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 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

On the way back from Paragould today I saw what may be the poorest taste advertisement ever to appear on a billboard: the phrase "Jesus loves you this much," over a background image of the crucifixion positioned so that the outstretched arms illustrate the point.

I didn't know whether I should be appalled or bust out laughing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I need someone to inspire me to get to the pharmacy. I need more antihistamines, plus to fill a prescription. I just feel like so much shit.

Art Crawl!!!

Matt - I laughed.

But - I'm not actually a Christian.

Also, I feel so much better now that I have allergy meds in my system. Too bad they don't do anything for the sore tooth.

And I spent another Saturday afternoon at the library reading.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

He registered through a voting drive

And he didn't receive a voter registration card in the mail afterwards? That's odd. Perhaps he should check that he is indeed actually registered where he thinks he is, and get a replacement card if need be.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

I just feel like so much shit.

Will getting the prescription and antihistamines help you to feel marginally less like shit? That's usually the only way I can motivate myself for a pharmacy run.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

My ballot has arrived! This vote-by-mail thing is exciting.

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

I'm on an iPhone and lacking copy-paste at the moment, but anyone who hasn't seen it yet should google "alex Ross Obama" and check out the t-shirt/poster. It's pretty damn cool.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I saw that yesterday, Jess, and it is COOL!

Now tagless for your comfort.

I finally got around to ordering our Halloween costumes. Batman for Owen, Robin for Liv and Catwoman (basically the mask & gloves which I will wear with a black turtleneck and yoga pants) for me.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I've been home for about 2 hours. I've had a cat curled up in my lap for a little over an hour. I think Gilda missed me.

Eventually I need to get up to take a decongestant and see where Rosie is.
