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.

Yeah, I remember what it's about -- I just can't remember who this father is in my head!

Trust my rage

Sorry, I didn't get your question Jesse. I was thnking you might be expecting a bookstore movie and get something much different. I don't remember what the father did.

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

I don't think anything non-custom and structured will ever be very comfortable on my feet. They're awkward.

I listened to a Scottish actor talk dirt about other Scottish actors this weekend. I had to press her on David Tennant. She had no idea why I cared, but she had nothing bad to say. Whew.

My main issue with shoes is a wide & long toe base, and flues generally do that, so I can even wear their pointier toes. I've got comparatively narrow heels, which is extra fun. Put that all together and most of the pumps out there? Toe cleavage and slipping out of the heel when I walk.

I need to look into getting into the deregulation thing on electric. Think I could save money. Ack, more work.

Did you ask her about John Barrowman? I tend to think of him as American but I think the British think of him as Scottish.

Our wings are not tired.

The Haiti earthquake news is very upsetting. We have a very large Haitian population here, probably half of the kids in our high school. Most of my second family of kids (DH's basketball team) are Haitian. With communication pretty much totally down the families must be frantic.

Only pointy toes fit my feet right. Remember the snow boots? I ordered a pair, thought they were too small, re-bought in a bigger size? The bigger size is too big, but my big toe still hits the front. While my heels are swimming around. It's not too much of a problem with this particular boots, but it did really remind me that I need to stick to shoes that are pointy like my feet!

I have anti-Jesse feet, I think. I'm boxy, with a pointy heel.

Hmm. Sounds like the Fluevogs might work on my feet. But I don't need an expensive habit. I may just stick to ballet flats forever.

I'll see if I can work in a question about John Barrowman next time I see her. I need to not hear bad things about him. One of the other guys at the table would keep bringing up celebrities, and if he said something nice about someone, it was someone she knew and hated, and if he was talking trash, it as about a friend of hers. It was hysterical.

Tsutomu Yamaguchi died a few days ago. He was the only person the Japanese government officially acknowledged as having lived through the bombings at both Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He lived to 93.

My feet really are freakishly pointy.
