Deb Grabien, in Angel:
I'm not dissing Molly Bloom; I love her, I love the book, I get drunk reading Joyce and anyway, she has the best unpunctuated orgasm in history.
Love isn't brains, children, it's blood, blood screaming inside you to work its will.

I once worked at a company that insisted on a personality test that divided you up into pie slices - one red, one blue, and one yellow. The pie slices made a complete circle.
One of my crankier co-workers skewed his answers to create Pac-Man.

If I only had a brain...
Anne: I remember hearing a funeral director's spiel about why embalming the "loved one" and putting the remains in a vacuum sealed, climate controlled vault in a memorial wall/mausoleum gave greater comfort to the family than seeing said remains placed into a less expensive casket and lowered into the cold, cold ground. Me, I would be somewhat more horrified by the idea of Granny spending eternity immured in some 1970's crap contemporary architecture. The whole setup was like the Cask of Amontillado with Muzak hymns and plushy carpeting.

Given how anal I am about baggying up meat and labeling it before freezing, I am now picturing a Ziploc baggie with "Grandpa" and the cremation date written on it with a Sharpie marker.

I think that was Empress Aimee, not that Anne is not a total hoot, but I remember cause it was my freeze-dried grandfather under discussion.Thanks, Kat.

manzo:
I take it there never was an answer as to what happen to the "i" in "aluminium" as it crossed the Atlantic?
Griffyn:
That's easy, the same thing that happened to the u in humour. The colonists simply didn't take well to vowel movements.

Calli in Bitches:
It's good to know I'm not getting too into the death and despair headspace. The funeral thought train didn't bother me that much at first -- I'm a big fan of preparation. It's the way it keeps coming back to mind that's got me feeling odd. I should really be using this valuable fantasy time to dwell on a Wes-Calli-Xander sandwich. Oh well. At least my folks know they can talk to me about it. The funeral stuff, not the other.
