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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Actually, David... She died today from her infection. The elevator is a little behind.

No, I'm just behind in reporting the elevator's reportage. It is only 20 minutes behind (it assures me).

Poor Miss Brazil.

She must have been Miss America at some critical age for my cohort, because almost everyone my age knows her name. I mean, aside from it being an awesome name.

I got a slow start on the day, but I've been productive. Called T-Mobile and got a data package added to my G1, and have been playing with the settings. Cleaned the bathroom. Did laundry and the dishes. Paid bills.

I decided to make chili for dinner since it's very cold outside. I just cut my finger on the can of kidney beans. It hurts.

This is the sixth band-aid I've used in the last five hours. I think the universe is telling me to go back to bed.

Bubble wrap?

I've has Loki sleeping curled up against me since 6. He doesn't tuck as easily inside my fleece these days. I suspect he'll be up all night. But then ALL the cats have been passed out most of the evening.

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

I'm watching Miami Vice and Colin Farrell is the cutest little button!

Colin Farrell is the cutest little button!

Does he look in need of a bath, as usual?

He took a shower onscreen!
