Oh I totally forgot the time I fell down my friend's narrow, carpeted basement stairs while carrying our drummer's bass drum and felt like my neck was twisting under me. Maybe not close to death but paralysis? yes. Fortunately I pulled out a landing that just left me bruised. And then the bass drum fell on top of me. We've had a love/hate relationship ever since. And I won't ever carry it again.
Where'd they get CAT scan from?... I mean, did they test it on cats? Or does the machine sort of look like a cat?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
A lovely bit of IMDB snippetting:
A psychologist at Harvard Medical School has heatedly criticized Sesame Workshop for producing a DVD aimed at babies and toddlers aged 6 months to 2 years. In an interview with today's (Tuesday) Washington Post, Susan Linn, who is also founder of the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood, called the DVD "a betrayal of babies and families" and added, "There is no evidence that media is beneficial for babies, and they are starting to find evidence that it may be harmful. Until we know for sure, we shouldn't risk putting them in front of the television." But Rosemarie Truglio of Sesame Workshop, which produced the DVD with the child-development group Zero to Three, insisted that the Workshop, which also is responsible for PBS's Sesame Street, "did a lot of research and preparation" for the video. However, Zero to Three cofounder T. Berry Brazelton is lending his name to the opposition, urging that "children under two be kept away from screen media. It's too expensive for them physically as well as psychologically," he said.
So what does it do to kids? Cancer? Immolation? What?

Best thing. Last summer when I was in the middle of dealing with Mom's chemo, a friend of mine dragged me up to Charlottesville for a long weekend of not dealing with Mom's chemo. It was a sanity-saving mini-vacation. She's probably the only one who can convince me to do things when I'm in real heel-digging mode, too.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Christ, why?
The universe trying desperately to bring me and Bowie together at long last?

You're going to try out for the part of singing Bruce Lee?!?
You could totally do that.

We'll be in the same city.
Frankly, the universe seems to be being a little bit round-about for my tastes, but that's really not my call.

It would so be spectacularly daring casting, if so.

Really, lets not question the wisdom of the Universe. It has its reasons.
