TV show you're positive no one remembers but you. The Rogues. It had Gig Young, Charles Boyer and David Niven but incredibly, only 1 season.
Charles Boyer talks with a beautiful woman. They look like they are conspiring.

Boost your unit's morale with this easy trick discovered by a Brigadier. Enemy generals hate it!
secondbeatsongs posted:

somehow instead of saying "as a treat", I've started using the phrase "for morale", as if my body is a ship and its crew, and I (the captain) have to keep us in high spirits, lest we suffer a mutiny in the coming days.
and so l will eat this small block of fancy cheese, for morale. I will take a break and drink some tea, for morale. I will pick up that weird bug, for morale.
I'm not sure if it helps, but it does entertain me

hidefdoritos replied:

OP I hope you know that this changed my life and nearly eliminated my guilt over enjoying things.
And I've delighted almost everyone I know with the phrase, leading a few of them to use it back to me.
Anyway just letting you know about this little sparkle of wonder. For morale.

It seems that all I need after a pitch is flattery and I'll be buzzing as though I signed a deal over ten cups of coffee. Kind of pathetic. But this was a good night and I pitched to a cool exec who loved it, so I'll be up awhile. Gotta bask when I can. #scriptsky
