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.

I couldn't sleep and got up early and now I WANT MORE NEWS FROM BOSTON. I hope they can get the second suspect without any further loss of life.

Jesus, I woke up just as news this morning of suspect 1 dead, carjacking, Watertown...well, I'm still processing. Jesse, vw, Allyson's people, whoever, stay home!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My office is closed, and the City of Cambridge woke me up to tell me to stay inside. Jesus. I said last night I didn't want to go to work, but this was NOT what I meant. (Also, personal crisis: I only have two cigarettes in the house! I want them both right now.)

Yeah, the name of the deceased suspect has been released.

Chechnya? I would not have guessed that in the US. Of course, it might not be all nationalism-crazy, just plain crazy.

I love NPR for many things. Breaking news is not one of them.

I think they are doing a pretty good job on NPR!

I'm listening to local news, which is getting super-local with where the cops are.

Yeah, hell of a wakeup here. The MBTA is totally shut down. No order to stay inside here in Somerville.

My roommate probably knows the MIT officer -- it's a small force so she's interacted whenever there's a library problem that they have to come out for.
