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.

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

we're gonna have a disaster recovery guy here for three weeks, at the end of which we're going to have a 48 hour disaster recovery drill.

Three weeks from now sounds like the perfect time for a vacation. "Let me know how that whole drill thing works out, folks. I'll bring pictures back from Bermuda."

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

you spar with people all the time.

Never mind. I'm just not explaining myself well.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I get it, ita. And I had the same reaction to the heart soaps.

48 hour drill? Dude, even Jack Bauer sleeps after 24 hours.

See, I don't know when our disastrous guy is going to show up. I already had plans to be in California at the end of the month.

It'd probably look suspicious if I called in sick tomorrow. Bah.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I already had plans to be in California at the end of the month.

If they give you any shit, tell them you're on an errand of mercy for a poor crippled friend. Leave out the part about the road trip, the vids, and the drinking.

I just got spam saying that I won one million dollars in the UK Lottery. Uh-huh. I especially love the "dollars" bit.

And after Big Boss left, my boss just ambled over and told me that we're gonna have a disaster recovery guy here for three weeks, at the end of which we're going to have a 48 hour disaster recovery drill.

I think your being gone for 48 hours should constitute the disaster.
