Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

I think they just glare quietly at each other now.

They are British, after all. Restrained social freeze-outs when they meet at the same parties.

I imagine "Whee, we're married!" celebrations wouldn't look good on the day of a major funeral. Camilla's staying home, probably muttering nasty words under her breath.

I was just talking about this with my roommate. My guess was that, as a sort-of head of state (sub-head, maybe.... but more important than a vice president, to be sure), a major world event like a pope dying (which is like 9/11 or greater level in its world significance) is cause to postpone your wedding, I'd say.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

When William was filling out the ledger for Eaton, he leaned over to his mum and asked, "What religion are we?"

Eton--unless he was applying to a stationery company. :)

Great anecdote, though--snerk.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Actually, I think they make nice face-to-face and then roll their eyes forever and make little "What. Ev." handsigns behind each other's backs.

"Did you see that hat she was wearing? Like, it wasn't even a miter. And she calls herself the head of a church!"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Charles and Camilla aren't having a big to-do, are they? I think it would just look a little tacky -- "WOO HOO! I mean, we're terribly sad about the Pope, but... WOO! WEDDED BLISS AND SHIT!!"

I was really old before I learned how to pronounce Eton. One of those things that was in books, but nsm conversation.

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

I was really old before I learned how to pronounce Eton.

It was the silent "qhx" dipthong that always messed me up on that word.

I thought it was Eh-ton. I knew the Brits pronounced things funny -- sinjin and Beauchamp and whatnot.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I learned the pronunciation from Withnail and I.
