Watching the new Kung Fu - thinking how much I wish ita could have seen the all female fight scenes.
Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

ita's thread
A place where we can talk about ita, miss ita, and share information about memorials. The hugging started over here in Natter.

I just saw that that exists yesterday, now I will have to seek it out!

Really? Is it good?
I remember watching the original back in the day, and a few years ago I decided it was beyond rebooting, the whole concept was unredeemable. So it's fascinating that someone actually went after it anyway.

Punishingly Intricate
Just found out one of my co-workers worked with ita years ago and now I have to tell her that ita passed. She remembers how awesome and sharp ita was and I'm feeling the loss again hard.

But it was a joy to talk about ita with someone who thought she was amazing.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

There's that part too.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I've been wondering, has anyone talked recently with ita's family?
Or Ginger's friends? I wonder about her dog. And I miss her fiercely.
As I do ita. Both of them I'll have a thought or a laugh and go ita would-- Ginger would-- Or want to ask one or the other a question about something.
Fuck.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The Pink Gingham Ting rosette JZ made for me is on my window just behind my monitor, so it's always in view.
(To my right I can see the card given when the Buffistas all pitched in money to help us get a new car, when we desperately needed it because I was still commuting cross Bay to Emmett's school.)
I think of Ginger any time I see some classic science fiction or fantasy art that I want to share, especially artists like Kelly Freas who she knew personally, and collected his work.
Think about Ed any time the Dodgers do anything good, or I want to share something about the Kinks.
Saw a dragon fountain rigged with LED lights so it looks like he's spewing fire, and wanted to share that with Connie.
Think about Ouise when I see Gorey's Dracula sets, because I sent her the Gorey toy theatre for xmas exchange one year.
Thought about my friend Todd, who died of Covid in January, when I was in Japantown and saw a cool t-shirt with not just Godzilla but the even more rare Jet Jaguar.
JZ's dad's birthday is 6/26. Hers is 6/27. Mine is 6/28 (so is Deb's!). He's always going to be clustered in with our birthdays.
And she's not dead, but I do miss Madrigal and will sometimes disconsolately search on her real name and see if she turns up.
