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.

I went to college with some state legislators, but that's as good as I can do. Well, I guess some famous people went to my grad school, but I never saw any of them or paid any attention to who they might be.
My most ridiculously talented classmate
We had one of these who went to a great performing arts colleges after high school, but from what I've heard, I think that the adjustment to the wide world away from home was too much. I think part of it was that expectations were so high, too. She had the most amazing voice and could act like woah.
Violent Femmes, Arrested Development lead singer (Todd Thomas) - I think that's all I got. Todd I actually knew, at least to say hi to.
I feel like I should have someone famous. I don't think I do, though.

I knew Tift Merritt in high school, but I don't think she's up for a Grammy or anything. I was good friends with Sarah Jones, who won a Tony last year, in college.
I know someone who's won multiple Grammys! For liner notes.
Good--I am back from a visit with my mom, who came through her glaucoma surgery like a champ, buoyed, I think, by how well Obama did on SuperTuesday. She got well enough to go out for a ZILLION meals with various relatives while I was there and to see Sweeney Todd, which she loved.
Bad--I got up at 5 am Eastern time to return the rental car and make my first plane, then got stuck in Salt Lake City for 6 hours. It is truly the World's Most Boring Airport. I am tired, sticky and cranky...but home
Jason Bateman is decidedly unhip
