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.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

None of the Toms do it for me attractiveness-wise, though they're all undeniably charming.

Mmm, coconut flax bread is good. Probably best I don't eat the whole loaf while it's hot from the oven...

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

This is the recipe: [link] I've made it with cow's milk and with coconut, and the recipe was thicker and chunkier with the coconut milk (not the weird stuff I got from Ralph's, the stuff I got from Wholefoods). Haven't tried the coconut oil--butter and vegetable oil both worked well.

It's rich, not too sweet, and has got chocolate I can feel in my ears.

So I bought a kettlebell, a hopelessly gendered package (Swing yourself sexy!), but it's adjustable, which is most practical right now. I decided to warm up the calluses with 8lbs in motion for ten minutes. Hopefully this will start loosening my shoulders and lessening that pain in conjunction with the procedures and shit.

I can still do the trademark swing and pump move with 12lbs, but quite clearly only once. No reps of twelve both sides...I miss me.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Those look yummy

Because books.

I hope one contains a fox.

In socks.

With a trunk full of frocks.

Hopefully this will start loosening my shoulders and lessening that pain in conjunction with the procedures and shit.

Fingers crossed!

I wonder if I could pick up a kettlebell.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

This is the recipe:

Oooh, those sound great!

Of course! They make sexy ones in pink. The brand I bought is fucking EMPOWER. We can all pick up kettlebells. Because we're girls and we're good enough.

God, when did this happen? They had normal handweights, but no kettlebells that I'd ever seen before. Moral: Don't sports goods shop at BB&B.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Jesse has boxes of boxes and boxes
The boxes of boxes are home to a fox
To keep thieves from taking her frocks and socks
The fox keeps them all in a box with locks
And a painting on top of sheep in flocks
