What's this button for?

Happy birthday, Ernest Hemingway!

They were seated in the boat. Nick in the stern, his father rowing. The sun was coming up over the hills. A bass jumped, making a circle in the water. Nick trailed his hand in the water. It felt warm in the sharp chill of the morning.

    In the early morning on the lake sitting in the stern of the boat with his father rowing; he felt quite sure that he would never die.


Indian Camp, 1924

Which film?

There's a film I remember seeing on tv as a kid. I don't remember the name or any of the actors. I only remember one scene. The main character is in a college cafeteria, having an argument with his girlfriend. Possibly she's breaking up with him. At the same time he's getting a glass of milk, I think, but the machine is malfunctioning and the milk keeps flowing. He has to keep finding cups and glasses to keep it from overflowing. Anybody knows which film this is?

It's probably not a Kubrick film.

Pancakes

Breakfast can be tricky in a new country. Back in Norway I used to have sandwiches with slices of banana, blueberry jam and a dash of potato salad. When I moved to France I stopped eating that since I never found the right type of potato salad. I rather switched to cereal. In Montreal I found one that was pretty close to the one I'm used to, it's called Morning Crisp or Croque Matin. But really, if I'm in another country, shouldn't I use that opportunity to try something else?

So I bought bagels. But there's no toaster in the apartment, I will have to buy one. In the meantime I'm eating buttermilk pancakes with syrup. It only takes a minute to heat them in the microwave. Very good, and quite different from the flat French pancakes - crêpes. Oh, love that Hellboy strip, by the way.

I knew these people
