Earlier this morning a man came into the ER bringing his mother in and needed help getting her out of the car.  He was a little rude and snippity to me but I didn't think anything of it; obviously he was upset.  After his mother had been taken care of he apologized to me for the way he had acted earlier.  I did not expect this and it touched my heart.

What other names did your parents consider for you?

Eleanor!

What story from your wild-and-crazy youth would nobody believe about you today?

I smuggled drugs over the canadian border.

What's a saying or phrase that's never made sense to you?

Oh my gosh, i was just thinking of this today!  "The best offense is a good defence."  ??  I used to think i knew what this meant, but then i was rethinking it today and realized i think i was wrong.  And if i was right, i don't remember what i even thought it was.

What do you think your pets would act like if they were people? Do you think you'd get along with them? 

I'm not a good pet person.  I don't know why I'm answering this.  I think my cat would be like Steve Urkle or something. really annoying and clingy.  except he'd be better looking.  actually now that i think of it, it's probably the way Lois Lane would think of Clark Kent.  kind of strange and always underfoot, due to his undying affection. 

so actually my cat is probably more like Superman, only i don't know it.  but now i do know it ... so i'll be keeping my eyes peeled for his bullet proof spandex.

I'm looking for two movies to borrow if anyone has them:  Weird Science, and Spies Like Us.

Now, here's my movie review:

I watched the greatly heralded "Orange County".   Well, (maybe I need to watch it again, but...) I thought it was really boring.  I didn't even watch the end because I fell asleep. on purpose. 

Second, Lady in the Water. (I think that's what it's called, may be of the water.?)  I actually liked this movie a lot.  1) great cast   2) it was very colorful in a strange way that i liked. I liked how the apartments were decorated, especially that old asian womans.  3) Mr. Heap was awesome.

It was cool how everyone came together to help the maiden narf.  To find out what their role in the story was adventurous and of great consequence.

Stay tuned, there is more to come. I will be reviewing two more movies this week. 

Happy Earth Day!  What are some of your favorite ways to reduce, reuse and recycle?

I like recycling cardboard and paperboard.

Is it likely that the U.S. will have a female president in the near future? In your lifetime? Why?

  I think it is very likely that we will see a female U.S. president in my lifetime.  I think it's inevitable.  It's "progressive".  It's what we do.
