Yyyyeeeaaaah, I gotta add Country Story (the facebook app) to my little list here. 2 people just un-friended me, and I think it's because I was watering their plants way too often. XD;;;;;
DAMMIT, I need a farming game with MOAR TO DO. (And also fancy stuff like Country Story's magic trees, omfg. Farmville is so boring with its normal plants and un-cute sheep.)

As most things I am really interested in are tied into my model Ho scale tourist town, I am currently obsessed with the motor courts that occupied the Route 66 type of highways in America in the 40's and 50's. These individual cabin type motels were fascinating. I love the way these old motels are configured into long rows of units. They must have been really cozy---your own little house all to yourself while you vacationed. Gee how the modern high rise hotels have lost the charm of the simpler days of travelling.

Right now my main special interest is Special Education.

I am using Structural Arithmetic materials to help to develop my daughter's math skills as she has discalculia.

I have already purchased most of the recommended, (expert authored) texts on discalculia.

This was in part so that I could understand discalculia (math was and remains my gift area) as well as understanding a new 'technical' language

We are also in the process of moving her to a school that is better able to meet her needs as she has additional learning disabilities.

This is completely alien to me as my IQ tests inside the 98th percentile; furthermore I am a COMPLETELY independent learner and I really could have gotten to University by studying at home, alone and then just taking the exams (memory tests).

Finding a woman that looks like Roz or Daphne from Frasier that doesn't want kids, doesn't care about the limitations I have due to Aspergers, and is a one man woman.

Hey, Idaho, you ever seen Repo!?

I think you'll LOVE that film. It's dark, it's gritty but it doesn't have a main character to be precise. You have the Largo brothers though... Luigi or Pavi, take your pick :D


Repo: The Genetic Opera? I've heard of it. I think it would be an interesting movie to watch; I'll definitely check it out. I like darkness and grittiness in my movies, if you couldn't tell already. :twisted:

I googled Luigi and Pavi... Based on appearances, I think I'll like Pavi more. He looks slightly like Edward Scissorhands. :o

recently it's been:
¤ Ouroboros - the tail devourer
¤ reading up on loads of techniques to illustrate on the computer since I'm obsessed with Illustrator/PS and I'm trying to mix things up by trying out different ways to do it for best results that appeal to me.
¤ The Office (US version)
¤ the brain (never dies)
¤ WP (nearly spent 5 hours / day for 3 days now)

Ancient Greek tragedy. It makes me feel better about my own awful tragic life. (At least I didn't marry Mom and poke my eyes out like poor old Oedipus!)

Geass was my thing last week, but as i finished it I didn't like it much towards the end and moved on to some illustration studying. It did awake an interest in digitalized computer art for the time being.
