  1. Gravity It was ok. I liked Interstellar way better.
  2. I have gone out, a possessed witch, haunting the black air, braver at night; dreaming evil, I have done my hitch over the plain houses, light by light: lonely thing, twelve-fingered, out of mind. A woman like that is not a woman, quite. I have been her kind. I have found the warm caves in the woods, filled them with skillets, carvings, shelves, closets, silks, innumerable goods; fixed the suppers for the worms and the elves: whining, rearranging the disaligned. A woman like that is misunderstood. I have been her kind. I have ridden in your cart, driver, waved my nude arms at villages going by, learning the last bright routes, survivor where your flames still bite my thigh and my ribs crack where your wheels wind. A woman like that is not ashamed to die. I have been her kind. Anne Sexton
  3. Someone read this at my dad's memorial service. I thought it was very fitting.

  8. Peter Gabriel - Apres Moi Be afraid of the lame, they'll inherit your legs Be afraid of the old, they'll inherit your souls Be afraid of the cold, they'll inherit your blood Apres moi le deluge, after me comes the flood [video=youtube;NC6hmg1UUYI] ]
  9. Outstanding performance of this song [video=youtube;03vVcla4lX4] ]
  10. Life of Agony is a band that I listened to when I was in high school. They are a Pantera/Biohazard type with a sprinkling of Type-O-Negative. Most of their lyrics dealt with alienation and rising above The Man. Tough-guy bravado was the latest trend in metal bands back then. I figured Life of Agony was riding the wave. And rightly so, because they were good, and Kieth Caputo sounded appropriately tough. What a surprise it was to find out that Kieth Caputo was transgender, that he identified more as a woman than he did as the tough guy that his voice projected! Kieth Caputo is now Mina Caputo. So, it seems these words were not just empty words when Kieth sang them: If you don't walk with me, I will walk alone Hard enough to believe in myself When I know they don't believe in me Unwilling to change for society I'll be who I want to be [video=youtube;l-tl6AinvSc] ] Good for her. It takes a lot of bravery for someone to come out like that, especially in a genre with so much machismo. Mina Caputo seems like a real decent soul.
  11. Yes, he and his wife study tantric sex, apparently LOL (Well, at least that's what I read)
  12. The coming attractions for this looked hilarious. I heard it was a little disappointing, though.
  13. Me too. Got dragged there by a bunch of moms. I laughed so hard I cried.
  14. In the theater... Bad Moms. Died laughing.
  15. Other Lives - Easy Way Out Oh you control the weather and I'll pay the rent We can be happy, no we can be happy- If we could find an easy way out [video=youtube;UfCB4UVOLrk] ]
  16. A Particularly Vicious Rumor | Brave My navigator, well, she is obliged, And she promised me, she'd stay by my side. She's the only one who sees this ship is going down, And she's the only one who's not afraid to, she's not afraid to drown. [video=youtube;MpDckqlTp0k] ]
  17. That's interesting and it makes sense. My boyfriend has a nephew with aspergers syndrome. I can see the anxiety on him, so I leave him alone. I know that I prefer to be alone when I am feeling anxious. But sometimes I wonder if I'm being rude to him. Now I think that I'm probably doing the right thing. There was an autistic girl at my stable years ago. She was maybe 11 or 12 years old. Her mom used to drop her off there because the presence of the horses soothed her. I didn't realize that she was autistic until she came up to me one day and tried to kiss me. I was totally startled and knocked her back a couple of times. Not hard, because she was a child. Basically a rising block that caused her to take a step back each time. Her sisters showed up and explained that she was autistic and liked to kiss people. I wondered if I should apologize to the girl, but she actually seemed pretty unphased by the whole thing so I left it alone. I've actually met quite a few people on the spectrum. Each is different. One guy I met while collecting information about hurricane damage. He was very friendly, and very direct. He ran several unusual businesses (stamp collecting and high tech educational products among them). He also spoke very loudly. He was actually one of the best interviews that I had because he was so exacting and specific, and there wasn't a lot of emotional digression. Once, during my conversation with him, I made a generalization about something and he called me out on it. I wish I could remember what it was! He was absolutely right though, and I appreciated it because I myself prefer to be exacting and specific.
