Burned like brilliant trash at your funeral.

I'm feelin' pretty full-up of maudlin melancholia and bitter longing today, boys and girls, as I am prone to being every year about this time. August 29th rolls around and I get to sentimentalizing and eulogizing and it usually devolves into anger and sadness

Even after I left, we took a Halloween road trip back there every year. There's no better place for Halloween!

As to whether or not she'll come back, well... if that ever happens, it won't be quite the same, and it sure as hell won't be under this administration. Sigh. Whaddyagonnadoo.

Awww. Thank you. Glad I didn't just manage to bum out the entire intarwebz for no good reason. :)

I FUCKING LOVE GREG PALAST. Thank you thank you. And also HOLY CHRIST I'M ALL ANGRY YET AGAIN. Goddammit.

You should really go. Give it about five years, though. It will probably take at least that long to clear out all the flipping garbage and let the rich assey white people finish building their federally-insured megacondo complexes and all.

I like when you play favorites. ;) (Not to mention when you make up verbs.)

Hug?

Mutual Dude Hug! ::squeeeeeeeze:: There, that's better.

I loved her, too. I never tired of her when I lived in Houston. My friends and I all went to her.

There's really absolutely no place on earth quite like it, huh. Or at least, like it was. :(

I know, and I'm sure people think I sound like a broken record. Because up here they JUST DON'T GET IT. No one I know up here has even been there. We were only 4 hours away, though, so we used to go all the time.

I KNOW. Exactly. The rest of the country mostly thought of it as a place to get ridiculously drunk, sweaty and laid. Sigh. (Not that it wasn't all those things too.)
