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.

Coding and Sleeping

Hey, cool, 2002 Chevy Malibu (current car) got best entry mid-sized. That's good to know.

I have a 2002 Ford Windstar and was sort of surprised that it got best Minivan. Ours hasn't been a problem (except for a power steering pump that was replaced under warrenty), but I was still surprised.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't know how I can teach tonight. But I really want to!

I'm picturing Debbie Allen in Fame. Without the cane.

Well, I use people-meds. (I just love the look on a new pharm's face when I explain I can't put it on my insurance, and no, I don't need to apply for aid, it's for my cat.)

I just have to do the research.

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

I'm picturing Debbie Allen in Fame. Without the cane.

Clutching my stomach instead?

It's a thought.

Ooooh. So, so jealous.

It should be fun, right? With all the new talk show giveaway stuff Mizrahi-style! I think I'll go even if I can't find someone who can go with me in the middle of a work day.

Crazy-driving uncle could probably tell you all the back routes to Austin....

I go ho...I mean to the stores, now.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

My father-in-law just called to tell us he thinks we should evacuate.

If we do stay, I don't actually think the hurricane's going to be the source of most stress.

I'm in a "make the bad weather stop, mommy!" place, but I'm high on allergy medication, I probably need to eat something, and work is kicking my ass.

We're in a townhouse that's smack in the middle of a group, so we're fairly sheltered.

This is true.
