...carry you away. 1. Drink every time Jude Law looks pretty and confused at the same time. 2. Drink two shots when Law and Julia Roberts kiss the first time.

Large, slow, regular waves signal a coma, anesthesia or a dreamless sleep; smaller, faster, spikier ones correspond to being awake and alert. These waves are not like the useless hum from a noisy appliance but may allow consciousness to do its job in the brain. They may bind the activity in far-flung regions (one for color, another...
