Apparently all of MO is being struck by the worst allergy (pollen count) in 
years.  People who don't HAVE allergies are having allergic reactions.
 
Two months of absolute drought and triple digit heat here followed by a few 
nights of hellacious storms -- large (3 & 4 feet diamater) trees thrown down, 
thunder which wakes those of us who would sleep through a freight train going 
through the bedroom.  Humidity at .......I dunno -- as high as it gets?  You 
walk outside and are instantly drenched.
 
I'm becoming agoraphobic just for cause of the weather.
 
btw, Judy, sometime in the next few days when we're both feeling more cognizant 
I'll tell you about my Mom's idiot Dr.

I have a sinus thing too, I thought it was a Brit sinus thing -- it's cool and 
damp here, people are getting zapped by opportunistic infections...

 I <ahem> religiously watch Life of Brian every Easter.   I think it's a far 
more compelling and better piece than the other Monty Python movie, which name 
I forget and  which is better known and which, since I have a sinus thing going 
on and my computer is going to s**t I'm too lazy to look the name up.
 
On the bright side Monday I am being shipped a brand new computer with one 
gigabyte of RAM and 80 GB fixed disk space.  If I'm still alive I'll be in 7th 
heaven.  Wait.  You have to die to go to heaven don't you.  Okay, I'm going to 
have to take some time to figure this out.  Erin -- can any of the German 
philosophers help w/ this one?

"Monsieur Ibrahim" is actually a very nice movie. Perhaps Irene was expecting 
"Snakes on a Plane". The movie is set in a neighborhood in Paris. It's one of 
the best depictions of daily life in Paris (asides from La femme Nikita). 
 
Last night, friends came over and we watched "Life of Brian" (Netflix). John 
Cleese shows up under various disguises in many scenes. The movie stays fresh 
because of its parody of the Judean People's Front, People's Front of Judea, 
and the Judean Popular People's Front. It also satirizes the origins of 
Christianity. The Romans get it too. In fact, everyone gets it. No wonder the 
Baptists burnt down a movie house over this.
