[shown: not my score, bitchez.]

Spend some time testing your sense of color at the Munsell Hue Test. I scored an 11 (lower scores are better). I don't know if that's average, or what. I tried to get a better score, but it got worse every time I did it. What did you get?

UPDATE: Thanks to the commenters, I had to go back and spend 10 minutes trying to get a better score. I got to a 4 immediately when I started using my laptop (instead of the desktop at work), and then I finally got them all right. A 4 means that you're only off by one square, Sara.

    I scored 117.
    Is this why you don't let me dress the kids if they are going to be seen in public... or private?

    I scored a 4. No clue if that means we are almost the same or not -- 4 and 11 seem pretty close on a 1 to 1520 range of possibilities for our age.

    When I did the Johnson O'Connor aptitude testing, they had a test that was almost identical, fwiw. I scored better than I expected on that one. I could dig up my percentiles if you're really interested.

    Thanks for digging this up!

    I got a perfect score on this one, but after having to paint these charts mixing the colors by hand, drop by drop in color theory class, I damn well better get a perfect score. And that miserable hag of a professor gave me a B. I'm not bitter. Really.

    We're restraining ourselves.. the Spousal Unit continues to crow about his score: an 8. (That's really why we're delaying, we won't even be close.)

    Have a splendid rest of the week!

    Link won't work for me and now I am really sad, cause I think I could totally kick ass on that quiz. I actually ENJOYED doing the Munsen color charts in color theory >_>

Reading/ Watching/ Listening

 Reading: The Rules of Civility by Amor Towles. I didn't like it nearly as much as A Gentleman in Moscow . In fact, I liked it only barely enough to keep reading. Watching: Poker Face , on Peacock. Papi and I have enjoyed watching this, one episode at a time, and not every day. It's a little formulaic, but the sets and the guest stars are fun. I like that it changes scenery every episode. Listening to: The Beatles Channel, Sirius XM. Ever since watching Get Back , the Beatles documentary, I've enjoyed listening to them with new ears.

All About the Boy

I’m never sure how much personal stuff to write on this blog, but every now and then I feel compelled to share. And so right now, even though I’d rather be writing gift guides and assorted other nonsense, I’m just going to rant. Emmet has Asperger’s Syndrome. Look it up. It’s a disorder related to Autism, but sufferers are said to be “high functioning.” Just looking at him, you’d never know that anything was wrong. But if you spend some time with him, you’ll see that he has trouble with social functioning. Asperger’s sufferers (they call themselves “Aspies”) aren’t good at self-reflection, and they aren’t good at picking up on social cues. They're also (in most cases) uncoordinated, and they tend to have a variety of tics (physical and behavioral). On top of this, Emmet has an anxiety disorder. Emmet’s life is tough. He is in trouble constantly at school because of the little tics that he’s developed, and because of his anxiety, and because he is afraid of going to the bath
