Thursday bullets

• I think Missy Elliot and Ciara should make more songs together.


• We're trying to eat healthier and damn if that's not going to be difficult for me.


• I'd really like some ice cream cake right now.


• I want to move to Western Mass like, tomorrow. But we probably shouldn't move until the dad stuff is done.


• Easy day tomorrow - my favorite kind! But I have to remember to call Grandma about something.


• I'm really concerned about how our differing philosophies about life in general will adversely affect our relationship throughout the years. I already despise her current employment, if only for the clientele and their waste of money. Someone might be ordering $100K of merchandise (two diamond-encrusted pens !!! ) and instead of thinking about how great Jen's commission would be, I'm stuck on being angry with this guy for wasting so much money that could help save the world.


• Also, my father has a skull in his house (yes, a real skull) that purportedly comes from a Japanese person during WWII. Jodie said that you can send them back to Japan somehow for a proper burial. I am SO looking into this.

I'm so glad you are looking into sending the skull back...I know I couldn't sleep with something like that in the house.

Well, it's in my dad's house so I don't have to sleep with it. But honestly, there is so much stuff in that house that it's REALLY easy to forget it's there. :)

Your nearest consulate can probably set you up with information on returning the skull to Japan.

Thanks! I'll have to (yuck) look at it to see if I can verify in any way that it is a trophy skull from Japan first. And then make sure it's okay with my smurfbrother. But thanks so much for the info! I appreciate it.

OH Oh! Where in Western Mass? :) Best place in the world to live!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Smooch and I want to buy a house with a nice little yard somewhere in the Easthampton area, and raise hippie kids and garden forever and ever amen.

Want to help with that? I'm not above begging strangers.

[patty30.livejournal.com]

Help with which part? I might be too far away now (Minnesota) to help with anything. Except to throw huge claims that Massachusetts (western mass inparticularly) is the best place to live. i lived in the northern most western most portion of the state...spits throw from vermont and new york. loved it!

I was kind of joking about the helping thing. You know, like if you had a spare house lying around and you wanted to give it to us. :)

How is Minnesota? Why did you move?

[patty30.livejournal.com]

hahah no spare houses laying around. on first pass of the "needing help" i thought you wanted to rent a uterus hahaha
Minnesota is pretty good - moved because my partner got an opportunity to work at the #2 hospital in the country, could hardly pass up! Have made a lot of friends out here so it's not as bad as it seems. Although the midwest has never been to gay-friendly we do have some friendly gays :)

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Oooh, Rent-a-Uterus would be good, too. ;)

I'm glad you're liking Minnesota. I've never been up there but I had a blast when I spent 4 years in Columbus (OH). And getting better jobs is always good. :)

eating healthy doesn't mean that you don't get ice cream cake. it just means that you don't get ice cream cake all the time. :)

me = fatty

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

But mommy, I WANT I cream cake all the time!!!

According to the article I read the skulls will often have something written on them about where they came from and when. If not, are you missing a cousin or anyone?

If Japan doesn't want the skull back, what will you do with it?

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I'll have to take the skull out of the box and check, because I don't see anything written on top of it. But if it doesn't have anything on it, I guess I have to start going through the family. ;)

If it's Beth's skull, I'll totally lose it.

[rizzo41.livejournal.com]

O my god. That would be both horrible and hilarious.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

There's this weird dust on the floor in my dad's bedroom that I would /swear/ is a spilled pile of Beth's cremains.

No, really. When you come visit, you can peruse.

[rizzo41.livejournal.com]

snicker.

[smurfbrother.livejournal.com]

I don't think it is, thank heavens. The tripod for that brass telescope I took had a few wormholes in it, and tons of dust exactly that color and consistency came out when I took a can of compressed air to the holes.

Oh, good. Phew.
