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 just ate some canned pineapple, which was NOT the excellent dessert called for by Nilly.

msbelle, there are a ton of pictures of Jayne hats online, including ones people knit themselves, probably leading to patterns. But how would a hat work on a iPod?

I've been better

{{Gud}} I hope you'll be better, again, and soon. You deserve it, for sure.

Now her favorite is science

So she's going to be the one who ends up building the time machine?

fake food

Oh, and in the brunch in NYC, people began naming the fake foods. The fake bacon was 'facon', the fake milk was 'filk', and my sieve doesn't hold anything else in its holes.

[Edit: heh, cereal. Wait, no, not cereal - dessert!]

Also time is flowing faster.

Yeah, I've noticed that, too. Is any of your kids old enough to attend the prayers with you, at least partially?

Also, good luck with the interviews.

Quick, anyone got a Jayne hat pic?

Anne has a pattern that she already used, and it turned out really well. She even gave me one as a present. Of course, now I want to go yarn-shopping with you.

Heh. That reminds me of when I was a vegetarian who spent a fair amount of time with other vegetarians. We'd get faux-sage and scream (soy ice cream).

ETA: Not together.

Thrive to spite them

The woman who made the Jayne Hat iPod cozy said she'd post the patter on the lj comm knitting, but so far it hasn't shown up. The cozy had ear flaps and everything.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Nilly, next visit we will go yarn shopping.

Those patterns will not help me with an iPod hat. I will only need a teeny amount of yarn. Perhaps it can be an entire sleeve with the hat on top.

Visilurking

Unfortunately I've had to waste a lot of my work hours doing things like working, and my after-work hours on family and job-searching so the Buffistas have taken somewhat of a backseat recently, although I still like to lurk and skim. While I'm here though, I want to take this opportunity to blantantly rip off Nilly's post ( Nilly "Natter 39 and Holding" Oct 8, 2005 11:42:03 pm PDT ) and ask Mechila (forgiveness) of anyone I may have hurt or offended, whether by my words, or actions, or inactions. And, I forgive anyone who may have done the same to me (not that I can recall a single person or incident that would need forgiveness.) G'mar Chatima Tova! (Which I think translates to, may you all be finalized and sealed for good but is a really good sentiment, I promise. It's so much clunkier in English.)

Interesting article on Dark Matter

It sounds like that the calculations on the behavior of galaxies that suggested a greater mass were Newtonian, not based on General Relativity.

That's just the best name ever for such a product.

Wolfram, I just had to try and explain this to a foreign student here. It was just as clunky and strange. And, of course, the same for you and all your family.
