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.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

so have you seen Patton Oswalt's epic filibuster in which he offers up a detailed plot regarding the next Star Wars movie?

Part of it will be in 'Parks & Rec' tonight, but apparently he went on for 10 minutes. Unexpectedly, he references Avengers, Star Trek, and others.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Mark Ruffalo learning about Science Bros

Hahaha! If the internet does not immediately explode with "Would you like a gummy worm?" art, I will fall over.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Kind of like Christopher Judge learning what furries are.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

The pictures are much clearer than I expected them to be.

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

FTR, "hey, that reminds me, I have more work for you to do" is NOT the proper response to an email saying "come up to the library for cookies to celebrate National Library week".

I would like to get off the hamster wheel now please.

Even just for a few minutes would be good.

Our wings are not tired

I agree about this week. Every day, I have looked for something that would lighten my mood because this week has been fucked up.

Yeah, not a great week to have a birthday, never has been. I share it with multiple tragedies over the years, tax day, Hitler's birthday, which was also my dad's birthday, fun fun fun.

I just got an email in response to a resume I sent three weeks ago.

Oh, god. I can't bear it. The lunch meeting I was supposed to be having tomorrow has been delayed, I have no idea why. OTOH, my friend says he has approval to bring me in for an interview--it's not exactly an offer, but at least we're going in the right direction.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Yeah, this hasn't been a great week to have a birthday. (Mine was yesterday. At least I got a Great Big Sea concert out of it.)
