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.

What is even happening?

No, it involves saying things like, "It's only $89.00," despite the fact that I'm not sure I have enough cash on me to buy a gallon of milk.

Milk is a significant budget item with multiple kids.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Colbert Machinima

After challenging viewers to make him a Jedi hero, Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert described "an actual dream" of his. It featured a squadron of Nancy Pelosi clones, Soledad O'Brien in a gold bikini, and Karl Rove's sail barge. Silver & Goldie Goodman recreated Stephen's dream, bringing his fighting spirit to a new level of super heroism.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"OMG!!! ALL my documents are GONE!!! You have to help me!!! I clicked on Current Fiscal Year and there's nothing there!!!"

Heh. We had some of that here (with less panicking), too.

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

I don't like users.

Which is probably no surprise since right now I don't like anyone.

But I really like dragonflies.

I also have not had a snack this morning, and I don't remember the point of skipping it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Anyone seen the MTV reality show MIss Seventeen ?

BRIANNE Burrows - the contestant on the MTV reality show "Miss Seventeen" who didn't win the on-air contest but was invited to intern at the mag by editrix Atoosa Rubenstein - claims she was traumatized by the temperamental editor. Burrows says her three-month internship under "Atoosa the Hun" was "emotionally taxing. When [former staff editor] Beau Quillian resigned, Atoosa blamed me for leaking the story about staff departures to gossip columns.

move out and draw fire

In some places, you can combine dragonflies and snacks.

Problem with the snack skippage is that I now want to go and have steak for lunch, instead of my standard soup. And I'll also have to have lunch before my nap, not after.

Hell, I might go buy it now.

The above link discusses some conspiracy theories about how the war might begin....
