RIP

I found out last night that Jane Wyatt aka Spock's mother Amanda died at age 96. She truly made Amanda "worthy of being loved". Read more here.

Over at MSN the Quote of the Day is: "Painting is poetry which is seen and not heard, and poetry is a painting which is heard but not seen." - Leonardo da Vinci

I rather like that.

There are a few ironies - the late Nan Dibble (I haven't had the heart to delete her lj) came as their/her dead grandmother. It's researchgrrrl who should be dressed as a ferret not siegelit. I doubt spikedluv would dress up as Ted Williams as she's a Yankees fan. And I'm trying hard to imagine what a Tobey Maguire & Queen Elizabeth love child would look like *g*
