Got paid. Earned more than I realized. Can pay bills, book a massage, order the wax seals and deal with my Regency wardrobe (as well as the suit I want from eShakti). Tres bien.

Am working on a piece of original fiction I hadn't wanted to deal with, but which won't leave me alone. Luckily it's just a short story. Unfortunately it means I need to find a few hours to research stuff about the demographics and educational requirements of morticians.

I know I've seen a tv show (years ago) that was a sortof reality tv/documentary about people going to mortician school. It's apparently quite involved.

Apparently, just like anything else, you can buy embalming fluid via the web. *loves* Gmail. Seriously, receiving this comment through gmail probably just solved all my research problems thanks to the links. Ha.

It sounds like now is an excellent time for you to read Thomas Lynch.

Also, yay Germans! Finally.

Actually, I want to read him _after_ I finish this story. While there is nothing fantastical about the tale; it is very here and real and now, and begins with a man awkwardly flirting with a woman in a supermarket, the tone of it is going to be a little heightened, as if these are people who live just a little bit too close to magick that they maybe work a little bit harder than the rest of us not to see it. And Thomas Lynch seems _so_ grounded, I'm not sure I want him to shatter my illusions until I've dealt with the first draft.

That makes sense.

I contemplated mortician school briefly in high school. Then I decided I wanted to get laid at least once in my life, and not by anyone who was into people who went to mortician school.
