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.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Virgil was the Octavian-publicist version of Homer. He's all about the "Well, okay, the Greeks were wicked cool, but we're, you know, we ARE Greeks, only way more evolved and cooler and god-ordained. Like, we even have more to the story that the Greeks thought ended with Odysseus in Ithaka."

Basically, Virgil was Karl Rove, and the Aeneid was his campaign commercial.

I think Wedding Crashers might be on my list for this week some time, like if I need to chill and remind myself that my life isn't entirely broken yet.

Also, the strassbourg sock? NOT WORKING. I think I need to buy a night splint. (not related, clearly).

So I guess it's just the Beetle then.

You know, I wondered why the new convertibles didn't have the flap. The flap makes the lines of the car much prettier.

Now I think I know why they did away with them.

I can get you a t-shirt that says "I visited the mother ship".

hee. I SO need one of those. I've become a craxxy mac cult-ish person. In a really short amount of time.

That's an interesting sock, there, missy.

I have an intermittent sharp pain at the big knuckle of the big toe of my right foot which is exacerbated by any shoes at all. It's quite annoying.
