Was there even continuity in the early James Bond films?
Like, does he learn something in Goldfinger that he applies in Moonraker?

I remember a news magazine episode with a guy who worked out that a yearly trip to Costa Rica to get all of his medical and dental was less expensive than private insurance.

I suspect I have some kind of never diagnosed processing disorder because memorizing seemingly arbitrary rules is next to impossible.
This affects crochet and multiplication tables, but also things like games. I’m quite good at strategy, but I need to be reminded of the rules 700 times. Annoying.

Working on the collar. Looks pretty good so far and I’ve only needed to watch 3 YouTube videos (admittedly a couple of times)
A chunky knit, but we sometimes call the dog “Missouri Slim” so I have confidence he’ll pull it off.

Take some solace in the fact that it’s finally the correct verb tense.

Look, reviewing movies from 1997 is possibly the least destructive use of the man’s time at the moment. I say we encourage him.

She was asked about this prophetic quality of hers, and Atwood said that writing is asking yourself “what if?” Handmaid‘s Tale, for instance, she looked at what these would-be the theocrats were saying and tried to work out realistically how they would be able to do what they said they wanted to do.

She also mentioned that when she’s writing, she works out the year a character was born and how old they would’ve been through major events because she felt that really informed the characters reactions and behavior. She would make charts or timelines of character’s life.

She was also very tickled by the idea that the interviewer put forward that writing a sequel is very similar to writing a memoir, in terms of reworking ideas. She chuckled and said “the memoir is a sequel to my life.”

She seemed more optimistic than she did a year ago, which is nice. I’ll add more to this thread as I remember it.

The art historian believed that the strange little figures in Bosch’s work were meant to be illustrations of medieval astrological figures. The palmistry meant reading both hands. The dominant is the hand you play, the other the hand you’re dealt.

She also talked a little about the star chart that’s in this memoir. She said she learned it to draft star charts, and read palms from a Ukrainian art historian one very cold winter in Calgary.

She also told us a story about meeting a man who had been a camper at a summer camp, where she had been a counselor, and he insisted that she had “forced him to stroke a toad.“ She said “that’s nonsense. No one can force you to stroke a toad. I invited him to do it. I suggested the idea.”

…a young Margaret Atwood in a continent he never knew existed would be reading Canterbury Tales in high school and getting something out of it. She said “when you read Chaucer, you read Chaucer’s words. You are not having a relationship with Chaucer because he’s been dead for centuries.”

However, the writer and the reader do not have a contract. The writer does not know who their reader is across time and space. She said that Chaucer would have no idea that hundreds of years later…

She said that the writer has no contract with the reader. The writer’s contract is with the book; to make the book the best book that it could possibly be. The reader also has a contract with the book, in terms of interpretation and gathering meaning from it.

Admittedly, that poster might very well find an attractive confident woman hard to live with, but that’s really on them.

I had a student who was friends with the “mean” girls and they ensured that her social transition was smooth. They were very protective and supportive, which was great to see.
