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.
Aww, man, just got totally sideswiped by a Usain interview bit.
Yeah, I spent most of yesterday with friends, one of whom is married to an awesome Jamaican-American. We were out to dinner and she streamed Bolt's qualifying runs on her iPhone for everyone. I wanted so much to explain ita and our loss to her but it felt like too much over a casual dinner.
What they said. Frigging Olympics. :(
The photo of Bolt grinning at the camera as he leaves the rest of the field behind is all over the place - it's a terrific photo. Someone said it might be the most memorable of the games.
I would go so far as to say he has been out-acted by trees on the show.
Oh, my Buffistas, how do I live online without you.
I miss her so much today. There are so many things I would have told her, at length, in email, about this week, and talking to her in my head really isn't the same.
