atm i'm up to p99 of 549, of Charlotte Bronte's "Shirley", & so far still not even an allusion to any impending character called "Shirley", let alone an actual appearance of same. at this rate, pretty soon, i shall have to go with my secret hunch that this novel is in fact a bit of a dark horse, being actually an honorarium by CB to one of her fav actors, Leslie Nielson...

The internet was down, so we had to watch one of the movies on my local network.

We're watching #TheNakedGun for the first time in many years. Some of the humour and references are quite dated, but thankfully the slapstick bits will never get old.

#LeslieNielson was so fantastic at playing such a goofy character in a serious way.

Quick #introduction post

I'm a professor in #psychology at #BrooklynCollege of #CUNY studying human #cognition. I post about #rstats and other rabbit holes.

I'm a big fan of open-educational resources, and I turn my own course material into #OERs when I can.

I cycle on and off social media, currently on. I :ac_heart: #synthesizers, making #music and #art, movies with #LeslieNielson, #scifi, my #cats, and eating good #food.

See ya round!
