Thanks guys. I realized that I brought my Arlington library card into my friend's office today so, at your behest, I searched there. They've got ProQuest, but not a lot of scholarly stuff. I'll check to see if my American U card is still valid when I get home.

That This American Life episode was hugely helpful. Thanks Jesse!

Thanks everyone. Today is leg day for mac. First the brace place now the dr. In between we had dunkin donut cofee (on the gift card mac gave me for gift (no hand drawn card tho)), subway for lunch per mac's request (new to him amd he liked it), and I got a sigg bottle (one I got for christmas was a design I do not like).

Happy birthday, msbelle!

Yay! I just talked to my dad. According to him, they've gotten the pneumonia pretty well under control and are dealing with a secondary infection. The doctor's talking about sending him home on Saturday.

I can see that--tall and thin, with looks that seem somehow malleable.

He's quite pretty in some of those pics. In others it's Dr. Reid kissing a girl which is kinda weird.

I think Dr. Reid IS beautiful! But MGG is far more my type than anyone on that show-- I can objectively see that Shemar Moore and Thomas Gibson are good-looking, but they do not ping me.

I agree with you, although I was going to say skinny and weird looking.

The emotionally vivid hat has been returned to its owner.
