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.

What festivity and good-attitude-ness, megan! You would be an asset to any team.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

mac seems to be in a good mood, but still will not give up the goods. Also the babysitter from yesterday did not feel up to us today and will now be giving up her Monday to the other babysitter. I am assured she is not bailing altogether, but was just overwhelmed.

Boss just said he's going to fight for my conversion from contract to permanent because of the good work I've done.

Yay!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Oh dear msbelle. I hope the new sitter finds her bearing soon.

I have a lot of leaf-green in my wardrobe. Some of it is more verging on limey. I want more of the leafy/grassy. I am wearing kelly today.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Oh good news, ita.

I'm on the last year of my temporary position at my job, and they still haven't done anything to bring me on permanent. I've got until February before the position expires, and it's damned hard to make long-term plans if I don't know if I'll be employed in a year.

Still itchy and spotty. I'm supposed to go to a friend's house and watch The Middleman tonight, but I'm wondering if I should stay home instead. Except we've cancelled several weeks in a row...

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

When I was a kid, there was some weird bit of playground lore that said that, if you wore green on a Wednesday, that meant you were gay. So when St. Patrick's Day fell on a Wednesday, there was always discussion about whether it was OK to wear green or not, and the boys who were the usual targets of bullies would get beaten up whether they wore green or not.

Because books.

Fingers crossed, ita.

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?

Yay, ita!

I am wearing green today. It's one of my favorite colors, but I do work around a lot of 13 and 14 year olds who would totally pinch me. So, green.

I also have corned beef on the stove. Should be done in about an hour.
