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.

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

I first read this as "US Open Series Porno Out-takes." Which admitedly left me curious....

It totally shows how much LJ guy is not One Of Us that he's annoyed by b.org because we go off topic all the time.

Well, yeah. I mean, Hell yeah!

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

DH and I used Moo cards for D's birth announcement and we were really pleased with the quality. I just wish they were cheaper so we could have afforded to send out more.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, I just had the craziest meeting. Well, not "just" -- it was my noon meeting, not my 1pm. But still. The Big Boss looked at a chart I've prepared -- prepared last fall -- and was like, WTF? I was all, Um... It's this? Because that's what I thought it was supposed to be? She was like, This is bananas. It should be something completely different. Ummmmm.

Christ. And I just heard my boss shrieking about it from half-way across the office, so I really hope Big Boss wasn't in her office with the door open!

Oy fucking vey.

Some anecdotes about Karl Rove that are interesting and illuminating: [link]

Two me, the second one was particularly illustrative.

Dick Armey quote:

...can you imagine refusing a simple request like that with an insult? It's stupid. From the point of view of your own self-interest, it's stupid.

ALSO! Do I have to respond to an email that I just got (unrelated to earlier meetings) that said, "I was just wondering when you'd get that stuff to me!" The last email I sent her said "I will get that to you by COB on Wednesday." What the fuck time does she think COB is?

I need that massage.

Always Anti-fascist!

My favorite Karl Rove story was just on Countdown(that likes carrots) Apparently, back in the day, KR asked Margaret Stallings, now Sec. of Ed. for a date. She said no. The reporter asked her why and she said: "Have you ever met Karl Rove?"

Thrive to spite them

from tommyrot's link, Amey quotes Bush as saying:

'It would probably wind up on eBay,'"

Which is about the same thing he said when he was giving out some kind of token to the families of dead soldiers. Except I think he told the families "Don't sell this on eBay." The man is an insensitive prick.

Ha. I am especially amused because my mentor is now dating a man that she went to law school with, who asked her out back in 1966 and she turned down.
