I really, really miss June Thomas on Slate Culture Gabfest. Does anyone know if she talks anywhere else?
She's on Twitter: [link]
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Speaking of the big-T, my sister is all asquee because Prince has joined: [link] I'm just odded out by the idea of him a) typing b) typing "selfie'. But she's happy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I have a really hard time believing that is actually Prince. [link]

Really pretty, Tep! Although as soon as I saw it I realized I was subconsciously expecting something blue.
Since my dress is too long and needs to be shortened [note to self: CALL THE TAILOR, YOU SLACKER], I thought about using the cut-off fabric to wrap the stems. I mentioned this to Tim, and he said "Aren't our colors blue and silver?* You should wrap the stems in silver ribbon." Which is going to look awesome.
*(I forgot to tell him no, our colors are blush and bashful.)
My sister had a talisiamen for Dad in her bouquet, I think a small photo.
I've seen that on the various (okay, only 2) wedding websites I read. And I would do that for Tim's mom, except the critters are SO much more *her.* Everyone will get it right away.
I need to figure out how to make a charm of the Buffy-font B so I can attach it to my bouquet, because you damn bet I want my Buffistas there with me in spirit. I guess maybe print out a big Buffy-font B, trace it on fabric, and then run a loop of thread through it and tie the thread to the stems?

So did I, but I have no idea what they did to convince Twitter. Aren't they usually false negative more than false positive?
Also, I have a persona in my head which is based on very little. Hell, him growing a 'fro poked holes in it. So I really don't know. It's not like I read tweets anyway.
eta:

Ha! I read "blush and batshit" which I now want for my putative nuptials. Volunteers? Bueller?

Aw, that's sweet, Steph!

True true true.

Oh, that would be so neat!

Because books.
Oooh, silver ribbon, yes.
I have always wanted to say my colors were blush and bashful. Sigh.

Know anyone who could embroider it on the fabric you use to wrap the bouquet? Or is that being too crazy?

That is TOTALLY more appropriate for us!

Hmmm. I was going to use ribbon to wrap the bouquet -- not, like, a satiny ribbon, but more like the kind of ribbon that's reinforced with wire. I don't know how well that could be embroidered on. And then I don't know that I even know anyone who could do it. Must ponder.
