I advised my doctors that my memory only works for things that interest me...
...and I don't get to choose what interests me. |

"Normal" people like really stupid stuff.

Last night we watched:
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter [2012]
<=>"Are you a patriot or a vampire?"
Neither of us thinks it is a "great" movie but we both enjoyed it. We both think it is a "good" movie. |

Besides being an Aspie I'm also clearly INTJ (and the "I" is very clear) and blissfully retired.
I can easily stay home for the "business" week and only go out on Saturday and Sunday to buy a newspaper. |
