I forgot to watch/record BOTH The Cape Downton Abbey! Argh.
One of those, I think, is worse than the other.
This money, it is too much. You should have some small refund.

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

Jilli! I saw the GCS book in Games of Berkeley yesterday. I was excited.
Yay! Man, I have hopes of earning out my advance and making royalties on it. Someday.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
I always learned that everyone wears black to a funeral as a sign of shared mourning. Those men who didn't have black suits would wear a black tie or armband. Apparently my grandmother got upset with a distant relative who wore dark blue at my grandfather's funeral, like that was not on.
eta: I was only 2 so i don't recall the incident, but mom used to talk about it chidingly, like grandmother had no business being upset about such a silly thing since not everyone has a nice black dress and dark blue is clearly the next most mourning-appropriate choice. I recall thinking "WTF? Who doesn't have a nice black dress?"

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Or, really, completely normal. I see them all the time.
Right?? I thought black suits were the Platonic suit.

I loathe taupe, but it's probably just me.
No, I hate taupe too.
Seriously, P-Cow, black suits are not uncommon on the West Coast.
Also, I have a black tie you could borrow if you want.

No, they're a more recent development rather than Classique.
But they've been in regular rotation for a good fifteen-twenty years now, aside from funeral wear.

Thanks. I'm kind of excited about my Donald Trump tie, though.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I would buy a black suit for P- C ( I've seen a number of younger Indian men in black suit around here - the look is hot ) and for a second suit I would for something that says party . DH has a suit that is a very subtle tiny check in blue -- It is a littl more fun and great for thing like wedding . -- and If y'all think of my Matt -- he is a very conservative dresser. So I'm not talking anything startling , just a little more fun

None at all?
Nope. My parents probably went to a few, but they weren't fans of funerals and certainly wouldn't have taken us. We had memorial services for both of them. I don't think it has come up since I've been an adult. My friend Kelli also had a memorial service.
Downton Abbey on Masterpiece is good times.
Oh good, I've set that to tape.
