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.

Our wings are not tired.

Yeah, well, I guess that's engaging the phone.

ETA: and it looks like my carrier, AT&T outlines it such:

When your device is on:

•Calls that you do not answer that are routed to the AT&T voicemail system will be charged as an international roaming incoming call to your device.

•In addition, the foreign carrier's routing of that call to the AT&T voicemail system may generate an outgoing call charge from your device's location to the U.S.

•These charges apply even if the caller disconnects from the voicemail system without leaving a message.

If your device is turned off or in flight mode and the wireless network is off:

•When someone tries to call you, the call will go directly to your personal voicemail greeting.

•Since the network does not try to deliver the call to you in a foreign country, there are no international roaming charges.

hip deep in pie

I landed on a site that downloaded some malware. Somehow, either the malware or the steps I took to take it off, borked my internet connect. I just spent 2 hours messing with my router and modem until I realized it wasn't me. Fortunately, my service provider tech support got me back on fairly quickly.

I really need to figure out what do with with my smartphone before I head to London. Not that Hec's ass ever calls.

For dinner, I had strawberries, roasted brussels sprouts, and an apple and gouda chicken sausage. It was pretty good, you guys.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

It sounds good, shrift. I had a Bertolli frozen pasta thingie, but tarted it up with butter, chicken stock, sauteed shrooms, lemon, cheese and fresh spinach. And a cheese breadstick.

And some DoubleStuf Oreo cakesters. I don't love oreos, but I am SO glad those cakesters come in little packages of two, or else I could eat a fuckton.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I haven't been posting much lately, but I've been trying to keep up.

Gud - I hope a better and brighter opportunity is right around the corner for you.

Jilli & Pete and FredPete - I'm so sorry for your loses.

Msbelle - congrats on the part time job.

I've been enjoying K-Bug time, making plans for her graduation and moving out here. CJ's play is next week, so rehearsals are running longer and longer each day.
