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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Jilli, feel free to spam me with Gerard Way photos.

Skipping yet again to sadly ignore ongoing conversations and post that, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is a double Buffista event: it's the birthday of both Burrell as well as Calli.

Happy birthday, Burrell! Happy birthday, Calli! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!

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

Thanks, Nilly! Also, happy birthday, Burrell!

I'm sorry I wasn't on the board in a timely manner to suggest this, ita. [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Happy birthday, Calli!! Happy birthday, Burrell!!

Yikes -- I started my day with a little adrenaline after the shuttle I was on almost hit another car, right where I was sitting! It turned out OK, though. And I had already had a slight jolt when my father's ride showed up 20 minutes early, and we were Not Ready. That was also OK.

Happy birthday Calli! Happy birthday Burrell!

Some kids were smoking pot at the bus stop, and now my eyes are all watery. It amazes me how much I smell pot smoke out in the open air downtown. I think they pack it in cigarettes so it doesn't look so obvious

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I don't think I've smelled pot in years. Sometimes just seeing a scene of smoking in a movie gives me a slight contact high, I swear.

If medical marijuana passes in MA, I'm going to try it for my fibromyalgia. Couldn't hurt, might help.

I passed people smoking pot all the time in NYC, less so here in Boston, but not never.

Hey, can other people watch the video here: [link] I can't get it to work using Firefox on a Mac.

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

The video works for me in Opera on a Mac, Jesse.

Happy birthdays, Calli and Burrell!

Jilli, StumbleUpon was what started this whole thing off for me, because I followed a link on my web stats report, and what it said was that someone had "Stumbled" me, and gave me mor information about butting a button on my site.

I had hoped to do minimal redesign to mine for the buttons, but if they don't behave soon, there will have to be measures!
