Ganked from Neil Gaiman's blog, but damn it's so evocative: Pictures of an abandoned amusement park.
Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

Ah hell, shrift. No hugs, and -ma is kinda besides the point, I guess. Just be as well as you can.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Crap, shrift. Good thoughts your way.
My mom just sent me a cute picture of the pseudo-grandbabies, because it's the annivesary of their dads' (legal) marriage, and I wrote back, "Thanks for some GOOD news for a change..." So she called to see what was up, was relieved that none of it was directly affecting me, and then told me my cousin lost her job! WTF, world?? W.T.F?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Evocative is the right word, Hec. You can hear the echoes of long-ago laughter and see ghosts of shiny, happy people. And now it's just decayed and dead. So sad.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Wow, shrift, I'm so sorry.

Is it sad to you? A little melacholy for me, but in a good way. I love abandoned places. I love timeworn things. There was a whole huge photo book of abandoned mansions throughout the south that was so fantastic.
I don't feel the loss so much as the time transport sensation. Like I'm the ghost going back in time.

I'm sorry about your cousin, shrift. I hope your dad continues to be ok.

If I only had a brain...
I'm sorry about the evil week, Shrift, and about your cousin.
