And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Is it possible you've connected it to a socket that is connected to a switch that's been turned off?

The phone works fine, just the feature set. For working from home I need hands free for con calls.

As for the magic of the killing of the other phones, the bases all work fine, but the batteries in the handsets die (I even replaced batteries for one iteration of phone, and it only gave me a few months). I just dunno. I look askance at people who claim their body field breaks watches, but seriously, cordless phones cannot really have as short a shelf life as my apartment implies.

I love this movie.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I love this movie.

It's a remarkable work. Extremely depressing, or in other words, Russian. They made a sequel, apparently, which retconned the first movie pretty significantly. (Not as savagely as Highlander II, though.)

Tumblr is completely fascinating me. I love watching who likes which posts and who reblogs stuff. I have no idea how people are seeing this stuff. I guess I don't get it after all.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

We are short two hymns and/or songs for my grandfather's funeral and no one can decide what to use.

(Please, no smart-ass suggestions.)

Also, all of the suggested Old Testament readings are kind of scary.

I've always liked "In the Garden" as far as hymns go.

edit: And "Abide with Me".

It's So Hard To Say Goodbye? Not trying to be smartass-two of my last three funerals featured that, by Boys II Men, and it wrecked me for the song forever. Are you doing second line type ceremonies, Dana?

No, very traditional Catholic funeral. Small, fortunately. Everything at the funeral home.

Because books.

Dana, does anyone like "Amazing Grace"?

There's also Good Night and Good Morning.

Then I got nothing. Turns out most of my adult funerary experience involves New Orleans and the second line. BFF was surprised to see pictures from my last one. I'm like! Dude! The band! The sister on drums! Confetti! It's a parade!

Should do that for me, even though I probably won't kick it in the Big Easy. I'll appropriate in death.
