So, I dont watch Mad Men but I did take the Bradley training course last summer. We watched two twilight sleep birth videos and they were very upsetting. Even in the one where the woman was more alert, they wouldn't let her touch the baby because she wasn't sterile.
Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
That's such a creepy phrasing, "twilight sleep" anyway.
I don't think they gave that phrasing for my wisdom teeth, although I was definitely awake and aware for all of it. The best bit was that I was reading "War & Peace" at the time, which the surgeon (my friend's dad) remarked on. To this day there are some bits in that book that I remember that aren't, in point of fact, in there.
It just seems like such an awful way to go about it all.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Q: Betty's hospital and delivery scenes were intense. How did you prepare?
A: I tried to do a little bit of research but every person I asked didn't have a clear memory, because of what they went through...

Trust my rage
So, I've been watching Burn Notice from the beginning, after catching most of S3 on TV. (btw, I mentioned Fiona's accent upthread and in the 2nd episode they had a comment about her staying in Miami with a "new life and a new accent"). Anyway, I don't find the main actor (is it Jeffrey Donovan?) all that attractive, except that when he's just standing around and staring, all spy like, I can't look away. Anyway, I guess I'm just amused that I keep coming back for more.

“Not dead yet!”
I keep coming back for Sam. It disturbs Lewis monumentally-- He's like, "Sam? Sam? You've got the hots for Bruce Campbell? That's eccentric, even for you."
ETA: because I was posting in a hurry.

Psst. Bruce Campbell.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
This is a very nice corner, I must say.
