awws :[ I haven't heard of the writer, though I think I've heard of his books.

R.I.P.
But there's still tomorrow
Forget the sorrow
And I can be on the last train home

I am very sad, at the same time very happy. What a lucky thing it is to be missed from the world once you are gone. I've only ever read "Childhood's End", but Arthur C. Clark has got to be one of the best classic sci-fi writers.

Good for you for standing up for a non-religious funeral, A.C.C.

The world will miss you.
I'm not even angry... I'm being so sincere right now.
Even though you broke my heart.
And killed me... And tore me to pieces.
And threw every piece into a fire.

I was flummoxed by fractious Franny's decision to abrogate analgesics for the moribund victims of the recent conflagration. Of course, to display histrionics was discretionary, but I did so anyways, implicating a friend in my drama to make the effect cumulative. I think a misanthrope would have a prosaic appellation, perhaps one related to autonomy and the rejection of anthropocentrism. I think they wouldn't think much of the prominence of watching the coagulation of tea to prognosticate future malevolent events, not even if those events were related to jurisprudence.
