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.

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

I'm having rooibos (ROOIBOS!) tea and banana bread. I have no idea where the space is coming from.

I was just talking about bulgogi today. I need to try it.

I wish all sorts of calming thoughts to people with raw 9/11 memories.

For the bulgogi (since you asked), I bought $50 worth of flank steak (err, maybe 6 lbs?). Then I crushed 2 heads of garlic (about 20 cloves) and mixed them with 20 slices of fresh ginger, 12 oz of soy sauce, 4 oz of vegetable oil, and a mess of green onions. And then I let the flank steak soak in it for about 20 hours.

Possibly there was a bit too much soy sauce in it -- it was a tad salty. But really, very yum.

He just left - and I like him a lot - but anyone that brings wine everytime he comes by - gets a bonus point ( or 73 ) in my book.

Yeah, he's apparently bringing lots of wine home these days. I told him he knew where I live if he needs a home for any of the spares.

Skipping lots to post that, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is Trudy Booth's birthday. I hope that despite the difficult date, it will still be a good day for you, Trudy, and a great year to come.

SA! You're in Ireland already, right? I'm so out of the loop - how is everything going?

StolenCubicle, I've never posted with you before (which may be all because of my skipping tendencies), so welcome aboard.
