Ah, no way! Jimmy Stewart is like one of my favourite actors! I love how "down home" of a guy he always seems to be. He was awesome in "The man who shot Liberty Valence" which is probably my favourite western movie of all time.

I don't know what you think is pink, but the links are easy enough to make more visible. That'll go on the list.
(As well as, apparently, letting people writing a message know that a new message has been posted in the eternity they've taken to make their post "right". Oops.)

When I first met our new resident, I couldn't help but think there was something familiar about him. I mean, sure his hairstyle is a little old-fashioned (not that I'm one to talk about trendy hairstyles), but that wasn't it. Or maybe that wasn't just it.
He also has a weird way of talking. A little slow, a little deliberate, with a little bit of a funny accent. Which is strange, because he's from Edmonton.
Still I couldn't place it.
Today, though, was the first time I actually saw patients with him. And, as I'm wont to do with doctors I'm unfamiliar with, I sat back for the first patient and observed his style (it's always nice to crib parts of a doctor's rapport for your own use later.) But that familiar way of talking and familiar look became even more so.
And that's when it hit me. The 1940s hair. The slow talking. The slightly off voice.
Our new resident is Jimmy Stewart.
(And you have no idea how hard it is to work the rest of the day and have no one to say that to.)

whoa... this beta thing is shiny and new... though I'm not sure about the pink...
AND, Par, imo the links should be more noticeable than they are. the subtle colour change of the text is just too subtle. unless we're looking to covertly link things, which I'm not sure most people are.

Speaking of the Rambo movie, who would like to see it this friday?

It's also $6 for us working stiffs if you see the matinee (7 o'clock show).
Yes it was a good movie, makes you really think about just living life and taking nothing for granted. Just really appreciating everything you can do. Also the imagination of your mind and the power it has. Like Alison said really heavy stuff. Probally my top 10 for the year along with Juno, and No country for old men, still holding a spot for the upcoming Rambo movie.

So, The Diving Bell and The Butterfly was a good movie. not a good movie to go to while trying to ignore a headache (funny how the subject of strokes makes a minor headache seem more, uh, major), but all the same, so well-done, and such an incredible story. (and $6 for students) it's just... heavy.
I wonder if Jean-Dominique Bauby's book is available in English...

Don't worry Par, all this suffering will be all worth it in the end.
