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.

Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Happy birthday, Sean!

CJ pitched today for the first time...evah. He struck out his first batter. He kept a smile on his face the whole inning. And he gave up a homerun.

But all in all, he LOVED the experience.

That's Emmett's take. Even a bad day pitching is pretty fun because you're pitching.

I feel like quoting all my Brock Sampson lines about Led Zeppelin.

"What's the matter, little man? Don't like Zep?"

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

The little league level CJ is at has a mercy rule for all but the last inning of either 3 outs ending an inning (as normal) or 5 runs. So, the worst a new pitcher can do is give up 5 runs...which CJ did. He did get 2 outs before the 5 runs, so it was not horrible.

He also made some great plays in the field and at bat, so a good game overall. His team is in second place, so they will make play offs. Wheeeeeeeee!

Because books.

Happy birthday, Sean!

tommy, I'm so sorry about Senor Sock. It's clear how much you loved him.

Yay on good baseball and Matilda welcoming you home with pulling up, Hec.

Sorry about the sunburn, vw, and the horrible brother-in-law, Laga, and the lack of Zep, Plei. All my Zep except for Houses of the Holy (I think) is on vinyl, or I'd send you some.

Massive skipping and skimming has ensued, so general hugs and vibes are going out to Bitches who want them or need them.

Thanks so much, Teppy, Laura, Cash, David, AmyLiz, and all my beloved Bitches.

Sometimes it's hard to remember what life was like before I found you wonderful people.

Okay, I better stop before I start waxing maudlin. Tears are already welling up in my eyes.

Happy birthday, Sean!

Tommyrot, I'm very sorry about Senor Sock.

vw, for the sunburn, run a tepid bath and throw a bunch of plain black tea in to the tub. (erm, in bags, unless you want to spend forever cleaning tealeaves out of the tub.) The tannins in the tea will help with the sunburn.

The big gothy-goth event I went to over the weekend was fantastic. But now I'm exhausted, and apparently I am HIGHLY allergic to some plant in Portland, because I am suffering the worst bout of allergies I have ever had. My head is filled with goo, and I want to cry.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

you know, if David had every said where in fremont he was...

But in other news, my cold seems to be out the door. Well, not gone, but I can now live a normal life with hacking cough. a very fucking annoying hacking cough, but I seem to have a more normal level of energy. Inhaler is my friend.

In interesting discoveries - I put down some coco bark in my garden . Yes it smells like chocolate and no I am not sure that is a good thing
