I'm here. I shouldn't be, I should be studying or grading, but I'm sick, so I'm here.
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.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I should be working.
Why would you want to do a thing like that? Aren't you moving to North Carolina next week anyway?

No. I am visiting North Carolina in two days, and shrift about a week after that, so I should be working to make up for the time I will be in other cities, dying of frostbite.

I am a tech writer. He's in logistics, which is one of those boring MBA-type things where people coordinate getting large amounts of things from one place to another.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Ann, that's a ferret.
I'm here. Busy enough to avoid total boredom, not too busy to keep up with the board.
