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 don't think I've ever before been kilt ded of the cute by a t-shirt design, but that one did it. DED NOW. Please bury me in one of those shirts.

I was really impressed that a Catholic chaplain was part of the ceremony, which was lovely and respectful to everyone involved.

Me too! I wrote a letter to the bishop of the parish I was christened in asking to be excommunicated or whatever it is they do, and someone (not him, I don't think), wrote back saying there'd be prayers said for me. Not really what I'd asked for.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Johnny Depp comes to school to help 9-year-old mutiny against teachers

Johnny Depp staged a cute publicity stunt yesterday, showing up at a south London school where a 9-year-old student had sent him a letter asking for help in staging a mutiny against her teachers:

He said nine-year-old Beatrice had written to Captain Jack, asking him to lead a mutiny against her teachers.

Depp, 47, has been filming the latest instalment of the franchise in London.

After his arrival, a special school assembly was called and the film star - along with other members of the cast dressed in full costume - walked in.

Depp produced Beatrice's letter and performed for the children for 15 minutes.

But he told the schoolgirl that a mutiny might get them into trouble.

There's a short video....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Princess Cruises just hired me!!!!

Yay! Princess has a reputation for treating its employees better than other cruise lines. (It's also the line we sail on for cruises.)

In Max news, the feeding tube went in fine. We're in the "getting it right, but still going slowly" phase of feeding him, and he's getting used to it. And he seems to be feeling at least somewhat better. It's going to be interesting figuring out how to feed him 4 times a day, but Hubs is taking today off, and I'd planned for some time to take next week off.

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

Yay for Bon bon's job! (pending security check) eta and Zuisa's!

I am currently sitting in the doctor's waiting room with a needle in my arm while they mske the blood they drew radioactive, so they can inject it back into me and then take pictures of my heart.

Also, very hungry, since I had to fast.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

Me too! I wrote a letter to the bishop of the parish I was christened in asking to be excommunicated or whatever it is they do, and someone (not him, I don't think), wrote back saying there'd be prayers said for me. Not really what I'd asked for.

Really not what you asked for!

There was a form that the woman at my church completedd - let me look up the evite:

a formal Declaration of Defection
(Actus formalis defectionis ab Ecclesia catholica)

I wonder if you could get one of those.

(Actus formalis defectionis ab Ecclesia catholica)

Oooh, and it's in Latin.

I'll have another go next time I'm home. That time I did it for a religion class in school I think (I was somewhat anti-religious in school).
