it's the little things...

at the end of the day it's all about noticing all the little things...

the guy at a bar I was at complained to the bartender that the salad on his plate was really bothersome and how he had asked specifically to not have salad on his plate... (WTF??)

when someone jumps and clicks their heels together (think Mary Poppins) lifting one leg in the air before you jump creates the illusion of both legs being in the air for longer and jumping quite high...

in the movie Wit (great great movie) Emma Thompson doesn't REALLY not have eyebrows, they just dyed them a light blonde so that people can't see them...

young Israeli fathers that love playing with their kids in the park are collectively one of the most attractive things in this country... (or maybe just for me)

my cat has a particular meow when she first sees me (or anyone, really) in the morning, and it almost sounds like she's saying "good morning" in her own kitten language...

i am very good at remembering random names and telephone numbers that aren't important and all and information and knowledge i acquired during college that could be quite helpful seem completely erased from my short and long term memory...

well-placed pauses in songs (in some ways this is the same is interesting syncopation) can be extremely important and unique. it seems odd to appreciate the silence in a song, but if you pay attention to them, they add great character to music...

the split second when you can see a flash of satisfaction on a person's face (before the nervousness sets in) as they do something courageous and decide to take a risk...

ok... those are all my "deep thoughts" (SNL style) for today...
