Starting MySQL from a Terminal

I am always going to the MySQL Manual because I've forgotten some little thing. Like to start the damn thing. Because I'm not in MySQL all the time, I don't want it running all the time. But when I go to login into it, it's not running, and the command to start it has just fled my head. Every single time. So here it is, for Mac OS X.
shell> cd /usr/local/mysql shell> sudo ./bin/mysqld_safe (Enter your password, if necessary) (Press CTRL+Z) shell> bg (Press CTRL+D to exit the shell)
You should now be able to connect to MySQL by running '/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql'.
