Rats will show you love and companionship though! My sister one day brought home what I think was a retired lab rat. It was huge, cream coloured, fearsomely fanged and friendly. It would climb up onto your shoulder and go to sleep snuggled up against your neck. Way more affectionate than any hamster we ever had.

Disqus, would it kill you to put the fan on rotate so we could get a breeze, too?

Strawberry Corn Flakes! Are they regular corn flakes with strawberry things in with them or are the flakes actually strawberry flavoured? Is it strawberryey enough to flavour the milk like strawberries?

Disqus, I wish you were from some other era than this one so I could just remember you fondly instead of actually having to deal with you.

To Catch a Thief! I hadn't even thought of finding a Monte Carlo movie, I am definitely in a Monte Carlo mood right now. I do have To Catch a Thief here somewhere so I'll remember it for my next movie night after Muriel. Oh, Monte Carlo snacks, that offers so many possibilities.

Disqus, if you were a Koolaid flavour, it would be called Tepid Turnip.

Those are the places I would love to visit, the old candy shops and noodle restaurants! Do they take a lot of care over presentation? I think a beautiful candy box definitely makes the candy taste better. And I guess there must be some little shrines tucked away in quiet places that haven't changed much? I was…

Disqus, your nickname is Disqus. Because I can't be bothered to remember two names for you.

With Ozu its also that he's one of those artists that just can't make anything less than beautiful! In Autumn Afternoon there's a scene where they visit this old teacher who is now running a noodle shop. It wasn't until they try to slip him an envelope of money that I realised he was supposed to be poor! Its like,…

Disqus, do you can some of our posts in oil to save for the long winter months?

Floyd, those are hilarious, I'm crying! Clickhole really is the funniest thing on the internet now! Have a great weekend too!

Disqus, do you pick the Os out of our posts to save for breakfast?

That is very sad about your local supermarket. Will another shop open in its place or are there empty businesses? Do you know if the cashier had another job lined up? Do your cities work the same as here where all the big stores are kind of on the outskirts of town?

Disqus, why is your sketchbook filled with drawings of Val Kilmer?

Claudia, I could talk about Hiroshima mon amour forever! I wouldn't even know where to start! I mean, its obviously the most amazing looking and sounding movie, it made me really feel like I'd spent a day and a night wandering through the city. But the subject matter is so grave. I kept wondering while watching it…

Go ahead and try to annoy me, Disqus! You won't be able to today!

As soon as I got back from my walk I had to check the cupboard to make sure I hadn't dreamed the Koolaid arriving! Its so beautiful! And its in the little boxes that stores put on the shelves! Oh, and its American Koolaid too, I can tell because there's no French on the package. So that makes it extra exotic! …

Disqus, I bet you think you're annoying me there on your front steps blasting Danger Zone from your Radio Shack boombox, but you're not! I'm just in too good a mood right now!

I LOVE the look of canvases stacked against walls! Some of them facing forward and some facing the wall so you can see the stretcher bars. And maybe a few empty frames here and there. In a room that always smells just a little like linseed oil! What I find really fascinating about artist studios and apartments is…

Disqus, I was glad to hear you did chalk art, but then I saw its all pictures of you flying fighter jets giving the thumbs-up sign.
