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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

ION, the inside of Trudy's head is demonstrably nicer than the inside of my head.

hip deep in pie

That is a pretty string squirrel if it was a human leg bone.

Had a fun afternoon sailing in the harbour. I was at the tiller most of the afternoon, which is terrifying since I haven't been a sailboat since I was a kid. I don't know how we'll all explain our sunburns at the office tomorrow.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I had a cat when I was much younger and thus shorter who hauled a coyote leg up to the roof of our house (there were rocks to get there). Now, I am fairly certain he didn't bring down a coyote, but still scavenging a coyote leg seemed pretty hardcore for a domestic cat.

Is that true in other jurisdictions?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

It should not be in the low 60s and overcast in early October. Not helping my mood any, either.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

My cat brought home a bunny head once. Actually, she brought home the SAME bunny head, twice-- the first time I shrieked and flung it off the balcony, and she went and retrieved it the next morning.

Then she brought home a live baby bunny. Which she proceeded to release in my bedroom. That was cuter, but still not so fun.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yikes. Another reason to be glad I have an indoor cat. And the one time we saw a mouse, he didn't work that hard at killing it, which was kind of good news/bad news.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

How come there isn't a failblog-like collection of the dumbest posts in newspaper comments sections?

And why isn't there a "letters to the editor" sort of intern who deletes that shit? It makes me think the world is getting dumber.

So that the rest of the readers can shake their heads and go "At least I'm smarter than that idiot."
