I now finally understand what the expression “age is just a feeling” means. Sometimes I feel like a child roaming around fairy land and other times I feel like an eldritch being a few thousand years old stalking the lower plane. Thank goodness it’s just a feeling.

I just watched "Mulholland Drive" for the first time. Read nothing about it beforehand. Many impressions, but one sticks out. Intellectual property plays a key (ha) role in this movie, where the (rightly owned) name of the role is joined with the "right" name of the person.

"Dude" is such an interesting word. It informally signifies that someone is "cool", "hip", "friendly", and "relaxed", and it can more importantly imply that someone is "nonthreatening". It could then be used rhetorically to diminish someone's importance or standing.
