Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Heh, I didn't Google, I remembered. (Of course, I just realized I forgot a 1pm meeting, but I didn't really want to go). Was Urgent Four the Central Park Jogger? (Aha, Yup: [link] Because she has written a book and can jog again, but is not up to her previous investment-banking career and probably won't make anchorperson anytime soon either.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Jesus!

The family has had more than its fair share of tragedies. Balthazar's father, Paul III, was kidnapped in 1973, and when Paul I refused to pay the ransom, his ear was cut off (the ransom was then paid)

Is this true? That's so... whoa.

he couple's first child, Cassius Paul Getty, was born on July 17, 2000

unfortunate name for his child

UB313 has been determined to be larger than Pluto. If Pluto is a planet it's hard to think of a reason why it wouldn't be the 10th planet.

I guess the undecided question is are there 8 planets or 10 planets now.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

I've only seen one episode of One Tree Hill and the only thing I remember about it was that Moira Kelly was playing someone's mom and I kept waiting during the whole episode for her to say "Toe Pick!".

Shit's all sorts of different now.

So, for those knowledgable about Philly, what are the cute neighborhoods, that are kinda suburby? Would looking into New Jersey be better?

Aha, NOT the Central Park Jogger. A different woman raped and beaten about the head and left for dead in Central Park. How cheery. Here's the Central Park Jogger [link]

Glass half full? Barely a quarter full and that's arsenic!

Dude, there's a reason why I'm alternating between "The Worst Day Since Yesterday" and "Grace of God Go I" today. Flogging Molly understands my curmudgeonly angst!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

the general public vastly underestimates the damage with head injuries, and Oliver Sacks essays underscored that

The general public also underestimates the extent to which Oliver Sacks is a good wrtier, but a terrible doctor.

The reason my sister's friend is now an ex-patient is because he was kicked out of the office for having a seizure in the waiting room. As in, he was waiting for an appointment, he started to have a seizure in the waiting room, and Sacks called security.)
