"Please remember me..."

Because this seemed appropriate given that for some of us this is a time of remembering those who have departed this plane/world/life.

"Dante's Prayer"
Loreena McKennitt

When the dark wood fell before me
And all the paths were overgrown
When the priests of pride say there is no other way
I tilled the sorrows of stone

I did not believe because I could not see
Though you came to me in the night
When the dawn seemed forever lost
You showed me your love in the light of the stars

Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me

Then the mountain rose before me
By the deep well of desire
From the fountain of forgiveness
Beyond the ice and the fire

Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me

Though we share this humble path, alone
How fragile is the heart
Oh give these clay feet wings to fly
To touch the face of the stars

Breathe life into this feeble heart
Lift this mortal veil of fear
Take these crumbled hopes, etched with tears
We'll rise above these earthly cares

Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me
Please remember me

Silliness

[02:01:41] <JadeNSC> Okay, so far Pandora has advertised Trojan Fire & Ice condoms at me and now the background is an ad for NuvaRing.
[02:01:48] <JadeNSC> You think someone's trying to tell me something?

Yes, I'm up very late. I have a lot on my mind. Going to bed soon, though.

Kiddo-isms

Jade opens up her new Sony Walkman 16GB mp3 player.
Jade: "Aw, it's so small and cute."
Kiddo: "It's not cute! It's awesome!"

Kiddo: (In a very matter-of-fact tone.) "After Scobby Doo is over, I'm going to play Nick games." (Points at my laptop, which I am currently using.)
Jade: (Raises an eyebrow.) "Oh really?"
Kiddo: "Yep!"
