The Yanks have their Memorial Day this week, making this weekend a long one (Sat-Mon).
The Familia and I are off to Shenandoah Valley is Virginia.
I will not be able to read posts or receive any emails during the weekend.
So it's not the lack of love that will keep me from commenting.

I'll post a whole long post about the weekend.

That's also the reason I drove today, we had to go to the Air Port in order to hire a Leviathan a.k.a. A Chevrolet Mini Van.

Just for scope I can stand in the car with my legs straight and by back only slightly bent.

That isn't a car.
That's a monstrosity!

Presents!

I just received a most perfect present from my sister in England via Amazon.
Not one.
Not two.
But three books!

#1 A Handmaid's Tale By Margaret Atwood (feminist perspective distopia).
#2 A Room of Ones Own by Virginia Woolf (it's amazing how far women have come, yet how much further we must go)
And last but certainly not least:
#3 The Quotable Slayer (no explanation necessary)

What fabulous gifts!

V and Justice

V: Ah, I was forgetting that we are not properly introduced. I do not have a name. You can call me V. Madam Justice...this is V. V... this is Madam Justice. hello, Madam Justice.

Justice: Good evening, V.

V: There. Now we know each other. Actually, I've been a fan of yours for quite some time. Oh, I know what you're thinking...

Justice: The poor boy has a crush on me...an adolescent fatuation.

V: I beg your pardon, Madam. It isn't like that at all. I've long admired you...albeit only from a distance. I used to stare at you from the streets below when I was a child. I'd say to my father, "Who is that lady?" And he'd say "That's Madam Justice." And I'd say "Isn't she pretty."

V: Please don't think it was merely physical. I know you're not that sort of girl. No, I loved you as a person. As an ideal.

Justice: What? V! For shame! You have betrayed me for some harlot, some vain and pouting hussy with painted lips and a knowing smile!

V: I, Madam? I beg to differ! It was your infidelity that drove me to her arms!

V: Ah-ha! That surprised you, didn't it? You thought I didn't know about your little fling. But I do. I know everything! Frankly, I wasn't surprised when I found out. You always did have an eye for a man in uniform.

Justice: Uniform? Why I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about. It was always you, V. You were the only one...

V: Liar! Slut! Whore! Deny that you let him have his way with you, him with his armbands and jackboots!

V: Well? Cat got your tongue? I though as much.

V: Very well. So you stand revealed at last. you are no longer my justice. You are his justice now. You have bedded another.

Justice: Sob! Choke! Wh-who is she, V? What is her name?

V: Her name is Anarchy. And she has taught me more as a mistress than you ever did! She has taught me that justice is meaningless without freedom. She is honest. She makes no promises and breaks none. Unlike you, Jezebel. I used to wonder why you could never look me in the eye. Now I know. So good bye, dear lady. I would be saddened by our parting even now, save that you are no longer the woman I once loved.

*KABOOM!*
