You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

What is even happening?
The TV theory (I haven't read the article, just Tom's quote) makes me wonder which comes first in a chicken/egg sort of way and puts me in mind of the old, "Blame the woman, she must have been a cold mother," autism-theory that was popular when we were young.
The thing is, depending on how it manifests, parenting an autistic child can be exhausting, and TV is particularly appealling to some autistic kids, and a respite for their parents. I suspect there's never going to be an answer for autism, so much as a set of precautions parents can take. Less TV is never going to be a bad thing.

Had a really lovely weekend with lovely people. Managed to get a window seat on the train home. Sadly, I was a moron and picked the side in which I'd be facing into the setting sun most of the way, but that promoted eye closure and napping. Managed to get cat home from boarding. Did not manage grocery shopping, but I think I'll survive until this evening.
Now I need to work. Hrmph.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Our wings are not tired.
Hey Tom. I'm here, just pretending to be working. Popping in while waiting for someone to check my script before I run it.
How's it going with you? Skippy girl here. Has your eye finished with the fixin', or is it still being troublesome?

Hi Laura.
Things are going OK. The eye improved somewhat after the treatment thingie, but then things have stayed the same for the last few months. After Thanksgiving it will be six months after the treatment, so they can do it again, and it's possible I'll get a higher dose this time. So I'm crossing my fingers.
