At least GF has someone she knows and who knew her mom well to be with.
Zoe: Is there any way I'm gonna get out of this with honor and dignity? Wash: You're pretty much down to ritual suicide, lambie-toes.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Teppy, that's hard. Tons of ~ma all around. I've also had some loved ones of loved ones die recently, and it is hard to see the people you care about in pain even if you don't know the person that died very well or at all.

Wow, Teppy, that poor girl, and your poor nephew. Man.
flea, I"ve definitely shed a few tears this morning looking at some of the tweets/pics/etc

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Also, Jesse, did you happen to know a guy named Kossouth in college, by any chance? We're the same year, right, college '94? He remains possibly the best looking person I have ever known in real life.
Sadly, no -- and I'm '95, hence the 20th reunion last weekend! I always thought the best looking guy at college when I was there was Rick Yune, not that I knew him, but he caught my eye on campus. When I started seeing him acting in stuff, I thought, "Man, he looks just like that hot guy from Penn -- must be a type." But no, same guy.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
meara, having just gone through the stress of watching a cat not eat, I'd recommend canned tuna, as that is tempting to even pretty unhappy kitties, and some of that high calorie supplement just to make sure the kitten is getting enough calories. It's called NutriCal (although there are probably other brands) and you basically get a fingerful across the roof of his mouth and he'll eat it. Poor little kitty!
And yay Jesse for middle aged lady cat! I'm so glad she found you.
Steph, even being in the position of support is hard, or it can be.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
Ooh, I would be super into that (bonus: If you come soon, tiny black kitten!!)
Let me check with Plei, and see what schedules look like. It would prolly be beginning of June? (DISNEYLAND NEXT WEEK.)
New kitty for Jesse! Yaay!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Yay kitty!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Oh, Steph, that's just heartbreaking. Much ~ma to you and all your bereaved friends and family.
Yay for Jesse and her new cat, and a big rainbow YAY for Ireland!
Eat, tiny kitten of meara! Food good! Trader Joe's carries Tuna for Cats that's extra stinky and cats tend IME to love it. He might go for something super-smelly. Maybe his little nose is congested and he can't smell very well. My Percy has that problem sometimes.
Allow me to share a little gem I came across last night: "Motivation comes from the gut, not the brain." I'm going to go see if my gut can motivate me to clean out my bedroom closet. Because my brain has been failing at motivation lately.

Just woke from an unplanned 90 min nap. Very deep sleep, I'm still a little sleep confused. Messed up the plans for the day, but ehn.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Welp, I thought today would be a good opportunity to curl up in the hammock and read, which meant pulling the hammock stand and hammock out of the shed where I had (for once) put them for the winter. As I set them up I noticed that the rope was looking a little frayed and vaguely wondered how much longer it would last. As soon as I got myself settled, of course, the rope broke. Ouch.
