Watched it last night with my wife and a friend of ours. Said friend lived in New York for about 10 years. We had a ball!

I see. Constant paparazzi hounding got to her. She was travelling with her young child. Mark Knopfler once said he couldn't think of a single good thing about fame, not even getting restaurant reservations.

Being famous has always struck me as a good way to be sure that folks'll get the opportunity to show their entire ass to people, as it were. She didn't cover herself in glory here, but, boy howdy, I'm not sure I'm ever crankier and more wired than I am as I get off an international flight, and I don't have kids and am decidedly not famous.

By most accounts the money and access are great. Constantly being hounded by reporters, paparazzi, and random people every time you go into a public place sucks worse than we can imagine.

I've made far too many life decisions using a decision tree like that. Well, "decision tree" is really a nice way of say "oh god is that cool, must get now!"

This is what I found (Björk's Attack on a Reporter in Bangkok Is Legendary, but Why Did She Do It?) -- apparently some combination of jet lag, stress, and traveling with her child, if you can trust Distractify.

Specifically, she had asked the press to not bother her when she was out with her 9yo son (which she was); promising to talk to them at a later point. And the particular person whom she attacked had apparently been bugging her for about a solid week.

So, when the pestering journalist approached Bjork who had just gotten off a plane with her son and said (paraphrasing) “Howdy, Bjork”, she unleashed some Viking fury on her butt.

Reporter going after her child, just after dealing with a stalker in the UK.

Who did some weird suicide, and attempted mail bomb.

All entertainment is metaphorical. All writing is shorthand. You cannot replicate experience or truth.

Currently redoing service tech certification for a manufacturer's computers, because sales rep let my cert lapse in a hand-over from the previous rep. I've done the training and now have to get at least 80% on the testing, however, through the lessons several of the simulations didn't work properly and some of the needed reference materials, used in the test, either don't exist or deny access. Fun.

EDIT - Complete at 90%. First time I've gotten less than 100% on an open book exam, precisely because of the missing/inaccessible materials. I can finally order repair parts again.
