totally and utterly out of the blue here, but did you ever read/hear of this good weekend article about christopher pine in which his wife said, and i quote, "sometimes its too tricky to go out as a family, so we just leave christopher at home" and i just picture him doing that freaky-ass bouncing thing alone, on his couch, in pitch darkness, and well that's what was first thing on my mind this morning.
