Yogurt parfait:

Just read the first para and am laughing hysterically cause it's so true!

Ha! I often feel like somebody's mom at the shows I go to. Rock Gen-Xers!

Yeah. I think my sister and I were the two oldest people at the Fiery Furnaces show a month back....

Even I feel old at concerts, and I'm not all that old.

It is a story about 40-year-old men and women who look, talk, act, and dress like people who are 22 years old.

And why not, I say! I think this is a problem for my parents. They don't understand that, like, all my friends who are even older than me still act like I do. Like "a kid," or whatever. Apparently adults don't sit down and watch cartoons. I guess that's why M. Night Shyamalan is now a giant Avatar fanboy.

(Also, my uncle, when he saw me reading Sandman, said, and I quote, "Cartoons? At your age?")

I refuse to be an adult.

Excuse me while I get back to work with Buzz and Woody.

I liked the article, but I don't think we're trying to stay in with the kids as the author suggests a couple of times. We're just continuing to be ourselves and enjoy the stuff we always enjoyed. At least that's how it feels for me.

isn't the apocolypse like, Saturday night to you, hon?

it is possible that there is truth in this. Couldn't settle for the #2 murder city, could we?

That's great news for the Reason clan! Voice of Reason, The Black Book - now with more Loomy Artwork ! ::runs away. looks new and clueless::

And for me. I don't care what the kids like. I care what I like.

Hah. K-Bug just called me. She is at school trying to donate blood, but she has stumped the nurses. One of the questions on that list of a zillion is "Have you ever had a blood related disease" and she answered yes. When she was little she had Histiocytosis which is an orphan disease, it affects about 2 out of 250,000 kids each year (I think that is the current stat - at the time she was 1 in a million). Anyway, the disease is not in their database and they are having to call one of the doctors who works at the blood bank. She has been in remission for over 14 years - it should be fine.

I think it is funny that she has stumped them.

Will K-Bug mind if at some point in the future I call in sick to work with Histiocytosis?

Go for it - you will stump someone, I'm sure.
