It's just. It's really.... WTF?

Because books.

That outfit was certainly something else, Kat, that's for sure.

Also? You do more in a day than I do in a week, most of the time! I would have cashed in after breakfast and the aquarium, I bet.

It always sounds like a lot, Amy, but it isn't really. This morning was generally pretty mellow. The Aquarium is all about the kids running around and the sea lions were in amazingly fine form. Lots of playing both in the the underwater tanks and above ground. The tank at this aquarium is cool (for the seals and sea lions because you have an outdoor viewing area that has a sliver of underwater view. But you also can walk through a tunnel that slices through the tank and the seals/sea lions can swim around you, above you, and below you.

I sent off the email to Lip Service clothing suggesting that they give me items from an upcoming line of theirs, because everyone who has seen the photos has assumed that I collaborated with them on it, or that they designed it as a tribute to me. I wonder what their answer will be ...

Maybe you should follow up with a copy of the book?

Oh, I blogged for their webzine over the summer, so they're very aware of who I am. (And wow, does that feel weird to say/type!)

I looked at the J.Lo photo, and all I can think is that she forgot to put the rest of her outfit on? And no one wanted to upset her by reminding her?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

And no one wanted to upset her by reminding her?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

And she was freezing, too! It just looked inappropriate, and too derivative of Cher.

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

Whoah. Viewing. Intense. I, like, don't want to be viewed. And now I know my my mother doesn't want to be viewed either.

It's strange being back in New Orleans. I feel weird, but we will be taking some advantage of the locale tonight by finding food downtown. I need to decompress after the viewing. Watching D's mother deal, watching her sister, watching her son refuse to deal...

Viewings tend to the barbaric, for me. But I have open-casket funeral issues anyway. Too damned many as a kid.

Oof, ita. We had viewings for a couple of my grandparents. Wasn't too traumatic, but also reinforced not my thing. Watching reactions at funerals is always the part that kills me. I can stay all about my reaction until the minute I look at someone, then I start taking them on and it's always rough.

Hope you find good food and have good conversations.
