That sounds really sweet, especially your bro kicking in.

Ha, I just mentioned elsewhere that my husband loves spreadsheets and I suspect he has it all figured out somewhere.

No, I totally did pay for it! That's why this brain lapse was kind of freaking me out and making me feel guilty, I'm actually quite responsible about money and whatever the cost it was definitely within our means, that much I'm sure of. I wonder if my husband has it committed to memory or in some kind of spreadsheet…

Hee! I aim to please, you're welcome.

Yes. Thank you. There is probably a larger than average sample of autism in my immediate family, but fortunately two of those four are highly functioning.

Yeah, I scrolled through afterwards and noted the recent wedding dates on most (and some of the sad-or-funny stories of parents keeping tabs and not letting their kids forget the bill) so that makes me feel a bit more normal, heh.

I'm having a blast reading these except for one small element of creeping paranoia...

Can you imagine how pissed other couples must have been if they had the bad fortune of picking a foggy/shit weather day?? You lucked out with beautiful weather, such a clear day...

Hm, I actually really liked those jeans on you, I thought you rocked them.

Ha, no worries!

Yep, definitely Baldwin and Haze. Thanks.

No, you're totally right! That's who I was thinking of.

Oops, looked it up and I did have it wrong. It wasn't "Rob Stewart's kid and Azaelia Banks", it's Alec Baldwin's kid and Angel Haze. So maybe Banks isn't a conflicted homophobic lesbian, and just straight up homophobic...

Wait... I thought she was gay, and dating a white girl (daughter of... someone famous)?

I don't ski, so didn't realize that the photog guy was a thing (I've only encountered the "lingering photog who hands you card to website" thing at clubs) and I'm very public-attention averse... but even I think your approach actually sounds really, really adorable.

(Well, unless they're unattractive, in homespun sackcloth and/or avoiding cameras or contractual publicity, apparently.)

The fact that this story (Penn/Madge) is and was so well known and newsworthy at the time makes me have...thoughts, about Robin Wright and Charlize and anyone else who dated Penn afterwards.

Oh shit, thanks for this, truly. I inhale all forms of geeky media EXCEPT comics for some reason (total blindspot) so I'd never heard of this. Obliged!

Hm. I thought the point was that he (Blomkamp) plans on disregarding everything after Aliens?

I'm having a hard time not getting preemptively excited by this prospect, and I hope that doesn't screw me over with impossible to meet expectations.
