So apparently my mom needs to know her moms death date for some kind of documentation she needs. And she doesn't remember. So she asked me because I have some genealogy stuff. I had one person on ancestry but it was the wrong one because the date was all off. Finally found a different reference that seemed more right....and was able to double-check it against an old livejournal entry. How weird. (It was 2006. Mom wasn't even sure of the year, but eventually thought it out and decided fall 2006, because she retired in 2007...so that was where I looked)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Livejournal is excellent for that. I suppose Facebook would work, these days, although I don't know how to search that so well.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
FYI, the Social Security Death Index is online and public. If there's a death certificate and you know basic information, you can find it. I verified my grandparents' death date that way.

Elle Fanning. Kate Hudson. Several Natalie Portmans. A man in a blazer scanned his phone, stumped. “You know, in ‘Sex & the City 2’? When they’re in Dubai? That butler?” asked Siddhartha Banthiya, an investment banker.
This was a part I found surprisingly on point, though. Of course this guy has to choose a speechless walk on part because he's INDIAN (I assume) because, Hollywood.
But that wasn't the point, right?
These trend pieces are just trolling the rest of humanity, right?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That was rough. Luckily, that guy can console himself with money.

I should write a parody of the wedding article, but using my wedding, with the unexpected historical reenactors, banjo band, and invasion of stinkbugs.

I tried the social security database but had limited success--doesn't help that she had an extremely common name. Apparently there was another woman of the same name (after marriage--who knows her maiden) born the same day and year, also in Chicago, who married a man with the same (even more common) name as my grandfather. But who died like, four years after my grandmother.

I thought my desktop computer was dead, but tonight I managed to boot it and perform a system repair. Now I'm running diagnostics and backing up shit.
