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'm guessing if she had been wildly unstable, it wouldn't have gotten to that meeting, but I don't know how academia works -- if you're on the tenure track, do you automatically stay there?

Pretty much. Except many places now have a (usually 3rd/4th year) review to make sure you are on track to get tenure, basically to avoid the stress of "you've worked here 7 years, but now you're fired" that is getting denied tenure.

Who was that? She looked a bit like a Disney product to me. She has a decent voice, but it was sort poppy for such a majestic anthem.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Who was that?

Her name is Niki something...she's like 14? 15? She's sort of touted as some kind of Jazz singing prodigy.
