Trudy, my heart goes out to your friend and her son. Lungs are pretty incredible (and have self-cleaning mechanisms). I hope he recovers quickly.
Faith: A kid. Angel's got a kid. Wesley: Connor. Faith: A teenage kid born last year. Wesley: I told you, he grew up in a hell dimension. Faith: Right. And what, Cordelia spent her last summer as… Wesley: A divine being. Faith: Uh-huh. Can I just ask--What the hell are you people doing?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I am in awe of his Mom (I've always been a little in awe of her). He looked dead when she pulled him out and she yelled, "A____, come back here!" and shook him and then he looked at her.
I'm not sure if that's how it works of course, that we're getting all out-of-body and ordered back in by our Mom here... but I sort of love the thought that it could be.
I really love that they can oxygenate his blood and give his lungs time to clean/be cleaned.

“Not dead yet!”
Anyone else freaked out over the "having a baby for german engineering" VW commercials?
::raises hand::
They just bother me on so many levels, I can't even begin to articulate.

I was totally flabbergasted by the first one I saw. At first, I thought I'd accidentally tuned in to some comedy show with a dark twist. When I realized it was a real ad, I got totally squicked.

Mercy is the mark of a great man. [beat] Guess I'm just a good man. [beat] I'm alright.
Trudy, I'm sticking my head in to wish your friend and her son well. Your post was the first I'd read about it.

Skipping even more than the sadly-usual amount of posts, because according to the Buffista Calendar, today is a triple Buffista birthday: Matt the Bruins fan, Cashmere and megan walker all celebrate today. Is that a lucky day, or what?
Happy birthday, Matt! Happy birthday, Cashmere! Happy birthday, megan! With lots of wishes for each of you for a great day and a wonderful year!
Also, to those who celebrate, a happy Sukkot! This is the one Jewish holiday in which there's a "halakha" (of sorts) to be just that - happy. So happy holiday!
Um, especially to sarameg - often when I walk around the streets here and see the actual sukkot I think about how you write about seeing them around you and liking them. It's like one of the loveliest holidays we have here waves to me from across the ocean, through your lovely descriptions. I love that.
Oh, and, um, of course, as-happy-as-possible Monday and rest-of-the-week to all. Yes, I insist on the "happy" in this post. Sorry.
