Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I got up at 3:30am to drive the DH to the Flyaway bus this morning. Managed to get an extra hour of sleep when I got home, but still feel like a zombie.

Me want to see the crystal skull. Are you going to post it in LJ? I love seeing all of your projects and enjoying your progress.

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

Would the phrase "you'll soon change your tune" make sense in French? If not, is there another colloquial phrase with a similar meaning?

I think "changer de refrain" exists, but one would be more likely to say "changer de discours", literally "to change one's speech". So "Tu vas bientôt changer de discours" would be the closest to your phrase above.

Now tagless for your comfort.

If a human body has been in the coffin, the family got charged for it. So the funeral home can't resell it to the public for funerary purposes, but can sell it to the furniture manufacturer. Aren't they getting paid for a piece of equipment twice?

Regardless of cool they look, I'd want to know the provenance behind the piece and whether some grieving family got billed for the coffin before I bought it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I don't think the coffins are actually used - just "demo" models that are slightly imperfect or something. The quote is confusing - I think the stuff about "biohazard" is kinda' a joke. Unless the coffins are actually used?

Cool. I was hoping she'd see it here, but that's better.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Vanity post: so this weekend, I was in the Castro, and decided to do this.

When I first saw the thing about coffin couches, I thought "Cool!" but the picture kinda makes me... uncomfortable? I dunno.

I have started up on fitday again. Have we discussed here that there is an entry for "milk, human"? - ummmmmm

so far I am fat and carb heavy. I am hoping to get a handle on what I eat for a week or two in order to make some adjustments (slightly high cholesterol at last Dr. appt, and in a swimsuit last Fri = time to pay attention more).
