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.

Tastes better ice cold, is the only reason I did.

Yeah, me too.

And in my old apartment, I kept as much stuff as possible in the fridge/freezer, due to lack of space + vermin.

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

My freezer is fairly empty. A bag and a half of chopped spinach, a couple of microwavable meals, a bag of coffee and ice trays that probably need to be filled.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Plus Vodka is the traditional drink of those living in far Northern latitudes, so the ice-cold Vodka reminds you of the frozen tundra, ice weasels, etc....

Yes, it cools my blood and soothes the otherwise extremely frustrated ice weasel hunters lurking about in my DNA (I wanted to say mitochondria there, but my mitochondria is more southerly, alas)

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

I used to store my vodka in the freezer, but I swapped it out to store more food. Now I just stash it in there overnight if I'm throwing a party.

My neighbors keep their martini glasses in the freezer, which I would also totally do if I had a bigger freezer. They make fantastic martinis.

Right now I have about 6 lbs of chicken breasts (divided), 1 parbaked baguette, chopped spinach, peas, broccoli, probably a banana or two, french fries, various half-packages of sausages, and some latkes.

You only can walk in NY? I guess I must be doing it wrong. Perhaps I'm not walking pretentiously enough.

Would vodka be good after 17 years unopened? I was given a bottle back when I left my old job in November 1992, and never did open it. I have moved it from apartment to apartment, and probably should toss it if it's no longer any good.

I don't see how vodka could possibly go bad. It's alcohol and water.

And if you're in doubt, Mythbusters proved you can pour it through a few filters to improve it.

Or you can use it to treat foot odors.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

There was an actual Paleolithic Prescription book published a few years ago, written by actual paleoanthropologists who have studied up on diet and general lifestyle. It really turns out to be, duh, high in fiber, low in fat, low in sweets, with plants contributing like 80% of calories. Oh, and walking/running a whole lot.

Not exactly what the paleo-hipsters are shooting for, you know?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Our freezer has: One package of cod filets, one large bag of Empire chicken breasts(with rib meat), several packages of leftover cooked chicken leg quarters, a couple of freezer bags with lunch meat, four ice cube trays, a bag of whole grain bagels and an ancient block of margarine.
