The monkeys aren't exactly tame, but they're not too fearful either. They never look you in the eye, which is considered a challenge of authority. (More pics after the jump.)
One of my recent trips to the mountains north of Tokyo was to the Jigokudani Monkey Park, where the macaques warm themselves in the hot springs. If that's not enough to keep their interest, the park tosses tiny food pellets in the considerable snow cover surrounding the springs. The adult monkeys split their time between hanging in the hot water and searching for food. The youngsters add a third significant activity: playing. The monkeys aren't exactly tame, but they're not too fearful either. They never look you in the eye, which is considered a challenge of authority. (More pics after the jump.)

A poster saw the eyes of "Barbara Linehan, a [famous] psychiatrist..." I believe s/he was referring to Marsha Linehan, PhD, a "famous" PSYCHOLOGIST [they are not the same!], who developed a manualized treatment of the person with Borderline Personality Disorder and chronic suicidality - "DBT."

"Desire" and "fantasizing" were conveyed by the makeup, not by the actual facial expression.

Odd. I was also not very far above the "not good at reading expressions" threshold, which really doesn't surprise me. Me + most people = oil + water, socially speaking.

And can we also talk about how there's a difference between playing "desire" and actually desiring something or someone?
