Happy Birthday, victor!
The roadside shrines seem macabre to me, but I'm willing to accept that they comfort some people. It's like open-casket funerals -- I hate them, but they're a cultural norm.
Question: Will hiding in a cavern with stockpiled chocolate goods be any part of this plan?

Trust my rage
I'm watching Real Genius.
I watched part of that this afternoon. I loved that movie so much as a kid.

I have a plan.
Happy Birthday Victor!
This sort of struck me in this mornings news. Didn't even thank them for the cookies. Cookie Girls
I Loved Real Genius too. But as far as Val Kilmer comdies goes, for me it's Top Secret.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I have to finish the homework associated with my England class.
I really don't wanna. Can't I just go to England for two weeks and not learn anything?

Happy Birthday, Victor!
Last time I visited my sister, there was a memorial near one of the schools where a child (younger than school age) was hit by a car. She said that the accident had really freaked out the kids at the school, and the memorial seemed to help them.

OK, halfway through the show, this week's TAL is a Buffista smorgasbord: Romance Writers, and transmen. What's next? slashfic?
I thought similarly. And kept driving around neighborhoods near the store I was going to so I could hear the end.
I see a lot of teddybear&flower shrines in certain neighborhoods around here. I'd bet a fair number are not accident, but murders. So. They are about grief &catharsis, and I know in at least one case (the firebombing of the Dawson family) they are also about Something is fucking wrong here and we're here to stand against it . Last I heard, they were talking of turning it into a park, but that won't happen for a while. I think in the wars between communities and the dealers, these shrines turn into more than just grief. They turn into defiance.
In depressing news, my brother just got word that one of his friends from his old unit was killed in Iraq, leaving a wife and 2 year old. He pretty much won't talk about it right now. Damnit. I hope he can make the service.

Happy Birthday Victor!
Does anyone have any suggestions for what a mouse might be tempted to eat if peanut butter doesn't do the trick? So far the only thing I know it's gone for is soggy paper sacks at the bottom of a grbage bag.
