Filming the torture scene in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 where Bellatrix is torturing Hermione at the Malfoy’s Manor proved to be very intense for the actors involved (Most of the scene was cut to avoid an R rating in the USA and a 15 rating in the UK). So intense and brutal as it was that Helena Bonham Carter approached Emma Watson right afterward to make sure they were still on good terms.

I hate linguistic anthropology. Why? One of the most influential experiments in linguistic anthropology involved teaching a chimp asl. One of the most influential linguistics is named Noam Chomsky. You know what the chimp’s name was?

Nim Chimpsky.

Fucking monkey pun.

And this is in textbooks, in documentaries, everywhere. And everyone just IGNORES THIS GOD AWFUL PUN cause of how important the experiment was. But

BUT LOOK AT THIS SHIT. FUCKING NIM CHIMPSKY. I HATE THIS WHOLE FIELD.

Its not just the linguistic anthropologists.

There’s a group of very important genes that determine if your body develops in the right shape/organization… they are called the hedgehog genes, because fruit fly geneticists are all ridiculous.  The different hedgehog genes are all named after different hedgehogs.  And then someone decided to get clever and name one “sonic hedgehog” because this is just what fruitfly geneticists do.

Well sonic hedgehog controls brain development, and now actual doctors are stuck in the position of explaining to grieving parents that their child’s lethal birth defects or life-threatening tumors are caused by a “sonic hedgehog mutation”.

And this is why no one will invite the fruit fly people to parties.

Biogeochemical scientists, upon discovering the complex mechanisms that govern the storage and use of molecular iron on our planet, decided to call this cycle “the ferrous wheel”.  We groaned about that for at least five solid minutes.

In Organizational Psychology you study how companies put in place CYA’s as a protection.  Yes, in Organizational Psychology “Cover Your Ass” is a technical term.  This is why the Social Psychologist don’t invite the Organizational Psychologists to the brew pub at the end of the semester.

The Great Philadelphia Comic Con: Amy Jo Johnson Panel + Interview

Getting to meet Amy Jo again was a real pleasure. Please enjoy. Interview @33:18.

Amy:  “Jules is Srgt.”

Me from off to the right:  “YES, SHE IS!”

*We exchange fists in the air*

My question starts at about 12:50.  And I realize I greet one of my childhood heroes the same way I greet my client inmates: “Hey, how’s it goin?”  Bonus of my butt when I go to sit back down.

Me (shouts):  “It’s Marvel, nobody cares!”

Amy Jo Johnson at Philly Comic Con

So yesterday I met Amy Jo Johnson at the Philadelphia Comic Con (and Johnny Yong Basch, and Austin St. John), and at her panel I asked her if, since Jules always seemed to have some sort of a connection with and was so compassionate and understanding with the would be jumpers in Attention Shoppers and A Day in the Life, she ever created a backstory for herself that not Jules’ “friend’s mom” had committed suicide, but that Jules’ mom had.  She answered that no, she never really gave herself a backstory for Jules because she’s more of an instinctual actor rather than a trained one and when she tries to do that kind of work she sucks.  She said that she was actually really drawing from the script itself and the fact that she had two friends who had committed suicide.  So, that’s just one little example of how NEITHER THE WRITERS NOR THE ACTRESS ACTUALLY GAVE JULES A BACKSTORY.  So pretty much, the only true backstory for Jules’ character is whatever your pretty little head cannon and fanfiction wants it to be.

General James Longstreet (Confederate)

One of the most prominent generals of the war, and later one of the Confederacy’s most controversial figures, this picture of Longstreet was taken at some point after the war had ended. We find him looking well-fed and distinguished, with his salt-and-pepper beard perhaps betraying a touch of artificial help in his very dark hair.

Longstreet was one of the best generals on either side, a senior corps commander in General Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia for much of the conflict. His finest moment came perhaps at the Second Battle of Bull Run, when he led 25,000 men in the largest mass assault of the entire war to rout the Union Army’s left flank. After the war, Longstreet became the most senior Confederate to join the Republican party during Reconstruction, supporting his old military school friend Ulysses S Grant’s bid for the presidency 1868. Longstreet later served the US government in a variety of roles, including Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire. Derided as a traitor by many in the South, Longstreet was blamed for the defeat at Gettysburg and much else besides, and his reputation has only recovered in recent times.

So, I finally got a job in which I can help protect the public, help people turn their lives around, and be a Negotiator.  Sweet.
