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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm not saying sparkling red is always too sweet! Just that once!

Sox, I don't know. Do you have more beans?

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".

Happy Birthday, msbelle!

ND, there is so much truth in what you said about work. Thanks. I needed to hear that more that you know.

I have seen a glimmer at the end of the tunnel with my job. There are several leads on opportunities and a fairly sure thing...if I wait 2 years for it to all come together. Can I do 2 more years with the Draconian Dictator?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Interesting op-ed piece about misogyny in America from the NYT: [link]

I love Bob Herbert- so much so I nearly called him Bob Hebert, who I also love but for something completely different.

Because books.

You think Lois from Malcolm in the Middle is hardcore?

Dude. That's ... maternal dedication. Or something a little crazier.

So Dev was looking particularly puffy and I was worried she was getting sick again.

Um, it was 58 inside. I accidentally turned the heat down way low when I left this am. She's puffy because it is freaking chilly inside. No wonder my hands hurt.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I'm stunned by Matt's link.

Brad Renfro is dead.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

So the roomba is really an instrument in the cats' world domination plan?

I see their "ooh ooh I'm so scared" act is taking some of you in? Sneaky bastards. (Cats can't read right?)

oh, I forgot - it snowed here for 3 hours! Real fluffy snow that didn't stick on the streets! I forgot how this went up north. It's supposed to snow three times this week.

I think it snowed twice last year in Baltimore - once a lot, and the city didn't plow, so Fells Point was talking about secession and blockading the harbor - but we're like that. Up here, there's a lot more snow and resignation.

(Not my white bean chili... which I'm avoiding by hiding on the board)

I'm stunned by Matt's link.
