What's the weirdest baby name you've ever heard (or considered)?
i know this sounds made up, but psycho jen's mom was a nurse for a while and had a paitent name her daughter "placenta jane".
Where do you go to get away from it all?
Submitted by Hops.
this one is easy. i hop on a plane and head down to AZ. my uncle and his family are down there and we are practically the same age. my parents own a house which sits empty for most of the year. so it's sparse and easy to maintain. there are only things you need. 4 plates, 4 bowls, etc. when stuff gets dirty, you wash it. i sweep the patio every morning. it's simplier there. however, it's a production getting down there with the boo and the plane tickets and renting a car and whatnot.
it's totally worth it though.
we are heading down for thanksgiving.

What are some of your favorite, forgotten albums that have stood the test of time?
Submitted by PeterGibbons.
one album that i can always listen to is Amorica by The Black Crowes
from beginning to end this album wraps you up in a greasy blanket and strokes your hair with smoke. chris robinson's vocals are earthy and desperate, and i feel this was the zenith of the band. this is what they are all about. this was the message they wanted you to hear.
shine on cursed diamond, shine on!
What's your favorite foreign accent?
british, by far. i had the pleausre, upon paying a visit to green at "le bar", to sit next to a british gentleman for a while. i was purposely asking him loaded questions just to hear him talk.
What do you collect?
this is lame, but for the longest time i collected the fortunes from fortune cookies. i had probably close to eighty of them. i still have most of them - somewhere. and i kept one and put it in boo's baby book. three days before she was born, i got a fortune that said "all of your dreams are about to come true." and for once it was right.
also, i have all of these little slips of paper and when you read like twenty fortunes in row and add "in bed" at the end of it, it gets pretty funny.
What's your motto?
i don't really have a motto - more of a mantra. when i frist had boo, we would both be up at all hours crying and wanting something. and i kept telling myself - this is temporary, this will pass. and it did. usually within 48 hours.
now, when boo can't sleep or is really wound up, we sit and rock and i chant softly "om mani padme hum" and it calms us both down and she usually falls asleep.
and when i am wound up and can't sleep i chant to myself and i always feel better.
but if i had to say there are words i live by - it would be this. be sure to ask for what you want, it's the only way you're going to get it.
