She's a no, right?
We're right on the same page. As long as she keeps making crap movies and lying to the press about being schizophrenic and just generally skanking around...ewww.
Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

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

Wait, that's not right...
If it's wrong, I don't want to be right!
The story of Karl Rove's father is awesome.
I think I want to have some kind of service for DH, even though he has no desire for a funeral. I think they're good for closure, regardless whether there is a corpse in attendance or not. I've always had great times at funerals, as weird as that is--but they've mostly been for elderly relatives and the chance to get together with cousins that I like but never see is sort of fun.
I braved the grocery store in spite of crappy roads. Turns out it was the best time to go--the store is nearly empty after 10:30! I came home to find DH watching Away We Go for the 11th time.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Memorial services are best. Especially when there's a wake-like air about them. Closure is good, and I can't think of anything better than getting together with other people who knew and thought well of the deceased and telling stories--good and bad--about them. I hate funerals, really. Chances are the person officiating didn't know diddly about the departed, and is just making up platitudes. It seems more dis than respectful.
But maybe that's just me.

Not just you, Bev. My friend Angie sat with the minister the night before her grandmother's funeral and he still botched her service. I've seen some fairly uncomfortable eulogies given by officiants. Honestly, I prefer to hear family members and friends get up and say a few words.

I mentioned the funeral home before. It was really unexpected, and special, to know that even those people felt somethihng of her loss. I wouldn't expect that in a funeral home, but for the minister/officiator/whoever - if they didn't know the person, then I just can't even see the point of their involvement.

I wonder if I can use my rice steamer for bao. Or if I should pick up a bamboo steamer in the morning.

Well with only 80 minutes of 2009 to go, from where I'm sitting, (and it can't fuck off quickly enough for me) I thought I better say a quick hello to you all before another year has passed completely

Heh. I got back to sleep for 90 minutes around 6. Also, less than an inch of accumulation, my ass. I'd take today totally off but I had to put in my hours already. I'll just leave early.
