You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

An arguement has broken out in my office on whether MJ's music sucks. Someone has said heatedly, "You don't get the title King of Pop for suck."

Amen.

Where's my Thriller mp3 file?

edit: and they're wondering about the rights to the Beatles' songs.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

There's a charity-related ad that just came on with Jackson 5's "I'll be there" as the soundtrack. That Michael Jackson has been gone for a long time, but it's underscored now.

Loki just climbed into a pillow (actually 2 pillows in one case, he's between the pillows) and is asleep. Weirdo. It's too warm to be pillow filling!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

That Michael Jackson has been gone for a long time, but it's underscored now.

This is sadly true -- and I'm feeling halfway between shocked/sad and jokey/irreverant, I think because in my mind MJ is already long since gone.

Okay, back to real world problems.

To wit: what should I do with the garlic scapes I bought at the farmers market today? I mean, other than wear them around my wrists like weird alien bracelets.
