I'm in the process of switching from a phone carved from a rock to 3G. There's no way I can switch my contacts from one to the other, all have to be entered. I still have StE's, as I have his email. If it's accepted, it'll be entered in my new contacts list.

Kat, I'm really glad ita's info is still there.

On twitter, some feminists and I were talking about Samira's next job and I said "She reminds me a lot of a friend who passed." and they said "Wow, your friend must have been amazing."

Seeing the news of miss Cleo's passing yesterday reminded me that I first crossed paths with ita snarking about those psychic hotline commercials on Table Talk before I found the Buffistas.

I can imagine!

I had a dream with ita in it. The bulk of the dream was confusing and weird but the part with ita in it was sad and disturbing. Not a good thing.

One of the tough parts of losing someone is when they show up in dreams.

I'm sorry to hear of sad visitations. Usually I find visits by lost ones in my dreams to be comforting.

Watching the Jamaican team enter last night and hearing them talk about Usain Bolt was a gut punch. I want her opinions, damn it.

Suzi, I had the same reaction. Also the "race" between Bolt and Prince Harry on YouTube, which is amazing.

I realized about a week ago that the coconut purse she sent me from Jamaica -- that's been hanging over my visor since she died -- is missing from my car. I sometimes keep the windows open when it's super hot, depending where I'm parked, and I can't imagine where it else it would be -- it's just gone. (Although it also seems strange that someone would have taken that and nothing else, although there's never a lot worth stealing in my car.)

At any rate, the car felt awful without it, so I hung Dean's amulet (the Samulet) from the visor yesterday (I bought it with her mind shortly after she died) and the car feels better now.
