Organ Donation
Everyone should be a donor. If you're having an open casket, you might want to think twice about donating your bones.
As for no hospital ever fighting over remains, that is untrue. I remember one case where blood and bone products were harvested by a Red Cross branch without permission, and the Red Cross fought to keep them. I don't have a cite handy, but someone in my class did research on this. This reminds me. Before donating your organs, donate blood.
Funerals
Funeral Mass. Catholic Burial. Wake. Rosary. Headstone. Nothing flashy. I like the idea of Christopher O'Riley's solo piano version of Radiohead's "Exit Music (for a film)" being worked in somewhere. Although my family is Irish Catholic, I don't think the wake will be as boisterous as those involving Aunt Mary Margaret and Aunt Margaret Mary. Most of the extended family is out of state, so I don't envision a late-night row.
Matrix Revolutions
Sucked. I wasn't expecting that it would be as good as the original, but I thought it would be better than
Reloaded. More importantly, I thought that Monica Bellucci would get far more screen time in the third installment. No such luck. Criminal underuse of a gorgeous actress.
She's in
one scene. That's like having Babe Ruth on your baseball team and using him only as a pinch hitter.
