The One That Got Me

Years after Stephen King’s ” Pet Sematary had been released, I took it in my head to read it again, because lol, I had started work in a Funeral Home.

Gertrude Abercrombie, Pink Carnations, 1939

One day

my brother and I were talking about the stuff we had accumulated over our lives.  In my case that would be my guitars, books, Halloween decorations, some artwork my collection of Pez Dispensers and my Gargoyle collection.

My Brother looked at me the way our Dad did when he caught me being a world class idiot and he said, ” you know, you should get rid of stuff that doesn’t really matter.

” Like what” I asked him. ” which of my treasures should I get rid of first?”

” Well. Those Pez things are junk and do you need all of those books? Be real,  you know that you CAN  happily exist without  a gargoyle collection. ”

I pictured myself in a coffin, wearing a dress I didn’t like, which would be ok because it’s dark in there.  I saw the pictured myself covered with dust and mold and I also  pictured my brother digging me up, prying open my coffin lid and looking down at me with that same look our Dad used to give me when he caught me being a world class idiot ( which was often ) and saying…

” Anita. Did you REALLY need to take this with you to your grave? REALLY?

“Yes,”I’d say as I worked open my rotting jaw to answer him.

Absolutely.

Yes”

RDP Sunday: PERPETUAL

From the time we enter the system- for our driver’s licenses, ID’s passports until the time we are no long bound to this mortal coil, we have to update our information or pictures on those little documents that state who we are and that yes we do exist- in the system anyway.

There is an exception to that rule though and of course that rule is set aside for royalty.

Specifically one royal.

I am referring to Ramesses the ll.

In case  you’re not up on your Ancient History, Ramesses II is often regarded as the greatest, most celebrated, and most powerful pharaoh of the New Kingdom. His successors and later Egyptians called him the “Great Ancestor” and guess what he has a passport.

It was necessary for Ramses The Great to obtain a passport ( as required by laws in France regarding entry and travel ) so that he could be sent to France and be treated for a fungus that was damaging his mortal remains..

Forever and ever Ramesses II, a citizen of Egypt will never have to update his passport photo.

Lucky, lucky Ramesses

RDP Saturday: Bizarre

I’ve been experimenting with creating images via Gemini on google and some of the results are bizarre.

I asked to create an image that included a morgue, demons a corpse and an attendant.

It’s what AI added that I found bizarre:

The lighting fixture was weird, in addition I didn’t ask for one.

The lighting fixture was prominent that’s what caught my eye I don’t know what the significance of the book is, was it supposed to be used to call the demons forth? Bring the corpse back to life? Again it’s prominent so I wonder why it was added.

And I guess I should mention that I didn’t specify that the attendant had to be male, but Gemini hit it’s default mode and went with a guy.

I have enjoyed using AI to create images for my blog posts, and as fun as it is I can see how some people end up creating more complex images on some high end sites. I don’t want to go there, but this is a useful if not interesting tool.
