College... Save Tonight by Eagle Eye Cherry was our jam in the dorms; one of my friends who lived there with me had the DJ play it at my wedding a couple of years ago. Any and all Ben Harper, Dispatch, Wilco. I didn't listen to the radio back then (because I was way too cool for pop music), and I never did the boy…

Exactly everything you said word for word, excepting that I only have (and only gave birth to) one. Excellent advice!

Simon Donovan was his name, and yes, I've said it on another post, Mark Harmon is a sexy motgerfucker.

Yes. A retail clerk told me the other day (I was with my husband and daughter) that "half children are the cutest." First, obviously this is a crazy generalization. While we all know TinyThinker was the cutest infant of all time,* some mixed babies are straight-up oogly. Also:

A family fave at my house growing up (we were perhaps a little age inappropriate with our movie watching). I always knew about the abortion due to my mom's career in women's health. When I was signing up for a day camp in like 4th or 5th grade, they asked your favorite movie, and DD was my answer. My mom laughed and…

Oh my God, I loved studying for the GRE! /not sarcasm

Hey, thanks! If I still lived down there, we could totally have two-person book club. I think we have similar taste.

The New Yorker ran a great profile of him. I find it scary that he's so influential yet so willing to indulge quackery. Yes, "quackery" is the official terminology for pseudo-scientific or non-scientific medicine that can passively or actively harm people.

Have you seen him in Green Street Hooligans? It's a great flick, and he is excellent in it.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I now live in suburban Detroit. Next time I'm in DC, I'll definitely check it out, though.

Now I know (given my familiarity with and admiration of your commenting) at least one of yours looks something like this.

Yes! When I was single in the city (not The City), I only read good books on the Metro for similar reasons. Reading Nora Roberts (I feel you judging me), I was much less likely to meet people in my potential friend/boyfriend demographic than if I was reading David Sedaris.

You make a great point, too. I was an educated 11/12 year old (I don't remember which; it was 7th grade, though) with the ability to believe in the church and what it stood for while still questioning the things I disagreed with. At the risk of sounding like a total asshole, I'm pretty sure what I did was fairly…

Counterpoint: My mom works in women's health (genetics and high-risk pregnancies), and I knew the realities of abortion at a fairly young age. In sixth grade, I gave my church youth group (I was there by my choice, not my parents') a somewhat stunning rebuke of an activity designed to show us why God hates abortion. I…

This is the same scene as our proposal, though Mr. Thinker didn't do the bit with the thread or offer a soliloquy about his past failed relationships. However, it was in our bed, first thing in the morning, non-post-coitus. Perfect for us.

Yep. TinyThinker unexpectedly came with me to my baby shower, too (when she was 5 weeks old). Mimosa, anyone?

I love this comment about Jez lurking and about Burt Reynolds....

I had the same thought... But the archive, where all the opus' (what's the plural of opus?! I feel like a moron, but I'm not looking it up) are stored, is more like a library, right? My reading comprehension sucks, at least retention-wise. I loved that book, though, and I thought the story was so cool. I say it counts.

SapphireDestiny got it right. The town throws a huge surprise going away party for Rory, who's taking a crap-pay, very cool job covering the Obama campaign (in Iowa). She's not staying with Logan; they're done. Lorelai and Luke are together forever, Lorelai and Rory are still best friends, and to all a good night. Amy…

I actually looked for GG merchandise with this on it, but, for some reason, they never made any. I've never bought anything from a TV show, but I would so rock a Copper Boom! T-shirt.
