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.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Hil, that sucks!! I hope they get it figured out and fixed tomorrow.

I had my six-month review today. It went really well! It was super informal. The two things he wants me to work on (stress management and estimating project timelines) are things we'd already discussed and I knew about and am working on. And he knows that.

We also talked about what we can do to address the projected budget shortfall, and I got the green light to contact a consultant friend to see if he was willing to talk to us for free. I sent him a message just before five, he replied with his number and to call him, and we talked for an hour an a half. BOO YAH. And he said to call if I need him and not worry about paying him, he has downtime between his big paying jobs that he can use for these kinds of chats. Oh wait, did I say BOO YAH? There are no easy fixes, of course, but I gave him a good overview of the special challenges presented by the culture, politics, and economy of the city, and I think he'll keep mulling it over and let me know what ideas he comes up with.

This is why I'm hot.

And now to work on volunteer shit. Oy. I've got about an hour until my head starts hitting the keyboard.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I just finished off S3. I knew it was coming, but still, so sorry to have lost Stringer.

Part of Ryan's bathtime ritual is that when he gets out, he makes wet footprints on the bathmat. Sometimes he gets Daddy to do the same, to compare feet. Tonight he got out, made his footprints, looked at them for a moment, shouted "Tummy-print!" and belly-flopped his naked self onto the bathmat.

This growing up thing is pretty damn cool. I love watching him come up with new ideas. Especially hilarious ones.

Has he asked to compare Daddy's tummy-print yet?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I didn't know it was coming, and I was like what the fuuuuuuck, you can't do that. You can't do that. YOU CAN'T DO THAT. But they did.

Always giving a shit when it ain't his turn to give a shit.

As far as the whole giving-a-fuck thing, I'm like Jimmy.(I don't drunk-dial, crash cars, and I doubt I could get laid at Parents' Night.)

But I have been giving a fuck when it ain't my turn since 1973. Also, Stringer really is awesome.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Ryan's tummy print is my new happy place. Wayyyyyyyy too cute for human consumption.
