Grandpa, Grandma… and Stickboy

So yesterday, on my way home from work, i get a text message. It’s a reminder from my Google Calendar. My grandpa’s 87th birthday would have been next week.

I knew it was coming, but the reminder kind of slapped me across the face a little bit.

I’ve been thinking about him, and about my grandma, almost every single day. The desire to cry and shout and punch things is palpable, but i don’t. I carry on. After all, i’m not the one who died. I am living. I have it pretty good. Still, it seems like something should be done on their behalf.

On a far, far lighter (and yet somehow nastier) note, i recently won and received this.

By jae

jae lethe (he/she/they) is a blogger, musician, artist, poet, web developer/designer, armchair philosophizer, teller of tales, and gadabout. Also, something he calls a "behavioral artist." (Not sure.) She has plans. BIG plans.

Among the things that he has done for a laugh are minor fractures, cuts, scrapes, and various scabs. Though she's quick to point out that they're no imbecile, we're fairly certain that he thinks the word means some kind of medieval pharmacist.

This is her latest home on teh internets - where jae stores their swear words, when they're not hurling them at the sun in vain.
