The Shining

Flood of Blood on Highway in Berlin reminded me of that classic (and creepy) scene from The Shining. What a great movie.

What's great about this next story is not just that "Doh!" was voted as a top catch phrase, but that it's in the OED. This is the definition:
"Expressing frustration at the realization that things have turned out badly or not as planned or that one has just said or done something foolish. Also implying that another person has said or done something foolish."
Doh!.

One more news story, and then it's on to more personal things for the day. More and more I find myself agreeing with the French... Paris wants designer jeeps off the road.


Story of the day: I got off the bus this morning as usual, and this woman ahead of me put her sweater up over her head. It was a moment like on every sitcom or in every movie where a woman steps out into the rain and immediately pulls her sweater or coat up protectively over her head. The odd thing this morning was that it was a beautiful day. No rain, no wind...nothing. So the question is, what was she doing??? Any thoughts?
