I am hoping like heck someone here will find this as amazingly funny as I did: Royals by Lorde tweeted in the style of Chaucer. (Scroll back to last night [link]
The one that totally slew me was: Yet everye songe ys lyk gold spurres, Frensshe wyne, singinge yn the privy, liverye, fyne gownes, shockinge scenes from Livye.
I would definitely like to read that, Jesse. (I just wish smaller publishers knew how to do better covers.)
In possibly-related news, I just got cc'ed on an email that boils down to if our CEO should wear a suit to a certain meeting or not.
Suzi, that's really, really great.
I have more, since I've been caught up all during my vacation (thank you all for unknowingly keeping me company while I was away), but now I am back at work with a souvenir cold and fighting fuzz brain.
I'm on hold with unemployment. Patience ~ma if you can spare it.
Much patience-ma. Remember, you'll get money out of it if you wait.
I'm continuing with Project Paper Sort, and have run across several sympathy cards from last year that got filed unopened what with all the back and forth I was doing at the time. I'm going to hang them up on a bulletin board to remind myself that people cared.
I tried to trace back all this apocalyptic talk, and I swear it almost all comes from one journalist with no particular qualifications. Here's a bottom line: The absolute worst conceivable scenarios at Fukushima cannot be worse than Chernobyl, and we're all still here. Also, NUCLEAR FUEL CANNOT EXPLODE. *head desk head desk head desk*
But Ginger, this nuclear incident is in Japan. OMGWTFBBQ! GODZILLA IS GOING TO WAKE UP AND EAT US ALLLLLL!!!1!
I for one welcome our giant radiation-mutated overlords.
Morning peoples.
So my sister is very frail and losing strength. I would say she is now dying in earnest, but because she is young, she is dying slowly. I do not know how long she has left. But she has come to some sort of peace with it, although she does not want to die just yet. I am glad that I took this week off from work to be here.
I'm going to try to set up a CNA to come be with her during the days, just so that she has attentive care when she needs it.
I'm so sorry, Burrell. But I'm glad you can be with her.
