Dearest
renenet,
You are the very bestest beta and Vid-Co-Parent I could ask for. I wish you nothing today but sweet and good Mounties and possibly some deep thoughts. Or not. Today should be frivolous with a side of cake, and totally sans deep thoughts unless they are the fun kind of deep thoughts of the insane and enabling kind. Those are good.
And take-out. There should be take-out of some kind. And if I am not mistaken, you are probably up to "Flashback" by now in your "due South" viewing. If not - I wish you "Flashback" for your birthday. I'd mention specific things in that episode that are there strictly because it is your birthday but if you have not seen it, that would spoil you.
Of course, you probably zipped past "Flashback" yesterday afternoon and are now waiting patiently for me to send you Season 4. Which I totally will. Soon. For your birthday! Which I totally did not forget!
And I am giving deep consideration to your Mountie Amalgamation Theory and I think you are onto something. He is new. This is a bright shiny day for the world. Things are sliding into place. As they should on your birthday.
Just...if for some reason we were on an airplane that went down in the wilderness and you were suffering from some sort of temporary blindness and another sort of more permanent mental unhingedness... I would totally sing "California Dreaming" with you, even though I don't know all the words, and I would also try not to let you walk into any trees.
And let's face it - even with full and unimpeded sight, I am far more likely to walk into trees. You'd have a cautionary hand out in front of you because you are sensible like that.
But I will try to keep us alive until
heres_luck comes to rescue us.
You know what would be ultra-cool though? If, while you are blind and insane and I am the person in charge out in the Great Green Yonder - if we get attacked by a bear. Cause I am fairly certain that if I am ever gonna do anything truly heroic, it will involve a bear attack. It just seems my entire life, most of the dramatic moments of any fictional story I have ever really liked have involved Bear Attacks.
Now - I don't want Sid with us, because if you have a dog and are attacked by a bear, the dog will die to save you. This is like written in stone. Unless the dog is Benji. He never dies. Even when he is hunted.
OMG!!! Bear Attack in a Cave-in!!!

Date: 2005-07-18 11:19 pm (UTC)I did watch through "Flashback" yesterday and there were good things of goodness just for me, but I can't think about it right now — well, I can think about it around the edges, but I can't look directly at it — because last night and all day today I've been in coping mode, like you do when you can't stop your life for a month to deal with Severe Personal Trauma. My love for dS is Level Four Severe Emotional Trauma. And truly one of the best birthday presents EVER.
I'm thinking of replacing the Mountie Amalgamation Theory with the Anti-Angel Theory. I think our work in this area stands to significantly advance the field of Comparative Character Theory.
