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.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I am grateful my in-laws are here packing my house. I am. I am.

But I may have already hit my limit on people in my space, asking me questions. Every time they ask about something, it feels like a judgment (which it totally isn't! I am just nuts!), and it's very tiring.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

So it appears I'll be visting San Francisco in late June and early July.

Fun! What dates exactly since I'm going to be in Ohio from June 27-30.

Also, when they have little moments of bickering (totally normal!), it stresses me out.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

What dates exactly since I'm going to be in Ohio from June 27-30.

Dunno exact dates yet, but I will soon. But I'll definitely be there the first week of July. I might arrive sometime between June 24 and July 1. So yeah, I'd love to see you guys and other Bay-area Buffistas. ("Bayfistas"?)

Secret confession, I really like packing. It's the unpacking I cannot abide.

Abide is my word for the day. I am not the Dude.

My desk is completely disorganized, but like Amy, if I can't see something it doesn't exist. It's not a good trait at a school site.

Kat,

I am ying to your yang. I prefer unpacking.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I have the "if I can't see it it doesn't exist thing" too.

Also, I still haven't finished unpacking from moving 7 or 8 years ago!

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

As I have mentioned with my house stuff wrt McPhee putting stuff out of sight. There is a level of me needing things within sight in order to keep on top of them, but at my desk at work, I have, over the years, learned to deal with a file system for certain thins and I can manage that in a drawer of need be. I would prefer it on my desktop though.

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

My idea for #2 on the drawing challenge is making my hand cramp up. More than 50% through, ita !

I just told someone to leave me alone at my desk (as I dotted), because I was on a break. I've never actually done that before. How great of me to start with a direction!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am obsessed with unpacking as soon as possible. Shit might not be in the right place, but it is OUT OF BOXES.

It probably helps that I live in like 200 sq. ft.
