"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Sorry, ita.

David, the stuff you're quoting is the stuff that demarcates vegetables from the rest of us. The Times has been doing a series on the brain-innjured in Iraq (from Iraq, in the US now), and it's really startling the injuries people survive these days, ending up in non-vegetable format.

maybe unable to read; maybe halting in memory or easily confused or a hudnred other possible outcomes, but -- when you've seen a guy walking despite a fist-size section of his gray matter missing, you've got to be impressed at the brain's recovery abilities.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

RIP, the telegram. Stop.

Not reading the head trauma posts/links.

Balthazar Getty looks like some bastard lovechild of Patrick Swayze and Corey Feldman. (Or Corey Haim -- whichever one was in The Goonies.)

Aimee, you have too much Corey knowledge. That frightens me.

As well it should, my dear. As well it should.

My NKOTB knowledge is legendary and equally frightening.

I've been looking at the job openings at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute again. It's been that kind of (avoidant, escapist) day.

Calling Sue, there's one for an Archivist, but they want you to have a science background or undergrad degree.
