Dead ones and the living

[sovay]

I slept twenty minutes last night and all of them were nightmares. I write this e-mail from a dentist's office in Davis Square, where after an hour derspatchel is finally being seen for the filling that disintegrated on Monday night (it is that kind of week). I appear to have just watched the Pope abdicate on CNN. I've had better-starting mornings.

(Probably so has the Pope, but I bet he isn't tired enough to hallucinate movement in the brickwork across the street.)

[edit] I still really keep hoping for an antipope. I know it's not going to happen. I'm just saying.

You could join the sedevacantists, and then the new Pope would *be* an anti-pope...

Good lord, this WEEK. This MONTH.

Is it too late to hide under something? I'll bring blankets if you'll bring muffins.

If the bricks get up to anything especially interesting, I hope you'll let us know. Maybe you and derpsatchel can go for bubble tea after he gets done having the filling replaced.

Good gravy. Maybe what your karma needed was an ex-pope? I certainly hope that your bad luck goes with him. May the white smoke go up: Habemus fortunam!

And again I say onto you: ARGH

Wishing a quiet evening of snacks, sweatpants and fuzzy slippers-- for you, and for the pope.

One gargoyle coming to life for a pope abdication. Is that too much to ask?

I'm sorry for your lack of sleep and derspatchel's dental issue.

I hope matters will improve soon, at least a bit, for both of you.

Yikes. I hope you get better sleep (and better dreams) tonight.

So, I assume the college of cardinals will keep things ticking over until they elect a new pope, but is one of them the official senior official in the meantime? And do the other cardinals go "Whee! Substitute Pope!" and throw paper airplanes at him when his back is turned?

A girl can dream, can't she?
