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.

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

So who married ScarJo? Ryan went onto that?

I think it's cute, Grace on a bus.

Because books.

Grace on a bus! Wow. I was freaked when Sara had to ride the bus at four.

Buses are good, though. If I had to drive or walk them every day, it would be nuts.

But I keep thinking, "Grace is too little to ride the yellow school bus alone! She's still in a stroller!!"

Sigh.

We have another, potentially even more fruitless, doctor's appointment tomorrow. I am taking the day off. I think K and I will also take Grace to the Getty to see the Leonardo Da Vinci exhibit. Polgara, how does parking work now?

This review of Top Shot cracked me up.

Let me know what time you want to go, and I'll set up free parking for you!

Oh! Can you do that? That would be awesome. We'll probably be there around 2:45 (Grace's appt is at UCLA at 1:15...) Can we see you for a few moments too?

I am trying to make a summer booklist to make requests at the library. Anything newish that I absolutely must read?

I am super stoked for Top Shot. I cancelled it yesterday but tivoed it today.

There's a book ... crap, all I can remember is it has Major Pettigrew in the title, Kat. It's getting a lot of buzz and looks really good.

That review is the best. And when I watched the clips, I totally got what Linda Holmes was talking about.

I'm an NPR nerd.
