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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Downloading porn and thanking God every day for it.

Would it be crazy to buy a saltlick and plant it next to my downspout during the winter? (icing up, but not enough to fuck with my walls, but still.)

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

Stoll was a pretty accomplished hacker at that point, not a neophyte. Read charitably, it's not completely off base. He's not claiming the internet will fail, but that rosy-eyed futurists are expecting miracles from a system that does not totally replicate the human touch. It's not like it's something people don't say today.

I still love rereading Stoll's book The Cuckoo's Egg.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Okay. Canning is on its way. The SO`s fabulous salsa using our winter sunroom garden jalapenos is going under pressure. Whoo! Of course I`m not entirely thrilled that the SO did his part of the cooking timed unfortunately so I`m missing the end of Slovakia/Canada. But that`s okay! Go Slovakia.

Liese, they missed an open net goal. That's BAD.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I got to see the end after all while the canner was venting. That was CRAZY! I cannot believe it was that close. Demitra got two big opportunities there at the end. Well, they can still medal, and I think against the Finns they will. But sheesh! This Olympics is all exciting all the time.

Seriously, Sue. It was unbelievable.
