Monday's Missives

• "Mike Church is a Los Angeles private detective who specialises in finding missing persons. He takes on the case of a mystery woman who he calls Grace. She is suffering from amnesia and have no memories of her own. She keeps having nightmares involving the murder of a pianist Margaret, by her husband Roman Strauss in the late 1940's. In an attempt to solve the mystery about these nightmares, Church seeks the help of Madson who is an antiques dealer with the gift of hypnosis. The hypnosis sessions will soon begin to reveal some surprises.' IMDB



• Watched the movie Dead Again by accident- absolutely would not have touched it with a ten foot pole if I'd read the above synopsis and had not just stumbled upon it one lazy day. Pretty good, interesting, cute little movie.



• I have seen chaparrals aka roadrunner birds catch a small snake and bash its head against a rock to kill it to eat it and another catch a small lizard and try to impress a female- just like in the documentaries. He would bash it against the gravel and hold it up to her and when she would turn away he would more emphatically whack it against some rocks and hold it up for her approval.



• The things we do for love.



• It wouldn't do for energy drinks to be free to me- I would be a freak.



• In Iraq it was two Red Bulls and two Hydroxycut before each mission. I think I got shot once- and didn't know it. I healed like a super hero because I was so jacked on caffeine and ephedrine. KBR guys had mountains of Red Bull- literally.
