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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I'm home! Did you miss me?

But I swear I never saw a Tim Horton's in Vancouver.

There is one in the airport, and I know I saw others.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The first time my mother called today, she left a message saying "I hear you guys had an earthquake!"

The second time was to tell me they'd just had one.

If there's an earthquake in South London, I apologise to everyone affected on behalf of my accursed family.

I have too much stuff waiting for me on my tivo. I think I may be too tired to do the Inside justice right now. What else was good last week/this weekend?

Too funny. I think they felt it more than we did ours.

When I called my mother back the first time, I told her nothing was damaged, but I Was worried about my alcohol -- she sympathised because she'd lost rum in the last earthquake.

My father was all "5.6, that's not much of a quake" and explaining that the big one might be coming and LA would disappear. I pointed out that Jamaica had already lost most of a city to a quake, so he wasn't that safe ... so perhaps it was my fault. I needed to get a seismic "I told you so" leveraged at my father.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

ita, stop causing earthquakes please.

Did anyone see Mr. and Mrs. Smith? Lori, Polgara and I just went and holy mother of god. I think Brad Pitt needs to do a series of comic roles because I love him when he brings in the funny.

And.... there was the bonus appearance of Adam Brody who I had forgotten was running around last summer saying he was working on a movie with Brad Pitt. I just hadn't realized it was THIS movie.

Your tag here.

I saw Mr. and Mrs. Smith and I agree. Very funny, many laugh out moments. The pacing was off in parts, and I think the movie coulda been a bit shorter, but all-in-all much better than I expected.

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

Pitt and Brody together? Comedy gold. Pitt, unlike lots of actors, is even sexier when he does funny. It's nice.
