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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I need to remember to go to bed before 11 if I'm waking up at 5:15.

This is what I've been saying all summer. Except about getting up at 7. I loooove sleep.

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

now I want a calzone for lunch.

Fortunately, I know where I can get one.

Good thing, because calzones are just so hard to find in mid-town Manhattan.

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

I loooove sleep.

A friend is so short and has such a big car she can lie down in her back seat and sleep uncurled.

I'm 5'8 and drive a Jetta. It's different for me, but I'm sure gonna be all bendy at lunchtime anyway.

I love ... well, not sleep, so much as falling asleep. I'd happily take it all in naps if I were sure I'd be able to fall asleep properly each time.

Remember when that was the funniest thing ever?

Yeah! Back when Smallville was still gay!

I think I need food.

I have falling-asleep issues. Hence the lack of enough sleep on waking-up-early days. I can get into a 10 o'clock bedtime routine (to be asleep 11-ish), but not if I only need to do it two nights a week.

Hey, I know gmail invites were all the rage at one point, but I think I finally need one. Anybody still have one (or a billion)? Profile email is good.

Giving up my old ISP soon, is all, and I can only handle so many Yahoo emails (i.e., one).

In other news, I am editing commentary about pop culture issues, and finding appalling gaps in the author's knowledge. Soon, there will be lunch.

You're just in time -- I think it's a free for all now.

(I can't get to the site from work to check)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Rumor is that Gmail's about to go invite-free, but I sent you one anyway.

Now tagless for your comfort.

ita, I don't remember--were you the one searching for non-fumey ways to clean your shower? Because I recently discovered the magic eraser for cleaning our tub & shower. They just use water and iit takes out soap scum like it was NOTHING. For once, they advertise correctly. It IS magic.

Huh. That's really cool, Cashmere. For a not clean-freak person, I have an obsession with finding just the right products.

Aha! It's ^H that makes Opera disappear. It goes into the notification area and disappears from the main window and the taskbar. That'll be handy for hiding.
