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.

Have a great trip, sarameg! Kinda jealous of you right now, no lie.

ChaserSun is me, Suzi, sent you a request. Who is CastleCentaur?

My microwave stopped working, and I seem to have forgotten how to cook without it.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I got the lightening question wrong! I am ashamed. More Nova watching is in order for me, clearly. Um, because I'd never do that without the prompting.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

What is Pottermore?

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

My microwave stopped working, and I seem to have forgotten how to cook without it.

Wait, there are people who cook without a microwave?

It's an online Harry Potter game book experience thing. You experience "moments" from the book, get sorted into a house, can duel other students in spells, make potions, do other things to earn House Ponts, and read some commentary from JKR.

I don't currently own a microwave. It's not that bad, really.

San Miguel Market

Oooh, we went there! Although we called it a mini-Ferry Building. That's where we finally got the bacalao we'd kept failing to get in other places on the trip.

Don't forget to go to Valor for chocolate & churros! [link]

Also, I am babysitting my 4-year-old niece today and I'm EXHAUSTED. Went to the zoo on the hottest day of the year, forgot sunscreen. She's fine, but I got burned. bah.

I took a nap, she wasn't tired yet! Now she's watching Yo Gabba Gabba on my Kindle while I catch up on B.org.

Our wings are not tired.

9/10 on the quiz. Dumb guess on the speed of rotation thing. I should have actually known that. I think I only had to guess on one other.

4 year-olds have an amazing amount of energy.

Chicago is playing at an outdoor amphitheater about a mile from my house in 15 minutes. I usually can hear events there so I am hoping for good wind direction.
