have you seen this book: Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers? Fascinating, and sometimes funny....
Cannibalism! Excellent!
This is what we want to see. So cool.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Maybe one of the cadavers will be a virgin.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
This is what we want to see. So cool.
Ooh, I'd totally go see that....
The plastination technique replaces bodily fluids and fat with reactive polymers, such as silicone rubber, epoxy resins, or polyester. In a first phase, solvent gradually replaces bodily fluids in a cold solvent bath (freeze substitution). After dehydration, the specimen is put in a solvent bath at room temperature to dissolve and remove the fat. The dehydrated and defatted specimen is then placed into a polymer solution. The solvent is then brought to a boil in a vacuum and continuously extracted from the specimen. The evaporating solvent creates a volume deficit within the specimen, drawing the polymer gradually into the tissue. After the process of forced impregnation, the specimen is cured with gas, light, or heat, depending on the type of polymer used.
Of course, my first reaction to reading this was to wonder: If you did this to a live person, would you end up with a new superhero, Or a supervillian?

Since it sounds like it might be a tad painful, I'd say supervillain.

Maybe that's why it's raining. LA itself is sobbing that I left it.
So, as usual, LA has far too much control of the water supply in northern CA. Got it.

Take your fingers off it, don't you dare touch it, you know it don't belong to you, to you...
Wow...sounds like a lot of fun. I'd make a point of brooding all Hamlet-like; is this all man is?

My dad is cleaning his computer room. Mostly, he's getting rid of ancient computer stuff. He has some old Daisy wheels, for ancient printers or typewriters and I'm sure more to come. Is it even worth offering this type of stuff here?

I've not fully finished packing, but I've got all my clothes decided on, which is the hardest part of the process for me. AND put the clothes inside the new suitcase. Tomorrow morning I can gather up the toiletries, et cetera.
Mmmmm.. San Diego! Tucson! Even if it's rainy season over there, I can deal!

Rainy season would be better than what we've got now, for sure. Have a good trip!

Santiago - Twenty-eight Chilean women took all their clothes off in the middle of a busy road in Santiago to pay homage to a poet.
The women posed in front of the house where famous poet Pablo Neruda used to live.
Photographer Rene Alejandro Rojas took the picture, called Munvich, which means "naked" in an ancient Nordic language.
Rojas told Las Ultimas Noticias newspaper: "We did not have a permit so they had to take their clothes off very fast and then put them back as fast." - Ananova.com
