Hey Kurt

not exactly the best time right now, Phil

Oh - I know, it's just, I'm such a big fan. I figured I'd better say hi now while you're in bloggable limbo before you really pass on

Hmph. That's fair, I guess

You seem like you're upset about something

Not being dead, certainly

Worse things have happened, eh? Look on the bright side of it - you're getting some of the warmest reception of anybody I've ever seen in my lifetime.

You didn't seem very impressed

What? Are you kidding me? I started a conversation with you. I never start these things.

You didn't seem too emotional, is all

You're upset because I didn't cry.

Of course I'm upset that you didn't cry! You cried when Johnny Cash died

I was all fucked up when Johnny Cash died.

Well you should get all fucked up when I die, too. Make it an Irish-style wake or something

But you're not Irish.

I was not Irish. I'm not much of anything anymore

Okay, you were not Irish.

And just because I wasn't Irish doesn't mean you can't have an Irish wake for me. You're Irish.

And French. And I don't think that's the idea.

Well, I don't see why you can't break out a bottle of scotch and a pack of pall malls to celebrate this whole ordeal of mine

You know, I'm not sure Pall Malls originated in Ireland. Or, uhh, Scotch, really.

Hey, Kurt?

Hm?

What's it like? Limbo? Before you really move on?

Hard to say, I guess.

You're the king of description. I don't see how anything is hard to say when you're you

No, I mean it's hard to say. They've got a statute of limitations to what you can tell bloggers from over here. Hush-hush and all that.

Oh - I get it. Hey uhh, one more thing, Kurt?

Hm?

Are you going to be mad if I wait until after my exams before re-reading Breakfast of Champions again?

No, I won't be mad

Okay, phew. because that would've been almost fail-worthy.

Probably would have, yes
