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.

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

I watch Britcoms and think "huh, these people look so normal ."

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

Darryl "Chill" Mitchell was in The Laroquette Show, Galaxy Quest, and a bunch of other shows/movies, before he was crippled in a motorcycle accident in 2001. Since then, he's appeared in the show Ed, and maybe one or two other episodes of other shows.

It's a shame. He was cool.

The worst pain I've probably had was my skull fracture, but the worst I've felt was from the stomach flu a couple of years ago. Not too much pain, but I literally had to take an hour nap when I foolishy tried to walk from one room to another.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh yeah, I forgot he was in the chair in real life.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

By stereotypical British standards, Tom Cruise is the disabled one.

He's an actor I'd love to see get more work, Perkins.

To make dill pickles?

Yep.

"Somewhere in this building is our talent." Toby Ziegler, my spirit animal

Yes, I could not play myself in my life story. Somehow people need to feel the actor could take the chair off, in some way I don't understand. I would want JJL to play me, anyway, though.

I read that as JLH and wanted to stage an intervention for you. But it's okay.

I pitched our department as a solution to a business unit this afternoon. And it worked. Which means -- I have to do the project. I need to bear that in mind when I'm pitching the woo.
