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.

Okay, that makes a certain amount of sense.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I turned on the (rerun?) of the Best Dance Crew audition show, and the midwest bracket was ROUGH, conceptually/theoretically/stereotypically. There were three teams: one with a deaf guy, one mostly-black group dressed like bums (on purpose), and one mostly-white group with popped collars and jackets on. Who goes home?? The dressed-like-bums team, as it turns out.

Jesse,

man, I felt bad for the team who was booed when it was announced they were going home. I'm like damn - but I kind of agreed with the booers. That was not the best team.

But they already got sent home! No need to boo.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

sloppy writing on my part...

there was a part in the broadcast where they were booing the team who wasn't sent home. The audience CLEARLY disagreed with the judges' decision.

I felt sorry for that team, but I agreed with the audience. They were surly, but they were right.

Ah -- I heard some booing a couple of times, but wasn't really paying enough attention to really get what was going on.

Because books.

Why is Robert Irvine on NFNS? They took him off Dinner: Impossible, yes? Seems odd they'd ask him to be a guest.
