      Editing … I'm actually not sure who it was. I got picked up in the car, and we stopped to refuel in a town populated by some very creepy people. I can't remember too much about the dream, but I think the townspeople might not've spoken. Actually, I think they wouldn't even move when we looked at them, at first. Then it became apparent that they were creeping closer, they clearly wanted us dead. We went back into the car. It was real small on the outside, like a japanese smart car, but it had the space of a van on the inside. The macaw would fly around as it managed its copilot controls and other engineering hardware around the car.

      Editing … Did you know that macaws have a lifespan of 80-90 years? There are some exceptional accounts of the bird living around 100 years too. They're one of the longest living birds, but the study of bird lifespans isn't perfect, as the oldest records for some of them date back to like the 1920s. Not much time to study too many 90-year-old birds. By some accounts, the kakapo might be the longest living bird, with an average lifespan of 95 years. 95 years, for the only FLIGHTLESS PARROT! Flightless! There aren't all that many of them, less than 150 have been accounted for, but the scientific community's conservation efforts are to thank for that number, as before the removal of feral cats from their habitat their numbers were I think around 80. 95 years. Unbelievable.

      Editing … I've thought about getting a bird, but they require a lot of care, and I wouldn't want to keep one in a small cage. Better to just have a jackdaw living in my backyard. Jackdaws are some of the most social birds, hell, one of the most social animals, being one of the few wild animals that goes out of its way to live amongst humans. I've read many accounts of neighbors of jackdaws, telling how they'll behave when allowed in and out of their house. That sounds like a good human/bird relationship. No cages, and those wings get put to use.

      Editing … Jackdaws actually have a pretty great skill that many intelligent animals--such as dogs and chimpanzees--don't, that being to tell the intentions of birds and humans by looking at their eyes. Sounds useful.

      Editing … I don't think I'd want a chimpanzee, but I wouldn't mind having a bonobo friend. Bonobos are probably the most promising primate when it comes to learning to communicate with humans (via sign language and lexigram), which is probably aided by the fact that they might be the only non-human species incorporating context into their language. They're clearly able to demonstrate original thoughts when communicating with humans, which is incredible, as with chimpanzees it's easy to come out and think they're just repeating phrases they were taught, without knowing what they mean. I should dream about a bonobo.

      Editing … One time I let myself into my friend's house without really giving a proper knock, and his cat ran into the hallway and hissed at me. I went over to the couch and went "hey Meowtilda" and snapped my fingers, and then she immediately relaxed when she recognized me, and ran over to get her pets. Guard cat. Her name's Matilda but I call her Miss Meowtilda.

      Editing … One of my other friends had a cat that, strangely, grew afraid of certain parts of the house. It was very odd, and it would change over time. At some points she was scared of the upstairs--she wouldn't walk up there, and if carried, her heart would start racing as she ascended the stairs, and she'd jump out of one's arms and sprint back downstairs. Another time, she was scared of the first floor, and would either keep herself trapped in the basement or the upstairs. I really have no idea what caused these fears. She ended up dying exactly a week before Puss did, though Katie (that's her name) hadn't shown any health issues. She was just lying on a chair and passed away there. So strange. At the end of her life, Puss wouldn't have been able to jump on anything, but Katie, who was perfectly energetic, made her way onto a chair and then passed away, probably in her sleep.

      Editing … I've been showing the Planet of the Apes series to a friend, and right now we're watching #Planet of the Apes. It's set in its own timeline, but with a very similar style to the original five films (down to the same outfits and use of #Roddy McDowall--and #Zaius!), which makes it a bit of an oddity. It's pretty cool. The dynamic between humans and apes isn't the same as with the film series, it's real neat.

      Editing … A shame they didn't get #Kim Hunter... but perhaps one fleeting role is good enough. #Zira's the best. Roddy McDowall's played three Planet of the Apes characters by the way--#Cornelius, #Caesar, and Galen, whose page I don't want to add until I finish the show. What a guy. Sure, Star Wars has had plenty of actors who cameo once or twice in each new movie, but how many actors have played multiple major roles in a film series? I guess we had Warwick Davis play Flitwick and Griphook in Harry Potter.

      Editing … Warwick Davis is also one of those aforementioned actors who get to cameo in each Star Wars film. He started off as Wicket in Return of the Jedi + the two Ewok Adventure movies (and before that, he did play himself/Wicket in Return of the Ewok, a mockumentary that's had a very limited release). After that he played three characters in The Phantom Menace, and appeared at least once each in The Force Awakens, Rogue One, The Last Jedi, and Solo--the latter film having him reprise one of his three roles from The Phantom Menace. Oh, and he's in Rebels.
