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.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Just checked with HR on the number of vacation days I have left for the year. I thought I had 2. Turns out I have 5 1/2. Coolness! I also have 1 1/2 personal days. Woot!

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

Maybe we could meet for breakfasty things?

Like on the 3rd?

Ah, I'm being foolish; maybe it's an "I don't like Feta" thing.

or maybe it's a "shit! I don't have any feta! What else is in the fridge"

"shit! I don't have any feta! What else is in the fridge"

Then the answer is "whatever you have in the fridge."

CHICKEN AND WAFFLES!!!

And Perkins has now heard the "Roscoe's Rap" - which is one of the more enjoyable things I own on vinyl.

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

I did! And JZ pointed out that there was a chicken and waffle place in Oakland, and I just looked it up, and it is a Roscoe's. We need to go.

Thrive to spite them

Typo Boy -- It's an "I don't like feta" thing. I'm not really sure how I feel about goat cheese either, I haven't really eaten it much.

Oh, I have tons of vacation left, and a floating holiday, but it's really mostly because I don't think I've submitted a time sheet in six months. Oops.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I'm trying to find cheap tix to go home for my mom's 50th. I really wanted her to come here, but it looks like she's wiggled out of it.

But this means spending xmas alone, too. And that always makes me blue.

ETA: Which isn't a desperate request to spend an awkward holiday with anyone's family.
