The tendency of a lone diner a. to look up in a café or restaurant, and b. to move the eyes horizontally across the view-field while taking a bite of food or drinking from a cup, bottle, or glass.I don’t know, I just like the idea of something like this having a name.
I’m in a good mood.
Wildest fantasies, part I
“Methinks” is a useful archaism but a faintly irritating one. Is there such a word as “mehopes”? This would be both useful and elegant-sounding.
“Methinks” has always struck me as something one says having found oneself with one’s ponytail inextricably ensconced in the wheel of the horsedrawn mead cart at the Irvine Ren Faire.

Un 24hr Voyage à New York
My friend Joseph took a quick business trip to NYC and made a surprisingly moving little film with his iPhone.
A “photo-romain” I composed while on a cross-country business trip. Maybe you will find some bit of joy in it. Perhaps not.
(May I suggest full-screen so that you can read the subtitles, though they are not necessarily necessary.)
Ceremonial Dance of the Dead Bug
Is this is a common dog thing? When my dog sees a dead bug, he flops over and writhes around on it. Is it to make sure the bug is properly dead? Is it to coat himself in the scent of the bug, like perfume or to intimidate the other dogs? Does dead bug make good emollient and if so, should I try it?

Ever get the feeling you’re watching something shot entirely on accident, like everyone involved woke up the next morning and had no recollection of the previous day? Directed by the Károlyis.
