What?  I'm the only ET-er who watched the Michael Jackson memorial?  My favorite part - Rev. Al telling the kids "there was nothing strange about your daddy" to Prince, Paris, and, uh... Blanket.  

I think I've just O.D.'d on surreal...

Oh, surely not... I was only prevented by, er, circumstances beyond my control, and I'm certain everyone else... No?

How's things, Izzy?

Things are ok, except that I'm now one tooth short.  I was thinking about having a big memorial for it, except in my howling pain, I didn't have my wits about me enough to ask the dentist for it.  Do you think if I laid out a little closed box with a flower on it anyone would know the tooth wasn't in there?

I'm sure. Unless they're expecting it to get up and dance.

Is your surname Jackson? ;)

was it safe for the dentist to work wearing only one glove?

There's a coincidence.

Just had one of my wisdom teeth out so I'm that much dumber, I guess...

The injection was the worst bit...I've always hated needles since I was a kid and they seemed like garden syringes then...

Why was it so early?  America is at the office and Japan is asleep.  

My brother was live-IMing it for me.  Said the casket was on some cheap rolling cart thing.  I said I thought it wouls be cool if he came out as a zombie and did the Thriller dance with some other undead dancers.  Because, honestly, that's how I fondly remember him.  Zombie dancing.

Wait, I thought the whole world came to a standstill, right?

I didn't see the cart thing - I tuned in a little late.  And there was no zombie dance, but the whole Jackson family sat in the front row, each wearing one white sequined glove. Although in what was perhaps a subtle protest, one brother wore it on the opposite hand - I think it was Tito.

sorry if I here reveal some innate lack in my psyche, but why would I want to ?

I forgot about it.  Until I got a text from my auntie saying she was crying watching it.  Oh and Swansea boy Shaheen performed as far as I gather.  But I have iplayer and Torchwood to catch up with to recover from work today (Can't wait for a week for a tape to turn up!)
