One of my parents' friends is starting a campaign to get his husband on What Not To Wear! I'm super excited, because I love that show! And he needs it. Also good for defying the stereotype that The Gays are well-dressed.
But she was naked! And all... articulate!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'm watching 60 Minutes. The guy they based Rain Man on apparently learned to speak Icelandic (well enough to be interviewed in that language) in a WEEK.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Kim Peek, right? He's awesome. His brain is like no other brain, maybe ever.

Daniel Tammet--the British Guy. He's autistic, too, but much less impaired than Kim Peek. I thought there was more than one savant they used for Rain Man--at least they mentioned the movie in this interview.
Edited--
I'm paying more attention, now. He MET Kim Peek and they call him Brainman.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
They also at least interviewed Christopher Knowles when they were developing the Rainman characters. (It's mentioned here: [link] .)

msbelle is an awesome mom for making sure mac knows all about rocketships!
t, you reminded me... next step in office plan: get firesafe lockbox.
I was gonna say the same. The filebox I got is just a plastic rubbermaid and I'm thinking I should've gotten the firebox one. Didn't occur to me until later. Birth cert, passports, social security card, insurance and bank stuff...it's all in there.
1 hour to part 2 of Jane Eyre!

Our wings are not tired.
That forced me to watch 60 minutes. DH always watches, but I rarely enjoy it.
Talk about spicy brains.

So, maybe Angelina Jolie wasn't so psyched at the Golden Globes because her mother was dying: [link]

My bc is the original issued filed (I misread the thing) by the hospital. Which means it is a really crappy copy of the original filed with the state, but with the actual sig of the local deputy registrar.
What I find interesting (and irksome) social commentary is that it states my father's profession, but there is no such box for my mother. There's more info on my dad on that form than there is on the woman who carried me. @@ 1975!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I think mine had a space for my mom's profession. I'll have to check when I get it back.
