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.

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

Ow! The plastic spoon I'm eating my yoghurt with cut my lip. This is ecology exacting a price for me using disposables, isn't it?

Ugh, scrappy. Is it over now?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

So... the planet has begun to fight back.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

flea, that poor girl! I hope she's better today.

I was up all night with an evil stomach flu. Am home from work today and laying around like a lump.

Ick! Take it easy today and do some sort of evil-ridding rituals.

H₂0 in solid form is precipitating out of gaseous clouds suspended in the atmosphere.

Shut yo' mouth. I don't have any windows and prefer to live in ignorance.

My day thus far: up at 5:30, left at 6:15, arrived at work at 7:15. I will be here till 9 tonight for the Fine Arts Booster meeting. Yay?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Not QUITE over yet. I will psare you the details.

In exciting news, today is the first day we have a cleaning lady! We are having her twice a month for $50 per visit. SUCH luxury, OMG. I will be cutting back on haircuts and dying my own hair to pay for it, but it's so worth it. I love clean floors, but both the DH and I hate mopping, so it was a the one part of the house which was almost never really clean.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Feel better, Scrappy! And enjoy your cleaning lady!

It's almost 70 degrees here.

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

find a bike rack, sortable by zip codes!

Ooh, I so wanted a site like this to exist!

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

I'm brainstorming for this year's office white elephant gift exchange - I usually aim for something slightly geeky but not so much that nobody wants it. This year I'm thinking USB-powered mug warmer and a Starbucks gift card. Thoughts?

I think my hair is possessed. By a demon of greyness. And standing-upness (the ever-increasing greys are so ORNERY.)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I have the same problem, flea. Last week I found grey eyebrow hairs.

That's cool. I was gonna suggest USB Pet Rock, but at least the mug warmer does something....
