help me get down.

My aunt is going to be buried with her late husband in Alberta, so I have to start planning on being there for the interment. Which, my mom says, will probably be sooner rather than later

that does sound strange.

*hugs on you*

[thepurpleswitch]

There's no date yet or anything, obviously, but yeah. Exceeding strange.

*squish*

Excellent! I'm sure I'll be able to manage it, I just need to not read it when I'm exhausted and stressed, duh.

I'm surprised to say that I've never actually watched the movie all the way through. Huh.

As twilight-zone-ish as pre-planning for someone else's inevitable misfortune (how Canadian is that for 'horrible cancer death'???) seems, it's actually a good idea because your family will probably be crazier immediately after, and at least Certain Decisions Will Have Been Made.

Don't worry, Dean's already eyeing the Texas Mickey for you.

What do you think of Irvine Welsh (Welsh? or Welch?) as a writer? I got through about a half page of some book he wrote and thought it was awful. "Trainspotting" the movie was good, however, that other movie "Acid House" (that I saw in a Korean movie theater with the sound turned down because everyone else was reading Korean subtitles--this in a movie in which everything is in the thickest of Scot accents and slang) was awful as well. In my opinion, that is!

Well, I'm three stories into Trainspotting now. Other than tripping over the dialect, it's really not that bad, and I'm not the world's biggest fan of short fiction in general (I suppose it's not "really" short fiction because the stories are chronological and linked, but still--most of what I've read thus far was originally published as pieces of short fiction).

See, Irvine Welsh didn't write the screenplay for Trainspotting, but he did write Acid House, so. His writing might just not work for you. *shrug*
