I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

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.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

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

Moonlit! Good to see you, and happy 2010!

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.

Snow. Wet messy snow.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Is it possible that there is really not an Aerosoles store in the greater Boston area? Apparently. I'm going to go to DSW and Payless today and see if I can do better on the snow boots search than these (at 25% more off): [link] But that seems like a reasonable back-up plan.
