ZK, I watched this week's ep, so I'm up to date. Realising that I hadn't actually been anxious to find out the answer (forgot I didn't know...) tells me I'm close to the end of the show. Given that they're seemingly lining up for doctor addicted to narcotics is going to make goodbye easier.

I don't think I went to pre-school or kindergarten or anything specific like that--I went to Montessori! Yay!

They skipped me ahead a year in "real" school as a result and I was bored out of my gourd. But when I moved to England they put me back with my age group which worked fine because on at least 50% of the subjects I was actually two years behind.

My sister told me she had this family wedding exchange:

I say I'm waiting for [cousin]'s wedding, Mummy says "that's too ordinary". I say "huh?". She says "a man, a woman, born that way...".

She's not lying.

One of the women at work was complaining about the low flow flushing where you need to flush twice after, and sometimes once before depending on how kind your predecessor was. I mentioned that the choice for the toilets had been made by people who don't sit down to pee. "Men!" she said. "No," I started..."People who don't..." Yeah, I guess I can leave it at men for the purpose of the conversation, even if there is a slight itch as a result.

Ita !, Montessori is totally "something" school, at least, if not preschool. There's a ton of academics, which, to me, is a major distinguishing factor from daycare. Also, Montessori kids, represent!

Baby snowleopard cam. [link] You're welcome.

I may never watch anything else again.

Also, Montessori kids, represent!

Woot! I, too went right from Montessori into first grade a year earlier than I 'should' have based on age.

Now, off to look at some wee snowleopards...

ita !, yeah, between unwanted pregnancy omg! and addiction doctor omg! I'm over it. It was a fun light Dr. Sherlock in Rich People Land fantasy, but now it's become too much of a soap opera for me.

No one has mentioned that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have reportedly named their child...North West?

I JUST read that. I think I almost expected them to choose something wackier, though.

Please please PLEASE let the middle name be Bynorth.

There's a ton of academics, which, to me, is a major distinguishing factor from daycare.

Montessouri is a specific teaching method, it's not at all a daycare. From my perspective as a parent, the distinguishing factor is that preschool ends at 2:30 and daycare goes until 6. So even though the place Aeryn goes does teach letters and counting and all the standard pre-K stuff, it's a daycare because it goes all day.

I just read that and about horked up my coffee, and my IQ just dropped 20 points. WTFF, people?

Misha Collins named his boy West, which is fine, since I'm real sure his middle name isn't "Latitude" or "Facing" or "By Southwest."
