I'm watching Extreme Makeover:Home Edition. They were able to get a National Guardsman home from Iraq for a few days to go to Disney World with his family while the show rebuilds their house. I mean, that's awesome for that family, but a TV show can have that kind of influence?
Niska: Mr. Reynolds? You died, Mr. Reynolds. Mal: Seemed like the thing to do.

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
Don't people get a certain amount of leave or just plain old time not on duty? Having that happen in a certain time frame is probably worth it good publicity wise for the National Guard.
I'd think the part a TV show can do is get someone so expediently transported home and back that a couple of days is actually worth it.
These are just guesses.

The family has a 12-year-old daughter. She grinned and jumped up and down when her father walked into the room, but then looked like she was seriously about to faint when the Jonas Brothers walked in.

Plei, gotta thank you for the topcoat recc last week. Not only does it not craze, it actually filled in some of the crazing on the one nail that got all fucked up. I may actually last the usual 3-4 weeks with this set. We'll see how it wears, but so far, excellent.

I am sitting in the burger bar. I suspect I will be having a burger.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Chicken piccata. I have all of the ingredients already. Just not the motivation.

I've discovered the way for me to watch this show is to skip a bunch of the middle.
And this dad is just so sweet. When he started to cry over the picture? I'm all a-melty.
Alright, now to see the redic bedrooms.

I vote thai. We were talking about how awesome The Thai Restaurant was, and if I weren't abstaining from takeout...mmm. BUT! I found out there is an asian grocery where you can get everything for thai food in walking distance. So maybe I can learn how to make tom yum soup.
