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.

I've got to keep in the habit of not sleeping in. I don't ever really need it, I just hate waking up so much for about 30 minutes after I'm up, so it is easy to go back to bed.

Spinach from the market is SO GOOD. Made a straight up spinach and tomato salad with a light italian dressing and NOM.

Oh, and I literally clobbered 4 kids in the pool today. I really don't get how they can't see this human barreling towards them and, I dunno, get out of the way? I can't see them. Really whacked the shit out of one kid, almost felt bad.

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

I have accomplished nothing today. Well, I napped, and I watched "Who Is Clark Rockefeller?" I'm not sure that really counts.

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

I touched up paint on the ceiling of the entry way, scraped paint off the kitchen windows, changed lightbulbs in 3 rooms and replaced the lightshade that had been off since the painting was done. Now laundry, getting some more summer clothes out of storage and hopefully moving some more items down to storage if I can re-arrange the shelves.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, there was a thing in the paper yesterday that they are looking for more census takers here, and specifically named my neighborhood. I think I'm going to try it! Even if I got a full-time job soon, I could do it evenings and weekends.

I did some cleaning and watched Justified, which was awesome.

I also just spent an enormous amount of money on a new door. Perils of a 19th century building - everything has to be custom. But I'm super excited about it.

Because books.

I loved Justified, too, brenda. Olyphant is really good.

Whoah. James Randi—who is 81—just came out.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Is it here Nora was talking about moving to NO? If so, Nora, feel free to ping my cousins. Kara basically did just what you're thinking about, though we have family and friends there. I'm sure it would take you no time and Kara would be happy to invite you to stuff and make intros. smonster can attest to their awesomeness.

Lesson learned from "Who Is Clark Rockefeller?": People are easily duped, and much less likely to google than I would have thought.
