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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

In Crazy Town, perhaps.

That sounds about right.

God, I am in the stage of a project (any project, as you'll recall from my move) that I hate the MOST: Mostly done, a lot of bullshit yet to do.

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

I'm used to it being pronounced "bowm chicka bowm bowm." The thing with the chickens and the cows is just weird.

PC, it's too late for you. You've already caught it and are terminal.

Actually, I've come to regard all coughing people as germbags who should all go home. Except I get a cough after eating a meal, so I sound like a germbag at least once a day at work.

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

My boss and I just watched the shuttle launch. Nice to take a little break like that....

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Oh, balls. The guy in the cube next to me had swine flu and he keeps coughing and sneezing. How contagious is it? Should I wear a mask?

Keep washing your hands and don't french kiss him and you should be fine. No need for a mask.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

PC, it's too late for you. You've already caught it and are terminal.

Dammit!

I have no plans to French kiss him. Good deal.

Sorry, P-C...

...can I have your stuff?

JZ and Matilda will come over and pack it up in boxes for you.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

If I gave you (hypothetical you) guidelines for a web banner that said "two-frame animated gif", would you then provide me with a three-frame gif? WOULD YOU?

Maybe the frames are numbered 0,1,2. You should check.

Lunchtime! Whee!

I've given you 50% more than you asked for. I'm overdelivering!
