I started using sleeping masks a few years ago when I began suffering from crippling migraines. Migraines, even more than most headaches make you incredibly sensitive to light and sound. I needed to be able to turn my couch, bed, car, wherever I was into a cave… STAT. After noticing how refreshed I felt when I woke up, I started using them more. It’s not that I can’t sleep without them, just that I wake up a LOT more rested when I do. My house has 10-foot high windows on 2 walls. It’s bright as day during the day, and there are lots of streetlights, so even at night, it’s never really dark.

You Can’t Talk About Something You Know Nothing About
“Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray’s case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the “wet streets cause rain” stories. Paper’s full of them. In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.”
Rant of the Day: Selfishness Vs. Abortion
It pisses me the hell off when people say that getting an abortion is selfish.
Granted, sometimes people should have been more responsible or decide to not keep their baby for convenience-sake, but just because you can get pregnant does NOT necessarily mean you are going to be a good mother or should become one. That’s just as stupid as saying every woman who should become a mother will get pregnant…
Reminded me of this for some reason:
[a woman with her son comes over to Dr. Cox and Jordan and starts talking to their son, Jack]
Woman: Hi, cutie! Since you have so many balls, and too many toys can be overstimulating for an infant, Brantley here was wondering if he could borrow one to play with.
Dr. Cox: Oh, that’s funny, because Jack here was just wondering why the crazy lady who just spent the last hour chain-smoking and talking on her cell phone while her kid ate sand, would come over to two complete strangers and give them parenting advice.
Jordan: Oh, he also thanked me for not naming him Brantley.
Dr. Cox: Yeah.
