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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Despite the best efforts of our armed forces, some people still live in impenetrable compounds. Of stupidity.

Awesome. I just might tag.

Our wings are not tired.

This is why we really need to teach critical thinking better in schools.

Of course she also is homeschooling because she can't have her child brainwashed by the system. And she wouldn't give the kid immunizations either.

And in her actual work here, brilliant. Smart as can be. And quick. Boggles.

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

Well, there's different types of intelligence.

A lot of very smart people seem to have no common sense. Like the MENSA teenager who killed someone (you know, perfect crime and all that) and then bragged about it to his friends.

So, Nora, smonster, I am coming to NO for a conference in late June! smonster, you will be there by then, RIGHT?

(Also, we bought the Dublin plane tickets. It is a day of travel planning.)

Isn't there a Fenway stop on the green line? I'd think that would be a lot closer to Fenway Park than the Hynes stop. (And maybe closer than the Kenmore stop, though I'm not as sure of that.)

Kenmore is definitely closer to Landsdowne street than Hynes or Fenway (thought Fenway is closer than Hynes). Also, Kenmore is on three out of the four Green lines (anything but E: Heath Street); Fenway is on one specific one (D).

Ooh, flea, when are you going? I'm also headed to Dublin soon, over Memorial Day weekend, to meet up with M while he's over there doing research for a month.
