Well, evidently night time, as it was a month ago, is the time that all this is real. However, the sadness is so bittersweet, and so wonderful, that I’d be so much of a lesser person not to know it, if it meant not knowing the emotions behind it.
Or something. What I’m saying is that I wouldn’t trade it for anything, I hurt worse because I had it so good. Or something.
Right.
But now its the morning, I slept in until 9:45 because my boys kick ass and got their own breakfast (you ROCK, boys), and we’re fixing to watch Transformers The Movie, on its return engagement to what I’m sure will be a daily showing for the next week or so.
Ahh, Transformers the Movie. Its a great milestone in 80’s culture, lemme tell you. Commercial gone art. Complete with widdlywiddlyweeeee hair metal sound track. A pre washed up Judd Nelson. Orson Welle’s final performance. Leonard Nimoy as the bad guy.
The opening act is the violent destruction of damn near all of the Transformers that millions of kids watched religiously on a daily basis.
Oh yes, its a mighty movie.

Speaking of mighty, is the river of snot running from Pigpen’s nose. I think its time for intervention, so I’m running out to pick up some Benedryl, and while I’m out, maybe some Hardee’s biscuits.
Thanks for your fine comments, that all got eaten by Dr. Dave. Seriously, I think the spam catcher is on meth or something. I disabled part of it that doesn’t seem to be getting along with the Newmor (or, the new ‘tumor, aren’t I clever?… don’t answer that), but it distingushed itself last night by blocking EVERY SINGLE COMMENT left.
Nice work, spam catcher! 100%!

So the inane cliche, “’tis better to have loved and lost…” is not so trivial after all.
I’m so sorry that you hurt, but so glad that you had something very special that will forever be part of who you are.
I wish I’d known her longer or better, but ever so fortunate for the little time I did have. She was funny, wise beyond her years, and someone I really wanted to know better.

(mid) Mornin’, AT!
Hope the sun is shining in Oak Ridge and you have the chance to turn your face up towards it today and soak up some of that magic mojo/vitamin D stuff that makes your mind and body feel a little better. I’m doing just that here in the Brentwood-hood, amidst all of the Republicans, SUV’s and ostentatious Christmas light displays (which I secretly love).
I honestly hope that the fact that you can send a scream of pain out into the night of cyberspace and know that there are strangers and friends that hear it, acknowledge it and send love back ‘atcha counts for something in the middle of this whole experience. It is very heartening to me, and makes me kind of proud to be a member of the human race.
People really do care, AT– how great is that?
Have a good one,
Tori

My Dr. Dave did that for about a week before it figured it out. But it’s working fine now and catching all the notices about mature dildo adult sex toy distribution.
Wow, this comment has no chance of getting through.
December 16th, 2006 at 12:12 pm
Yes, but ironically, Jon, this is the one that made it through…
Folks, you see what this means? If you want a comment to appear on Atomictumor.com, you probably ought to mention something about dildos.

Uhhh…garden?

Mmmm…Hardee’s biscuits! My mouth waters even as I read the words!
Hope Pigpen’s nose stops soon - runny noses = stock in Kleenex

I am glad the morning finally came for you; with the sleeping in late and the amazing kids (!)
And so it is another day.
And we are still here and praying for you.
And BJ is still with you too!
Peace and Beauty to you all.

Hey, AT - I’m just going to keep posting this one until I know you’ve seen it - Jeff Tweedy is playing a solo show in Nashville at TPAC January 17. If you can possibly get here, I have the feeling it’ll be worth the trip. Details:

Question:
Have ya seen the previews for the live-action, brand-spankin’ new version of The Transformers movie?
Thoughts?
December 17th, 2006 at 9:59 am
Jean, I saw something on Pitchfork about that… I dunno, I don’t know if I’d leave the metro area for a Tweedy show. I’ve seen Wilco twice, so to overcome the entropy they’d have to have like, juggling clowns, or something.
Now, Of Montreal will be in Asheville in March, and MastaG and I are probably gonna go…
