Random note: I had a lot of weird dreams last night, and by now I've forgotten most of them, but I remember one in which Polter Cow and I were MARRIED for some reason (!!). He'd just returned from being gone for several months, and I think we were married for some logical convenience type reason, rather than like, love. And we went to the house that he had been renting but no one had been in while he was gone (but he and I were married the whole time?) and we were going to move in, but the house was a mess because no one had been there, and a cat had had kittens in there. I was apalled that he didn't know there was a cat having kittens in his house (even though he'd been...overseas somewhere?).

What kind of crack is my brain smoking??

On the other hand I plan to die last so there'll be no one to program the music anyway.

So, what you need to do is make up your funeral playlist and program an ipod or computer to play it everyday unless you tell it not to. Deadman's switch music.

I have never been to a funeral that had music. Most of the memorials didn't have music, or not music that was particular to the dearly departed, anyway. Or there was lots and lots of music without one focus.

I don't remember there being music at any of the three funerals I've attended. I know the last one was not anything the deceased would have wanted. Lapsed Catholics: if you don't want your estranged relatives to give you a Catholic funeral make sure to get yourself excommunicated before you die!

That works fine for me.

Awesome! Do you have a time preference? I presume Sean and/or Laga know how to get to your place from the Museum of Jurassic Technology; we could come over after that.

We were in Spaced !

"If I Should Fall From Grace With God"

With "Worms" at the graveside service?

Weird tipping question -- what do you do when two people split a service. I had my nails done today. One person did the skilled stuff (the fill and the shaping and whatnot) and one person just painted them. How do you tip on that?

Do you usually tip to the person? I just tip on the bill and then run.

Want to guarantee I'll haunt you? Make a montage of my life using "Hallelujah."

What if we use a version actually performed by Leonard Cohen? No played out John Cale or even (dare I say it) overplayed Jeff Buckley.

I'd give half of what I would normally give to one person to each.

No real time preference for me, and I might come along for the MJT as well.

Okay, it's time for me to think about some really needed sleep. I only got about 3 hours last night.
