Montana Supremes go up against the US Supremes ruling regarding corporate spending on elections.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Random fact of the day: I am wearing almost knee high boots and sushi socks, which I think Teppy gave me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
IO9 had an article on faceblindness and someone linked to this test. I feel incredibly privileged right now, and also like I spend too much time looking at pictures of people, because I consider myself only average with facial recognition (and I have a deepseated continual panic that I will lose the ability to recognise my mother's face. I have no idea what that's about), and I could get 100%. Average is 85%. And some people just plain can't do that.
The brain is terrifying. Freaky deaky.
I've also been thinking about coincidences. I have bumped into more people from my two years of Jamaican high school than I have who went to McGill. The odds are kerfucked for that. I just never find McGill grads, but for no good reason (three of the times were off the island) I've bumped into girls I went to high school with. What *is* that? Why are we all over the place.
I've only bumped into two McGill grads since I left Montreal. Two face to face encounters, anyway. More online, but my high school meetups weren't online.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I got 100% too, although I feel like being able to remember his movies and not recall his damn name should have counted against me for Robert Fucking DeNiro.

Because books.
I missed three, but one because I entered the wrong name without thinking. One I blanked on, and one I remembered his characters' names, but not his.

Didn't need to say it twice.

I think you can remember the character's names, according to the instructions. Weirdly, I had that problem with Robert DeNiro as well.
The only one I found a little difficult was Jennifer Aniston- without hair she looked a little like christina applegate.

Punishingly Intricate
Patrick Stewart I couldn't place because he didn't look right with a partial head...oddly enough!

I had to stare at a few of them before the name came to me. I blanked on Cruise, Hanks, and Tony Blair. A face completely out of context is hard to recognize - hair being context, apparently. I guess that's why some people don't recognize someone who's changed their hairstyle. I once walked right past my then-boyfriend without recognizing him because he'd shaved off his beard. Granted, he did look strange.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I got a couple of those embarrassingly wrong, and I totally identified Ben Stiller as "Anne Meara's son"
