Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

There's a townhouse in my neighborhood that's on sale with an asking price of $20 million.

[EDIT: $20M not $30M: [link] ]

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Happy happy Birthday to Betsy--fabulous cook, snarky raconteur, poster of cool links, incisive thinker, lover of flowers, and all round enjoyable Buffista!

He's busy.

Well, drat. I will interrupt my self-drowning for a pout.

OK, 'bout done with that.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

What $650K get you in New Orleans

On Milne? Seriously? Huh.

The zip code I work in has everything from $5K (ok, so those are the ones that are boarded up and probably don't have a roof) to $1.5 million. It's an old neighborhood.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, right, I had a question.

Guy e-mailed me and wants me to quote an hourly rate for a contract job. Do I just quote the rate (which I'm pretty attached to), or do I bother justifying it with my years of experience and my soon-to-be graduate degree?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Just quote it.
