Also see Louis Theroux's Nazi documentaries! They are fascinating and wonderful and on youtube!

*whispers* I think I AM vodka mom. (But only bloody mary's and martinis and my child is alive, I swear)

oh god I love artichokes, maybe I need to ask for an emulsifier for Christmas.

I am adopted and this always terrified me....that I would unknowingly marry a close family member. *shuddder*

Has anyone ever made their own? I hear it's amazing, but I am just lazy.

For me, it is Famous blue raincoat.....gets me every time....
