Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

There's a column in the Times about Latino Goths in the Bronx [link] which calls Hot Topic the H&M of Goth, which seems about right.

There's a possibility that I'll be in Columbus this coming weekend, Cashmere. I'll let you know when I'm sure, and maybe we could hook up.

OK, has anyone else seen this show The Messengers on TLC? I've just seen about 10 minutes of it, and is it really American Idol for motivational speakers or preachers? WTF. Weird.
Edit: Good lord, it is.
The power and force of the spoken word and the motivation it inspires are the essence of the new TLC program The Messengers. This innovative eight-part series kicks off July 23 at 10/9c and has a simple yet lofty goal: to find America's next great inspirational speaker.
They take a field trip, give a speech, and the audience votes someone off. Crazy.

Btw, Ohio/Indianaistas: I'm sorry I missed you this summer. We ended up crazy overbooked and didn't get to see anybody.

Early this morning, my parents headed back to Alabama after a short visit. They called at 1:30 this afternoon to say that their van was on fire on the Atchafalaya bridge west of Baton Rouge. They had smelled smoke and barely gotten out with my brother (who's retarded and cannot walk, so they'd luckily grabbed his wheelchair and my mom's purse, too) when the whole thing burst into flames, destroying the van, their luggage, and a couple of thousands of dollars' worth of office equipment they'd stopped in Houston to buy. My brother started having seizures on the bridge, and they ended up taking an ambulance into Baton Rouge where he was treated and released fairly quickly. Their insurance company told them that it would cover the ambulance, the tow truck, and a rental, but not the van or the contents.
Anyway, that was a crazy close call, but now that it's been a few hours, I'm thinking the main outcome here is that there's going to be a sharp upswing in their demands that we move someplace closer.
