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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I am emailing scans of all the invoices I am having issues with to our head office and saying - fix this in the system - thanks. I think they hate me, but I have not had training and soem of these accounts are 2 months behind, so too bad.

I thought my commute last night was bad (45 minutes to go five miles), but it was nothing compared to the stories I'm hearing this morning. Two of my co-workers (twin sisters) drive together from 40 miles away, and it took them 5 1/2 hours to get home last night.

Holy shit. 5 1/2 hours trapped in a car, even with a sister, would SUCK.

Also, in other holy shit news, I was reading Time Magazine last night. Emily Flake had a comic, in color, in Time! No way!

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

Watching the traffic reports on the news last night made me feel better about my decision not to leave my apartment yesterday.

"I can't. I am too sick. I will be better in three minutes."

Oh, speaking of!! DH got the best holiday corporate gift ever today - a movie studio sent him CLOCKY!! Not that I've used an alarm clock since Dylan was born, but I'll make an exception for Clocky.
