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.

F2F5: I forget that everyone isn't us

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

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

2 things I know LA does better than NYC - Mexican food and sushi. So I want to eat at least one of those while I'm there, if not both.

The status is NOT quo.

And honestly, Pasadena is about 15 minutes from the Safari. Really not far.

I don't even know where to start with Mexican food recs! Poquito Mas is right near the Safari and yum yum yum.

I will go wherever the buffistas are on whatever time and day. And if I don't manage to squeeze it into my day tomorrow like planned, may want to join the Saturday morning pedicure plan, if it's after 930 when my fligh gets in!

I have to be at my hair appt at 1, so I was planning to do mani/pedi around 11. It's this tiny little hole-in-the-wall of a nail place, and I can't say they do the best job evah or anything, but the price is right (around $20 for a spa mani/pedi combo). The woman who does waxing has done a great job on my eyebrows every time I've gone, too.

Coffee:

Aims, I can pick you up at the Sheraton. Shouldn't be a problem. Chez Nous is great for breakfast/brunch, but might be crowded. Should be okay, though. Maybe we could plan to meet around 9:30am that morning? Or is that too early? I'll bow out and do breakfast on my own if so and meet up with mani/pedi people later. Probably easiest to meet at our house and then just walk over to the nail place at 11. It's two blocks away.
