Connie, great news on the surgery!
I'm listening to samples off of Voltaire's album Boo Hoo. It's pretty funny. He's got a song called, "BRAINS!"
Dude, even *I* have that song -- it's from The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, and if you are around and can hop on AIM, I can shoot it to you.

I met an 18-year-old girl tonight who looked like this amazing combination of our Jen K and Natalie Portman. It was a little unnerving, actually, and I almost asked her if she had a sister in Boston.
Connie, very relieved to hear the surgery went well!

She's not planning on moving to NYC anytime soon, by any chance?
ETA: Also, yay good surgery of course!
Oh, connie, good news. Much deserved hoorays.
Good news, connie!
Teppy, isn't that always freaky? I was in Chicago once and saw a girl who looked just like me. So much so that the world got all woozy and I couldn't figure out how I could be standing in such a way that I could see myself like that. It was like I was having an out-of-body experience.
Jen! So good to see you!
I have a question.
I keep seeing ads for
Murder Ball
and they keep describing them as "a quadrapelegic rugby team". But if they can use their arms aren't they a parapelegic rugby team? It confuzzles me.
Here for just a moment. FIxed profile. Contact email cabil@aol.com.
Still interested in SDCC meetups.
Quadraplegic is reduced function in all four limbs, Trudy. I think it's a point made in the movie itself.
Thank you, ita, it's been driving me nuts.
Hi Trudy!
Technically, the word 'quadriplegic' refers to a person who has paralysis of all four limbs. The more correct term for someone who has weakness and reduced function in all four limbs but still retains some voluntary control is 'quadriparetic'. But that's almost never used outside a health care setting; in common usage, 'quadriplegic' often refers to both.
