Forrest ,'Conversations with Dead People'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
It's kind of hilarious (in an Alzheimer's humor kind of way) when people ask my father how old he is. He almost always starts at fifty-something.
In fun news, the Good Stuff tumblr has (at least) 1,061 followers now! It has been picking up followers like crazy today. I swear it was 980-something last night, and I was going to say something when it hit a thousand.
I have to do math now to remember my age.
But only N+1, right? For a month or so after my birthday I have to consciously remember I'm N+1 now, not N, but that's always been the case for me ever since I was a little girl.
I'm pretty aware of my age.
On Sept 11th, I was exactly 47 and 1/2. So now I am closer to 50 than 45.
My brain likes to sieze on facts like this.
I always use my dad's age to remember my mom's because he was born in 1940, and she 44.
I cannot believe I'm 40. I'm OK with it, but it's like, reallY? Huh. Okay...
Speaking of...HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HIL!!
Sheesh. I know there's been a lot of damage from Sandy, but man.
This was Old Orchard Shoal Lighthouse, just off Staten Island, in 2008.
This is Old Orchard Shoal Lighthouse now.
I'm a little fixated on my age right now because I will be soon be 42 (and yes, I will be announcing loudly and everywhere that I am The Answer, because isn't that in the geek rulebook somewhere?). But other than cool numbers like that, I basically don't think about it either to remember it or not.

Oh my god.

Yes. Yes it is, and we will be checking up on you. We will also expect you to have an awesome Year of the Answer, because that is the rules.
