Eek! I remember that day.

At times, there was more education going on in the lunch room than in the classrooms… 😉

That’s the same expression I have on my face when my colleague has been speaking continuously for 5 minutes without pausing to inhale and then I see her brain short out and shut down for .05 seconds to force her to inhale. In another arena, she’d be a champion at synchronised swimming, I tell myself. This does not make it less traumatising, especially given that I am claustrophobic.

LOL! Yes, it was Olivia’s expression that caught my eye on this one. I did a double take to make sure it wasn’t ME sitting on the bench, as that’s how I look on days that I am forced to leave the house and deal with people… 😉

I was going to ask you if that was from Snake Pit, then noticed your tag. I saw the movie once, many years ago, so I’m kind of proud of myself for recognizing it.
But back to the pic, yes, troubling times, those high school years.

I’m proud of you as well, as I find movie-trivia knowledge to be an admirable trait in a human being. Slight confession: I knew it was Olivia in Snake, but I did have to do a bit of research to find out it was Celeste Holm as the slightly-trampy bench partner. (Have you ever used the “search by image” option on Google? I didn’t even know it existed until recently, but it allows you to upload an image and Google will search by that image instead of just a search term. It’s a nifty little miracle, actually, and it has somewhat restored my faith in technology…)

I’ve not heard of this image search before — sounds intriguing and wonderful and oh-so-life-affirming! Thanks for the tip!

I’ve known about the Google Image search for a long time. Does that make me one of the bitchy girls or simply sort of a know-it-all…or a bit of both? Forgive me. I just read “Dream A Little Steam of Me” and am still trying to get brawny plumbers with tools out of my mind’s eye. I think that’s gonna take some time…

Oh, be proud of your knowledge of Google Image, as it’s a wonder thing. And the image of the brawny plumber has never left my mind’ eye, as its one of the few treasures I have left even it he isn’t real… 😉
