A few months ago japhrimel showed Dragonfly and I the pilot of Eli Stone, but it didn't take, obviously, until a couple of weeks ago when we randomly decided to watch the second episode because I'd agreed to watch *one* episode of something before bed and didn't want to watch anything I was invested in. So much for that.

We have TWO episodes left of Eli Stone *mourns* We were supposed to watch them this arvo before Dragonfly went to work, so that I'd be fixation-free tomorrow and can finally focus on my uni work which, to no one's surprise, I am YET again massively behind on.

Except that japhrimel came over today and introdused us to Lie to Me and then we had to obsessively watch the other three eps immediately. It's about a consultancy team that get called in to judge whether people are lying based on their tells, body language and facial expressions.

Awesomely, when explaining a 'gestural emblem', 'an unconscious gesture with a specific meaning' to a laymen they show stock footage of famous people doing the gesture. In one ep a character rubbed his face with his middle finger while talking to his best friend, and they were like, now why is he mad at him? And used pictures of politicans demonstrating hostility.

President Obama has just said "Senator McCain has served this country honourably." It amuses me.


And then I got sidetracked for an hour or so watching Obama vids.
