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.

Go archaeology! Choose archaeology! It's science and history and anthropology all rolled up in a big muddy ball!

I would love to go back to school and learn fashion design & clothing construction. Try to look surprised at this.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Hey, peeps! I am back from a week in Mom-land, where every single meal was shared with a different person I am related to (Mom, Uncle, Cousin, Other Cousin, Brother, Other Brother and kids, Much Older Second Cousin, etc.). I have done all my relative-ly duties for the entire year in one exhausting tour. Go me! I had to get up at 4 to make the plane and also got my period at the same time, so you can imagine how happy, chipper and alert I am right now! Woo hoo.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Okay, so share with the invisible people.

First I watched the finale of My Fair Brady. Then How I Met Your Mother. Now the amnesia Wonderfalls.

I have done all my relative-ly duties for the entire year in one exhausting tour.

Yay efficiency?

bon, I support you in referring to yourself as Mama. FYI.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

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

Next time some grumpy South Bayista with large cats or some pink New Yorker with wee fists starts making noise about being the nicest, just think about who here actually remembers your skeevy Gallo links and agrees with you about CB Chai, and then vote your conscience.

a) Funny how ita doesn't even make the list any more.

b) HEY! Not grumpy

(at least right now)

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I just tried durian candy. It was a combination of sweet, crunchy, coconut, and heinious. Not as bad as rotted shark, though.

If I only had a brain...

I'd like a formal degree in costume history. Not gonna happen.

I wonder what I should do with the rest of my day now?

I vote threesome.
