sundries: late night, very random

[rm]

Little Kitty's ashes are back. I need a cat urn. It doesn't need to be cat-shaped. It needs to be round and squat though, like Little. I don't really have the emotional energy for the research (I tried). Any vendor recs?

Dreamwidth is under attack from anti-free speech trolls of the sort that may have precipitated the LJ StrikeOut thing. I don't really need to underline all the ways in which I have NO patience for this, do I?

I have just discovered the Whuffie Bank, and that I have nearly as many Whuffies as Lexa Doig. Despite telling you this, I don't know what it means.

Project Runway is back in NYC. Thank god.

Did any Jack/Alonso work show up while I was gone other than the piece by xtricks? Anyway, trying not to read, as I spent a lot of time on the boat (duh) cogitating on my own piece which I hope to be awake enough to write tomorrow.

Speaking of Alonso.... I'm seeing the rumors everywhere that he's in the not officially announced TW, S4 -- are any of the rumors from good sources? I haven't been back long enough to really look or poke my own sources with sticks.

Charity List and Haiti-related links to come. I need to be awake to do it, and obviously, people are ahead of me.

Started reading Sherlock Holmes on the boat. No one told me about the Mormons. Or the purple prose.

I'm so sorry about Little. I loved your posts about her and Pretty and I know that you loved her and tried so hard.

There is a place in NJ called Abbey Glen - http://www.abbeyglen.com/services.html - They cremated my 22 year old GOLDFISH (that we had to have EUTHANIZED - How do you euthanize a goldfish? very carefully!), being extremely careful and keeping the temperature much lower so he didn't poof. When I worked as a vet tech, I went to various conferences and talked with their representatives - they're good people. I also got to see their Life Gems and a few examples of their urns. They may be pricey but they are really lovely.

As for Jaws (my goldfish), his ashes are currently in a really neat bronze fish 'statue?' with a little opening in the top. My mother found it in either TJ Maxx or Homegoods (I can't remember which). He hangs out on the window sill near where his tank used to be, and my mom is comforted. (Her allergies are so bad that he was the only pet she had)

I actually found a small, hollowed out marble sphere at Dragon*Con in 2000, that I used to put some of my dear friend's ashes in (with his family's blessing). I believe it was under $20.

I hope you're able to find something that you find appropriate for your dear girl.
