I would have loved to have worked at NASA in the 60s, other than the fact that women didn't, everyone smoked, and I'm guessing not too many of those NASA guys looked like Loren Dean in Apollo 13 (he was yummy there!!).
What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

I forgot another weird thing I discovered while being up all night- The movie Blue Lagoon was based on a book. The Blue Lagoon with Brooke Shields! A public domain book (now).
It is really weird. I read some and the plot is very, very similar.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Oh, yeah. I read the book before I saw the movie. My mom wouldn't let me see the movie as she deemed in too mature for me, but she didn't pay much attention to the books I checked out of the library. I didn't see the movie until years later.

My mom worked at an MIT lab doing work for NASA in the late sixties and early seventies.

For some reason, when I was in middle school/junior high, they would play The Blue Lagoon on regular tv (we did't have cable) at 4:00 in the morning all the time. I was an insomiac back then, and I swear I watched it a million times. As I grew up, I thought I was imagining it, because what station in their right mind would play that horrible movie so many times, but it turns out my friend M and her brother remember the same thing. They would have really been in trouble, as their father would not let the watch 'The Facts of Life' because he thought it was too mature.

The other strange today thing is that their are anti-abortion protesters at our hospital. But they are protesting outside the Eye Institute entrance. It is clearly marked Eye Institute.

Maybe they don't understand how babies get made.

Because books.
Sophia, The Blue Lagoon is one of my total guilty pleasure movies from that age. I adored Brooke Shields and the whole thing was so beautiful and romantic and sexy and tragic! (When I was 13 anyway.)
I knew it was a book, but I've always wanted to see the original movie, which was early 1940s, I think. With a name in the female role, but I can't remember who now. I want to say Jean Simmons, but I think I'm wrong.
