People Are Strange

Yes, I have been very upset over Lilo. The world is upset over Lilo. That poor angel, as my co-worker said to me yesterday "I just wanna take a hold her and give her a truly nice smack-down cocaine experience that will make her feel all better."

So the thing is, people are strange, and fascinating. I just read about this uber-hot, art couple, Theresa Duncan and Jeremy Blake, that apparently committed a double suicide. Duncan killed herself on July 10 and a week later Blake was seen walking naked into the ocean and was never seen again. The couple apparently had become very paranoid that members of the Church of Scientology were stalking them, well here's the article from the LA Times, it's crazy.

Duncan was a blogger and had a site that was apparently THE blog of blogs, it was titled The Wit of the Staircase. She posted a very interesting quote the day she killed herself...and what's weird is reading her past posts, it seems like everything was okay and she had so many plans...

And what did I learn from all this? It's about the blog's title, as described here from the blog, The Wit of the Staircase:

From the French phrase 'esprit d'escalier,' literally, it means 'the wit of the staircase', and usually refers to the perfect witty response you think up after the conversation or argument is ended. "Esprit d'escalier," she replied. "Esprit d'escalier. The answer you cannot make, the pattern you cannot complete till aterwards it suddenly comes to you when it is too late."

I'm so always thinking of the esprit d'escaliers.
