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.

I am a human shaped ice cube.

With a hunger headache because I didn't get to eat until 10 minutes ago.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I had an empanada and black bean soup for lunch. Since I've been in such a shitty mood lately, I think I'm going to get a big cookie from starbucks.

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

I Foreman-grilled myself a roast beef & cheddar sandwich. Yay for cheap lunch!

I don't know what I want for lunch yet. Maybe I'll go downstairs and wander.

I have just been adjusted for the first time. Now I am about to sucked in by the Chiropractic mafia.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I had the cuban sandwich. It was delish, although I kind of wish I had gotten my usual ropa vieja.

I "worked from home" this morning, so I made myself pasta with artichoke hearts and leftover salmon

My lunch today has been 1 hard-boiled egg, my daughter's leftover sandwich from yesterday which was one piece of Pepperidge Farm German Dark Wheat bread and 4 slices of salami, and a plain baked potato.

I have had more interesting lunches in my life, I tell you what. But, you know, stuff was in the fridge.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

The perception that stray cats can survive just fine on their own, whereas stray dogs will Wreak Havoc, is also part of it, I think.

I think there's some merit to that thinking. The circumstances under which I would be fearful of my safety due to a stray housecat would either involve Byzantine worst-case scenarios or a shrinking ray. Poorly socialized stray chow or rotweiller, not so much.
