Clean the room you spend more time in.
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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Altogether, or while I'm awake?

Art Crawl!!!
I walked all over town - pharmacy, post office, landlord's office, and treated myself with a trip to the yarn store where they were having a Super Bowl sale! 30% off everything.
I bought what I need to make that baby sweater for my friend's baby (not born yet) and staggered home. (Damn, I'm weak.) I think I tired my muscles trudging through snow drifts yesterday. Maybe this was actually good for me.
The bad news: I still need to buy groceries and I left the pattern for the baby sweater at the yarn store so I must go back.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Yay yarn, boo having to re-play the level.

Sox or sarameg, if you're around, did you hear that WYPR has fired Steiner??? It's shocking!
I know! It's so wrong. I was really bugged in the sun article about how now they've expanded to OC and Fredrick, that there was too much a Baltimore focus. Fucking hell, it's the only decent media outlet that does cover the city. And Steiner is like...an institution. They are so dumb.
Death-glare in your head at Brandon for me, Sox.
I do wonder at the fallout.
(and I really don't like the host of Maryland Morning. She's a terrible interviewer.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The Worst Building in the History of Mankind
It's the Ryugyong Hotel in North Korea, where the world's 22nd largest skyscraper has been vacant for two decades and is likely to stay that way ... forever.
A picture doesn't lie -- the one-hundred-and-five-story Ryugyong Hotel is hideous, dominating the Pyongyang skyline like some twisted North Korean version of Cinderella's castle. Not that you would be able to tell from the official government photos of the North Korean capital -- the hotel is such an eyesore, the Communist regime routinely covers it up, airbrushing it to make it look like it's open -- or Photoshopping or cropping it out of pictures completely.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
ita? did you send me something?
Sophia, I hope you do not have my nasty cold/sinus hell, although I do seem to be completely over it now.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Damn that hotel's big. And ugly.
My eyes just got suddenly and unaccountably very red and irritated.
I think I got eye cancer.
Probably from bon.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Who'd have guessed that a river with 8 inches of ice on top would be so fucking cold?
We got to do the plunge--and it wasn't that bad--at least it was over fast.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
So you're saying that it was fucking cold? Really?
