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 MSBELLE! You can do it! GO YOU GO YOU GO YOU GO YOU!

That's pretty excellent, JZ.

There was a guy in my class today who worked as a set dresser for Alias for 4 years and then WW. He has the coolest job ever. I have job envy now.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

But how in gods names do you make a consciousness out of the air?

Mostly you use brain cells. There's still a ghost in the machine issue though.

Until you read Oliver Sacks and realize that continuity of consciousness is largely an illusion your brain maintains to keep you from freaking out.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The Wall Street Journal published an article about my high school, and its reincorporation as a charter school.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Men also appear more prone to use violence in seeking revenge while "women tend to view murder as a last resort," he said.

I don't know about that last as stated. Women tend to kill fewer people personally, but if we factor in the women who insigate killings by their boyfriends/hired thugs I suspect the number that view murder as something other than a last resort would even out.

If I only had a brain...

Women tend to kill fewer people personally, but if we factor in the women who insigate killings by their boyfriends/hired thugs I suspect the number that view murder as something other than a last resort would even out.

But what about all the men who instigate killings by hired thugs? You have to compare two comparable quantities:

men who murder + men who hire murderers vs. women who murder + women who hire murderers.
