I got a bunch of flowers at work yesterday, which was a nice surprise. Even more surprising was the occasion: Secretary's Day.
Oh. Okay. Got it.
I wonder who at the IRS had to write this article, and if writing it made them cry: Topic 357 - Tax Information for Parents of Kidnapped Children
Highlights:
- "The child must be presumed by law enforcement to have been kidnapped by
someone who is not a member of your family..."
- "This tax treatment will cease to apply as of your first tax year beginning
after the calendar year in which either there is a determination that the
child is dead or the child would have reached age 18, whichever occurs first."
Last night, I dreamed that I quit my job at the bakery/barber shop. This was difficult news for the Italian owner to take. "Whatsa matta you," he said, and hugged me. Then he got serious, and stopped having an outrageous accent. "Before you go," he said, "you must solve one more mystery for me." He unscrewed the base of a barber chair to show me some clues. And that's how I began The Case of the New Jersey Colognes.
Irritatingly, I don't have any memory of what the clues were, or what the actual mystery was. It's like my brain is serving me teaser-trailers for someone else's more interesting dreams.
IMDb entry for Short Circuit (2010):
Updating/re-imagining of the classic John Badham film where Number 5, one of a group of experimental military robots, undergoes a sudden transformation after being struck by lightning. He develops self-awareness, consciousness, and a fear of the reprogramming that awaits him back at the factory. With the help of a young woman, Number 5 tries to evade capture and convince his creator that he has truly become alive.
