The Stars and the Cookie Jar

I have memorised the Mission Statement [ of the Company ] thanks to old-school mnemonic technology (read: I acronymmed the first letters) so now I can waste the rest of the day.

This morning I went through my photograph shoebox, and found one of Aiain and me coloring on the grass at the farm, and one of Dee at the Justice Brandeis dinner in 1999 (me looking like a charity case and a fashion disaster as per usual, and what the hell was with my hair?) This photo is notable chiefly because it came from someone else's camera and I did not know it existed until this summer past when it dropped out of the Sappho that Andrea gave me, and because in it, Anya is looking sideways at Dee with an expression that says quite tartly 'I'll kill you five times before we hit the ground'.

I do wonder why they hated each other that much. At this distance, and both of them dead and gone, I still have no clue.

But I had really good dreams last night, for a change, and I am going to see a movie, have coffee at a Non-Starbucks, and then spend two hours at the bookstore.

Also, I found Photographic Proof of Mike, Lawrence and Sonya! You'd think the camera would have melted!
