A bit of a wait to load, but awesome time lapse of a San Francisco day.
We're a magical city that floats in the clouds and then turns into constellations of light.
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.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
Man, I so wish I could IM while grading. This is BORING.
This is so true!

All you teachers need to do what my parents did: make your kids grade papers for you! Of course, this only worked because for mom, she was teaching first or second grade when I was in my teens. With dad, it gets a little more iffy because I was grading college students starting in my very early teens. However, just his 101 classes and I knew most of it by osmosis. (Still can't believe he let me!)

All the catfood I have that I can't feed my cats any longer is coming in handy in feeding my neighbor's cat. (Miss Louise, or more properly, her granddaughter who is staying with her/living there/I don't know, has a cat.) Their budget is really tight and she wasn't able to get more food tonight. So I gave away some more that was tucked into the back of the cabinet. I'd meant to drop it at a shelter, but this is as good a cause as any.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh yay! I just got an email that a friend of mine had her baby at 4pm today. I was literally just wondering about them this afternoon, so she must have been in labor right then! Eight pounds, born at home, named Zoe. Yay baby!

Wow, Jesse! I like the name...
Man, it sometimes hits me that birthing babies is now a regular event in my circles of friends. And how that's..well, expected at this age, but gee, I'm that age!

I feel good that I have a little gift all ready for when they are ready for visitors! Although I already know that his family was planning on arriving en masse ASAP, which was not cool with her, so I'm sure it'll be a couple/three weeks, if not more.

Jesse, you'll have to check with her, of course, but it has been my experience that even with the influx of slightly-unwanted visitors, sometimes especially!, a welcome visitor is really really welcome. Even more so if you are the no-demands-does-stuff visitor (even if it is just hold the baby so they can sleep.)

The status is NOT quo.
