 Mmm, fresh as the day it was hoarded.

• The high percentage of smokers that are ALWAYS in the big brother house. It's way higher than the general public. What's going on there?! Maybe so they can punish them by taking away the cigarettes? Who the fork knows.
• When a protestor interrupts a Donald Trump rally, he routinely says "They're professional agitators". Mr Trump, I think YOU'RE the professional agitator.
• Black Jelly Babies. They are the tastiest! Like I've always said, once you go black jelly baby you don't go back jelly baby.
• Hayfeves. That's my cool new word for hayfever. Aw man av got the hayfeves. Full blast. (Full blast is also my cool new phrase.)

• Lady From Shanghai Scene - Orson Welles and Rita Hayworth, I don't think I have to explain why this is good.
• Pennies From Heaven Scene - I love this movie, it is so underrated and it annoys me how regular people don't "get it". Basically in this scene, Steve Martin takes homeless guy for a meal. For some reason this movie really inspires me everytime I see it, the writing, the music, the set decoration, everything! Makes me want to go finish writing what Paul refers to as my "Woody Allen style movie".
• Gilda Scene - Johnny (Glenn Ford) is awakened by some distant music "At first I thought I was dreaming it. I'd been hearing her voice in my sleep for nights anyway..." then this scene ensues.
• Joseph Schmidt sings "Una Furtiva Lagrima" - From the 1936 German movie "Star Fell From Heaven".

• Daniel Negreanu's new house.
• The very underrated movie "Don't Bother To Knock" starring Marilyn Monroe and Richard Widmark.
• Right now I am watching the Phoenix channel, a show called Jade Guanyin, I obviously don't know what they're saying since it's Chinese but there is a guy I've named Stephen and he's crying at this very moment. Breaks my heart to see young Stephen cry. (he may also be on drugs, I think that's what I've gathered)
  
• "In my case, self-absorption is completely justified. I have never discovered any other subject quite so worthy of my attention." - Waldo Lydecker in the movie "Laura".

• When I was on the bus today the driver looked exactly like Nathaniel Fisher Sr. Then a guy in a car was driving towards the bus, he also looked exactly like Nathaniel Fisher Sr and was rustling around looking for something in his car. I was sure episode 1 of Six Feet Under was about to be re-enacted (with the odd exception that Nathaniel Sr would be driving the bus). It didn't happen.
