Well, most of the important legal documents are in a "fireproof" safe, so I guess my laptop, box of photos (I should really put them on-line somewhere to better preserve them), and my diaries. But, really, I suppose I could let it all burn so long as Spook and the kitties were safe. No real need to risk my life for memories if we can just make more together.

Oh, especially if it was by a steamroller or getting pulled into machinery where you are fully conscious as your extremities are destroyed first, your torso next, and you still have regular brain activity right up until your skull is crushed. That would quash a mood. Yup.

I used to collect personal mementos from strangers who died, especially by OD or suicide, or were forcefully evicted. But that was when I lived by myself in Detroit and was clinically depressed. My favorite items were the audio cassettes this guy made of he and his dad's truly dysfunctional relationship and the mildly bloodied hoodie of a crack whore who was beaten in the alley. Oh, and I preserved a headless preying mantis I inexplicably found in the bathroom of my fourth floor apartment. They just reminded me both of the utter meaningless cruelty and isolation we endure every day and, counterintuitively, how desperately I wanted to live in spite of all that ugliness. I still like reading obituaries, too.

I'm quite sure she's serious. My aunt teaches "science" in fundamentalist schools. She taught her own kids that the dinosaurs died because they didn't fit on the ark. I'm not making that up.

Cake and death, please, but only if it's Death by Chocolate. Or death in 24 little cupcake installments. Or a quintuple layered death with alternating fillings of cream and mousse. Yes, any of those. Oh, but any which way, I want piped roses. K?

I was just there last week. Denver, I mean. We didn't shop at the Tattered Cover, but I do covet that store. Lucky you.

Congrats, Siren! Yay!

I'm feeling much better than I did last night. I was fine all day, but come evening, I was gripped suddenly by a general sense of malaise. Soon after, my case of food poisoning/stomach flu made its grand entrance. Pretty much, though, I think everything left me last night. Now I'm just recovering slowly. I am too cautious about eating and drinking, however, and I think that's slowing my recovery. I need to replenish my liquids.

September 24th sounds good to me.

Welcome!

Welcome!

Welcome, Yuria.

I'm sick. It sucks.

I don't know the band or the song. I noticed something unique about your name right away, though. Maybe it's my love of anagrams and palindromes that so alerted me.

Is that why there are so many cracks in it and it smells like shit?

Yes, accepted in Webster's first, but it is nonsensical as the prefix and suffix are both negations.

Irregardless. Volumptuous. Dethaw. Addicting. They aren't real words. 'Regardless' and 'voluptuous' and 'addictive' are. Also, you can freeze (and even refreeze) something or you can thaw it. Dethaw makes no sense whatsoever. And 'utilize' is a three syllable ubiquitous monstrosity where 'use' worked just fine.

What do you get if you stand eternal on his head?

Welcome back.

Happy birthday, DGN!

Hope you had a wonderful birthday! Please forgive the lateness of my wishes, but hugs and happiness to you, my friend!

Hope that you had a happy birthday!

Welcome back!

Parasites are scary. Had a bedbug scare while visiting in Denver. Nowhere near as gross as Botfly, but still nasty. I'm wigging out because I'm covered in unidentified bites. I still strongly suspect that the vast majority are mosquito bites, but some look eerily characteristic of bedbugs. EVERYTHING is getting washed in hot water and then kept in quarantine when we get home. Oh, and Botfly are a risk in Hawaii, too. Friend of mine got one in her eye. Yes, her eye. Takes a split second for the adult to lay the egg. Said friend thought she just got sand in her eye while gardening until she saw something moving in there. Very gross. The ER says she was lucky where it was that it didn't cause blindness.

Yeah, seems about right, just up to the point that you shoot the baby in the head. Then you realize that the legal ramifications are very different. Additionally, zombies are never cute, even on accident.
