Two Grand Dames Gone in as Many Days

When the moonlight and the bra struck, it seems they claimed two lives. Yesterday by the time I got out of work it seems my Twitter feed had dropped all other tasks in favor of mourning Carrie Fisher. Now Debbie Reynolds too is all over it, and I watched the clip of "Good Morning" from Singing in the Rain when someone linked to it, which was when it hit me: Debbie was the last survivor of that trio. Now they're all three of them dead. At least Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford are still alive. For now. Three more days left in 2016. I don't want to think about who's going to show up dead tomorrow.
(I've also been hit by a plot bunny involving Karen Page writing obituaries, one per month, including Peggy Carter's of course-the Russos were quite prescient, having her die off this year! Not sure I'll go through with that one though. It might leave me too depressed.)
Might also break out my DVDs of Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi someone in the next few days, though I'm not sure I'm ready just yet.
Nearly done with a skating montage, too. Probably within the next few days, maybe I'll even have it up tomorrow night. Of course, I'm going with the assumption none of the Russian skaters will get stripped of their medals...

I remember someone saying in the comments of one site that now any time a celeb shows up unexpectedly in a headline they're afraid to look, because their default reaction is currently "who now?". I'm starting to see it.

I get anxious any time I see a celebrity's become a trending topic!

Same. Was not happy this morning when Betty White made it because someone started a Go Fund Me to "keep her alive through 2016".
