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.

Fun, liese! (We have been talking about how we need to see you this year....)

You guys! It's CHILLY OUT!

Seriously, it is actually almost 40 degrees cooler outside than it was 2 days ago. Bonkers for here. OK, time to Target, TJs and etc.

Sarameg, Lisah - are you going to Artscape at all? (signed, missing Baltimore again)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

We do, Kat! Maybe we'll do NAMM again.

Okay, flea & steph, I am leaving a little later than intended so expect to be a little late. Will put my digits in my profile so you can contact me if needed.

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

Huh. What I learned today: exports of birds' nests for bird's nest soup account for 0.5% of Indonesia's GDP.

Punishingly Intricate

I think we might hit Artscape today, Sox. Bob has never been. It's usually super balls hot for Artscape weekend so it will be weird to be there on a cool, rainy day.

First I need to get moving and go to the market and, like, take a shower and whatnot. This cool, rainy is lovely sleeping weather!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK FINE. I packed some books. Am now girding my loins to go to the laundromat. I think I'm going to get a pedicure while the stuff washes, so that's nice. I love how I think I'm rich.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

My best friend (who lives in Portland) texted me last night while I was in TDKR:

"Aldis says hi."

!!!!!!!!

I didn't read it until this morning. I need him to wake up and EXPLAIN.
