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.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I almost thought I'd written that myself, except I am trying to find a shirt with the arc reactor

The arc reactor doesn't really move me. I just don't feel it. Which makes me sad, because Iron Man is my favorite Avenger. But I have big love for Cap and Thor, too. (Part of me is tempted to buy this Cap/Thor shirt, because I would walk around wearing it saying "Saving the WORLD!!!" in a Don LaFontaine voice. But in the end, I'd rather have a logo shirt.)

Okay, I smell like skunk cabbage. Must shower now. Possibly forever.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I had very good intentions of getting stuff done today, like getting a smog check and going to Costco. Then I took an allergy pill and went back to bed.

I did start the dishwasher, at least.

The status is NOT quo.

I'm with you, Lee. My allergies have been kicking my butt lately.

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

I took CJ to training this morning, came home, crawled back in bed and slept until noon. I can't wait for this cold to take a hike.

I'm working on a deep clean of the living room, including shifting furniture. I normally get someone else to dust due to my asthma, but I'm doing it small bit by small bit and am ok so far.

Just got a text from CJ that his training has been halted and they are out on a search. First really nice weekend of 2012 and someone already in need of search and rescue.

Crazy - got another text from CJ "Almost done" which was quickly followed by "Nevrmind, plane crash in Elbert County". Eeeep.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I did some gardening today. Now I'm sitting on the front porch watching a bee go all over an annual I dropped in a pot last week. I could swear I hear her saying, "Om nom nomzzzzzz."

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I have done stuff. 2 more people replied with sorry, can't, but at least two more replied.

I am sore and will be more sore tomorrow and my yard still looks bad and my house is still cluttered.

1 load of laundry. dishes in sink washed. litter cleaned. recycling out. 2 transhcans full of leaves and yellow oak tree fuzz. 2 sections on lawn sprayed. flowerbeds watered. Castle watched.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Thanks, le nubian. That was interesting.

I'm trying to decide if I want to go see Hunger Games tonight or tomorrow.

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

If I could find any of the these arc reactors in a chick cut, I'd be happy. Well, not the one with the torso. But, nothing. And I doubt I'll find something before May 4th. So, instead, old faithful.
