RNF XXV

Random Neuron Firings

I did not know there has been a tiger shelter operating in my town for the last 10 years. Odd.

Good Monday to you – I hope your weekend was delightful! Before I get to my day, which largely consists of being chained to this box, updating tour accounts, some RNFs:

So yeah, Mad Men. What a great opening episode last night. Full of symbolic dialogue and images (as usual), with a couple of surprises thrown in.

One of my favorite characters in the show is Sal, the closeted gay art director: completely Manhattan-Italian-hip, smooth, debonair, and hopelessly unhappy and repressed (read: married). He represents to me the whole of the cast — a bunch of upwardly-mobile, complicated, successful people, trying desperately to be someone else at all costs. It’s a fascinating look at human nature. I luv it.

The Thriller officially starts his graduate education today. From 9 until 2, he’s at the seminary for orientation for the Licensed Clinical Counselor program. I am excited for him! Here he is, just before leaving this morning. I had to take a picture, you know, like your mom did when you left for your first day of school.

All he’s missing is the backpack and the lunch.

==============

Off to my day at the box. Stuck doing update work. Boring, but at least I’m air-conditioned. (Nasty hot/humid today.)

      Why thank you, Tom. I’m seriously thinking about getting him a Twilight Zone or Rawhide lunchbox (shows that were in prime time when he was a kid) to carry around. Wouldn’t that just be precious??

    Speaking of lunchboxes, when y’all come to the Big D, I’ll take you to eat here:

    They serve some great samiches & they serve them in an old-school metal lunchbox :-)

    I’m glad that you didn’t go into any detail on MM season opener. I recorded it & haven’t watched it yet. But I hear it’s a doozey!!

      Funny you should mention this, Suz. For his birthday, Kay and Bob got him a box of crayons, glue, pencils, markers, etc — everything he’ll need to start school. HA
