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.

Oh, yeah, TLIYL is a total sucker punch for me, both of memories and meaning. I had cognative dissonance when I heard it sung at a waaay conservative location (jesus, I don't want to get into how unwelcome I felt just by signs alone) in Waco and cheered, but was prompted to recall it can hold a lot more interpretations than Guthrie intended. Which both irritated me and made me hold a little hope. It's a damned protest song that all those die-hard conservative-hating-my-peoples Texans were embracing. Now that's true subversion!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

As I was walkin' - I saw a sign there
And that sign said - no tress passin'
But on the other side .... it didn't say nothin!
Now that side was made for you and me!

Ah Woody...

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

HAWT FLOOR. What finish did you use?

diamond varathane water based poly satin finish

in this area a coat dries in about an hours --might take 2 up in your area. Matt used the gloss on guitars --- very shiny.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

It takes a couple hours with the heat cranked, at least, as I recall from when my in-laws have done their floors.

When/if we refinish the floors upstairs, I'm still wedded to using Osmo Hardwax Oil. LOVE the stuff.

Beth, that was UH MAY ZING

I'm finally watching the closing ceremonies. Turns out the Lopez siblings all medaled. You'd think NBC might have shown us a little Tae Kwon Do what with the Visa ads and all.

Plei, you must have gotten home all of five minutes before you started posting. Craxy, I think.

My one true Olympics crush. I was shameless. Books, posters, recordings, the whole deal.

Understandable, ita. Daley Thompson rocked.
