Interesting stuff.

Anyways, a post tomorrow about the photo shoot on Saturday.

Opinion Time!

All right, faithful readers!  I have a challenge for you.

I recently stumbled across this Reuters article about a company in Switzerland that is now offering to turn the cremated ashes of your loved ones into a diamond that you can apparently carry around with you for the rest of your days.

There are a few ways I can see this going down.

• “Oh, Tanya, I love that necklace!  The gems are simply stunning!”  “Really?  Well, this one is cousin Charlie, the smaller one is Great-Aunt Vera, this one is Granny, and this big one is my Uncle Richard.  He always was a bit on the chunky side, you know.”
• “*sob* *sob* *hiccup*  Timothyyyyyyyyy…”  Accompanied by a clattering sound, which is oddly similar to a rock (coughcough) falling into a hole in the ground.

Seriously, though, the procedure costs slightly less than what it would cost to bury, for instance, me, if I happened to die right at this very moment.  Plus, one gets an attractive, smooth stone instead of a rotting dead body lying around the house.

Sound useful, eh?

Well, my dear readers, I’d love to know what you think about this.  Seriously.  It’s a writing challenge.  I don’t care what you do — base a fiction on it, write an essay, state your opinion, whatever floats your boat.  I just want some reaction to this.  Hehe.

So, whatever you decide to do — let me know.  If you send me a trackback, or leave a comment with a link, I’ll visit your site.  (And my other readers just might, too.)  If you just want to leave a comment, that’s cool, too!

Looking forward to seeing thoughts on this…

Another Quick Update

I’m going to see Iron Man today.

My best friend, Cactus, on Iron Man:  “Batman wishes he was this cool.”

Oh, No
