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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I wonder where all my motivation went? I have plenty to do, and no desire to do any of it.

Well, I sure don't have it. I checked.

more than 80 bronze and marble statues of the highest quality, including one of Pan having sex with a goat.

I think I've seen a photo of that statue. Well, I've seen a photo of a marble statue of Pan fucking a goat; it may be the same one. It was in a book called Roman Sex, highly recommended. It's gorgeous, anyway, and they both look pretty happy about it. Pan is indeed part goat, so, you know.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Out of curiosity, I Googled "statue of Pan copulating with a goat". In the images section on the front search page, three of the images are the statue. The fourth is a picture of 3 of the 4 guys from "Anchorman".

I am definitely up for a drink and post. Going back to work today was dire. I think it made the reality of not getting awesome job sink in.

Also, bought tickets for a concert tonight and my friends who were going to go aren't, and I am definitely not up for going alone.

I'm reconsidering the wisdom of working on Thursday. I have vacation time I can use. I should use it, right? And then today would be my Monday and my Friday.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

If the missing one is Paul Rudd, I have no interest. Curse his adorableness.

Take the day, shrift.

The missing one is Steve Carrell.

I'm gonna do it, Cass!

I think taking some time to relax and make a dent in the giant backlog of TV I'm behind on is a wise choice. I haven't had a chance to watch any of the new QI or Never Mind the Buzzcocks.
