They're all right, but dogs are better because people see you out with them.
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.

A friend of mine is convinced that the only way we can get a real 3rd-party candidacy going in this country is if we institute... [pause for effect] ... preferential voting.
Yeah, I agree with that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
ION, look at the Neiman Marcus + Target holiday collections!!! [link] They apparently come out 12/1, which is a Saturday, which probably means I can order online at midnight, as opposed to trying to go to the store when it opens.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
If the electoral college goes away, so does the concept of a swing state, and so any vote for a nonviable candidate is effectively a vote for (in my case) the GOP, which I refuse to do.
True, true. So first we establish a viable third party, and THEN we abolish the electoral college. And then we install fact-checkers at all debates and overturn Citizens United. Who's with me??

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Just to round out the morning, during the 25 minute cab ride it took to get me here, the cab driver told me the story of how he went from being a grad student in theoretical physics to driving a cab for 10 years, complete with a cheating girlfriend, a car destroyed by a tree, and (my hand to god) photos he pulled up on his macbook.

Hubby and I have so many in jokes that we have entire conversations that people don't understand. Triple-language puns, quotes from bad movies, things from TV shows we saw 20 years ago--it's like that Star Trek TNG episode with the people who speak in metaphors.
That's what I would miss most if we ever divorced (or whatever), the ongoing conversation of nearly 30 years.

Do you have a copy of "No Exit" in your purse or something?

That sounds like someone I went to college with, complete with the oversharing, except that in his case 1) he's gay, and 2) he did it the other way around. He drove a cab for 10 years and then got a law degree.
Uh, not that I'd want to see you stuck in cab with him.
