goddamn, I never want to be part of the mourning family at a funeral.

It must've really sucked for them. Not only was the service so amazingly lovely and heart-wrenching (though in that sweet, lovingly remembering kind of way), but then there was a never-ending receiving line. To have to stand through that, for over an hour after the service, and hear from everyone (you don't really know...) how much they'll miss your father/husband and how sorry they are for your loss. it would be brutal.

It was inspiring though, all those people. probably over 500. from all over. That man touched a lot of people's lives, and it really showed. But then, he was just so inspiring. And it sounds weird to say this, but I was thinking about how so many people die young(ish) and people talk about how much more accomplishment they could've had in their lives; with him though, it seemed like he'd lived that full life already. Granted, he had a lot more to do too, so it was too short, but it was far from empty. I feel so bad for his kids and wife. They're losing him at such an important time... he'd just stopped being dean, and his kids are all between 28 and 23... when you're finally adult enough to learn about your parents as people and not just parents. They had so much to live for as a family. Of course, they still do, it'll just feel empty on one side now. so awful. and so sudden.

HOLYSHIT THERE'S TOO MUCH GOING ON TONIGHT - PERCY'S WHAT'S YOUR CELL PHONE NUMBER?

Hello everyone! This is rather out of character but here's the plan that I intend to die - er...execute with:

Huh, and I thought the word of the day would be Paraskavedekatriaphobia. Silly me.

yeah i read that article. i don't believe James Iha has responded to it just yet. you can see him in the many party photos of Cobrasnake and Last Night's Party, and you can also hear his remixes of Annie and shit on the interweb
