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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Thanks, Sue. I'm getting there, mostly by moving very very slowly.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Feel better, Perkins!

So I went out to get non-black shoes, and instead got black shoes and two dresses. And a beach coverup. But they were all on sale! And I really need the coverup, and one of the dresses is for a friend's wedding. I feel like I always get the level wrong for wedding clothes, so I hope this is OK.

Then I went grocery shopping. Somewhere in there, I realized that yogurt and blueberries wasn't actually enough for lunch, but I kept going, so now I am jamming popcorn in my piehole.

Apparently I've decided to clean all the things, to the point of dismantling my desktop computer to remove the dust bunnies.

At some point the frenzy will stop. I just hope the bed will be made again by the time that happens.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Want to come over to my place and clean all the things?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Zen, thanks for the bathing suit link! Will check it out.

My laptop has been overheating, so I think I might need to open it up and see if it's full of cat hair...

What was the show Scrappy & family were on? I wrote the show down, but I think it's on a post-it at work, so I can't remember the name. It's HGTV, right?

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

Hammer Heads, on HGTV.

I'm very sad that I missed the Scrappy show, but not as sad as the fact I have been completely incapacitated by vertigo for most of the day. Meara has been an angel. An angel.
