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.

“Not dead yet!”

The women playing the four main characters in Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood at the older and younger ages managed to get eight different accents, not one of which sounded right.

No kidding. I found it interesting that the one who came closest was Fionulla Flanagan, who's Irish.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Sandra Bullock's wasn't awful, but it was Texanish which is more NW Louisiana.

Steel Magnolias had a similar problem. I love watching Olympia Dukakis, but her accent really didn't work.

Yeah, but with her you could at least argue that it had been tempered/mangled by all her years in New York. The others didn't really have an excuse.

The very worst one, though, was Dylan McDermott. I still cringe every time he whines, "C'mon, Shelby, say you'll marry me."

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Ok, y'all I need some hivemind advice. I conked my head around 2pm today (slammed my forehead into the freeze door handle as I was standing up from cleaning the fridge), have a good 2 inch mark on my forehead and now I have a fever of 100.6. What is a worrisome temp for an adult? I'm afraid to google.

At least Steel Magnolias was set in Natchitoches. That's more of a general southern than south Louisiana that always gets mangled.

100 sounds a little high to me, but my temp runs a little low.

I tend to run low too.

Is the mark a cut? That could be an infection.

Mostly just a mark. There was a bit of blood at first, but it isn't a gash or anything. Just sore as hell. Crying hurts. Never realized how much you use your forehead when you cry.
