In all affairs it's a healthy thing now and then to hang a question mark on the things you have long taken for granted.

i was going to write a “haha” post about how google doesn’t know how to spell ‘hide’ correctly, ‘til i realized they were actually saying ‘hid’. so i move on…
well, almost. instead, i just unchecked it from my itunes library so now i won’t have to hear it again when my music’s on shuffle.
Lemme tell ya somethin’
If you didn’t come to party
Don’t bother knockin’ on my door
I got a lion in my pocket
And baby he’s ready 2 roar
- Prince
“As the resident music-head at a Hollywood film production company, I was tapped to design a music video for Michael Jackson and his brothers in 1980 […] After a brainstorming session and a riveting a cappella performance of the song by Michael at the kickoff meeting (featuring some gravity-defying dance moves that, alas, predated moon-walking), I was asked to take Michael on a tour of the production facilities at the company, Robert Abel & Associates.
“As we walked through the facility’s maze of hallways, camera rooms, and special-effects labs, we encountered the chief film editor, Rick Ross, who was cutting and splicing a TV commercial. Rick was wearing a short white cotton glove on his left hand as he ran the film through his fingers, looking for the yellow grease-pencil marks he had made on various frames of film to be edited. To have a little green box of these disposable gloves sitting on the editing bench was standard practice for film editors in those days.
“Michael, who hadn’t shown any particular enthusiasm for the tour so far, seemed suddenly transfixed by the glove and politely asked a number of questions about it, concluding with, “Could you spare one?” But of course.
“The rest, they say, is HIStory.”
(John Kehe, Christian Science Monitor)
