You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm still just bitching about having to watch two specific movies to write 1-2 pages. Worst assignment ever. Even if they're good movies.

KAT! Is it the Denise Richards Ellen??

Go gallstones?

The song they are using in the Jarhead trailers sucks me in everytime. Probably the chanting/orchestra thing. Reminds me of Christmas in Sarejevo which kills me everytime I hear it.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I know, right? How weird is that, to be *glad* your dad has gallstones? Beats a (5th) heart attack, though.

Yes! I'm standing next to a freakishly tall man.

OK, I will keep an eye out to see if they replay it on Oxygen.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I'll keep my fingers crossed that his last visits were definitely actually all gallstones, which are much more fixable and less scary than angina. It is oddly nice, though I'm still grumpy at him for scaring you so badly, whatever the cause.

So what exactly does the gallbladder do, that it can be removed if necessary? Just how many not-so-necessary organs do we have floating around inside us, anyhow?

I forgot to add that I took the box the ashes were in, thinking to make some kind of art project/shadow box memorial thing out of it. I'm glad to have it, but uncomfortably so. The plastic baggie that contained the actual ashes is still crumpled up inside, with ash residue in it, and I'm vaguely fretting about it. Clearly, my Goth tendencies are much, much slighter than I'd previously thought.

Poor bitterbelle.

I knew someone here could identify the song.

Two of my grandparents were buried. The other two, science! Death is just weird all around.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

JZ, that was really lovely to read. When was the ceremony?

At the risk of being all me-me-me, your description of the service has got me missing my own grandfather pretty fiercely. But it's pleasant, if also still very sad, to be reminded of his memorial service just a couple of months ago. Thank you.
