Mother's Day came and went; we had beef Marseilles and lemony bread pudding, during which I had to improvise the flavor of limoncello as we did not have the real thing. Turns out one tablespoon of lemon extract to three of Bacardi works. Who'da thunk it?

See, I am probably not the person to talk, given my historical crushes (which will eventually comprise one of my lists of ten), but I find Trotsky to be a Very Unattractive Man *g* I do, however, understand the Sexual Attraction To A Dead Person thing, because I have been known to have unchaste thoughts about Augustus and Agrippa on many an occasion :)

Oh, Tara, you're so always here for me. ;) I find him hotter than Hell in the summertime, but if it weren't for the brains and the passion, I don't know if I'd find him as hot. Give me a geek over a handsome vapid man any day. *g*

(Needless to say, our love is Tragedy Across the Space/Time Continuum! ANGSTWOE.)

You? Unchaste thoughts about Augustus? Oh, perish the thought. ;)

Oh totally. I would find Augustus significantly less hot if he had lost at Actium, I'm sure *g* Although... Cleopatra remains a sexy bitch, loss or not ;)

You'll have to go to Europe and stare sadly at statues. I have a photo of a Lenin statue, but no Trotsky ones, I'm afraid :(

It's hard to believe, isn't it?

Cleopatra was cool in her own right, though, and she actually put up a fight, which makes her doubleplus cool in my book. I can totally imagine her birching Antony. ;)

That is because there are no (or v. v. few) Trotsky statues. :( They were destroyed after Stalin consolidated his power and used it to pwn all the old Bolsheviks, driving them into death and/or exile.

I know. Totally out of character.

And you say us people who don't like fish are odd. Tsh.

I assume you find it odd that I had to go to Kentucky. Please be assured that I would never go to Kentucky if I weren't required to do so by my employer. I want to live with the normals like you, Cat!

Well so long as that's understood. I don't want you roaming around Kentucky at will, that's unsanitary. They make fried chickens there! Out of real chickens!

You don't need to socialise with people like that.

shake_the_stars May 16 2006, 22:48:05 UTC

Oh, I know! And they don't have accurate legal descriptions or anything! It's positively terrifying, and if I can stay on my side of the Ohio River in future, well, the happier we'll be.

I do need to socialize with angeljuggalette, as she is my friend, but other than that, I can take or leave Kentucky. And often choose to leave it. Screaming.
