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.

Yeah, Sophia, since you're still in the area, swinging by couldn't hurt.

Allyson! You're famous!

Dude, Allyson's been famous for years. Now she's An Author!!

Trader Joe's frozen fried rice for lunch. Verdict: eh. At least it's cheaper and less nasty than the take-out on the corner, which I occasionally have a craving for.

I really need to go to the post office, and I really really don't want to. I hate my post office!

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 don't feel famous!

You know I just sent that to my mom and dad. And half my office.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Could you call your old landlord about it at least?

Actually, the house was sold, so there is a new owner in the bottom, and a new tenant up top. So, no numbers. I also left the apartment really badly due to not finding out before I even started cleaning that they were keeping my security deposit. So, a little embarrassed.

But I will probably swing by. If they left it today, it is probably sitting on the porch, because it is that kind of neighborhood. Of course, then I will be arrested for stealing my phone!

Yay!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, I just made an appointment to spend basically all of my graduation gift money on a massage and body wrap. That's OK, right? It seems so frivolous, and yet just exactly what I need.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

That's OK, right? It seems so frivolous, and yet just exactly what I need.

Of course it is. You're taking care of yourself, and you're using extra money to do it. It's not frivolous if it will make you feel better/relax you/etc.

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

Jesse, it sounds like an excellent plan.

Sophia, if it is addressed to you, all should be ok.

I'm definitely looking forward to it. It's a place that's convenient to get to, well-reviewed, and not super-expensive. I just hope the massage person is strong.

Ann, that's a ferret.

The Cantankerous Cardinal is back. He's not just attacking the windows, he's scolding madly.

Cats like to sit on windowsills. IJS.
