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.

Maria's posting on Facebook that she's been stuck for seven hours.

8" on my deck. And that's AFTER 2-3" compressed under sleet and rain. Oooohkay.

Yeah, Maria's got a raw deal.

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

Punishingly Intricate

It took a friend of a friend 4 hours to get 7 miles. The local news is saying people are preparing to sleep in their cars on 83 (the highway that runs north-south from the beltway into bmore). It's been closed for hours after a tractor trailer jacknifed on it.

I am VERY happy I was able to leave work early this afternoon.

ION, my next door neighbor is belching REALLY LOUDLY.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

I regard not washing my car as a protective measure that makes it less attractive to potential thieves.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Marie has been not going anywhere for way to long

I'm just enough worried about her that I keep checking, even though I can do nothing from this side of the country

She'll be ok, but I do wish we'd had the foresight to tell her to burrow in in DC or here.
