"Does Barry Manilow know that you raid his wardrobe?"

Given the "high" quality of education in the state of Delaware, thank God i was homeschooled.

i saw the breakfast club on the big screen last night in amherst. it was awesome, of course. only two people decided to wear 80s garb and they looked like they weren't even around when the movie came out. irene (from switzerland) enjoyed the film but was completely baffled by the idea high school stereotypes. given my American background, i'm familiar with the stereotypes, but i didn't actually attend highschool (see above) so i think i'm exempt. unfortunately, if i had attended highschool, i would have been a "brian" (obviously, a female version), but the social science version, because i got an A in physics, but i'm not sure how. oh, and congrats again to kathryn for her one and "one and only statistical chance at winning something." sorry that you can't ever win the lottery now. a free dvd is cooler anyway.

for my friends who think i'm always defending my home state, here's about the best description i've ever read:
"Wilmington, Del. is an interesting place to live. Not only is it the chemical and banking capital of the world, but our stretch of I-95 allows for some of the most vibrant drug trafficking on the East Coast. It’s safe to assume that a large portion of our solid economy is dependent upon the crackheads and potheads who patronize Denny’s at 2 in the morning for a late-night snack. That’s just further proof that junkies are a necessity in our free-market economy." (DE kid's blog thing)

this, mind you, isn't permission to talk smack on DE. only delawareans can do that. seriously, it's in our constitution (Jefferson told the writers it would be a good idea to add it to article 13, section 9 as a "in case the state begins to suck botton and people from other states begin to point and talk smack" safety net). so there.
