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 am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Well, going to the gym on the way home from work, doing a round of circuit training, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi is undeniably pleasant, but it sure eats up time.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

That jacket is way wicked cute, lisah.

Should I mention that today was apparently a record-setting warm January day in Sacramento? Probably not.

I am jealous of people who have reason to wear nice coats, though. I like coats.

Punishingly Intricate

Asymmetrical zipper!

I'm ok with the cold because I haven't had to be out in it a ton. And I have warm clothing. But I did have a winter urban tragedy today--I left my gloves on the metro. I don't care about the gloves so much as the awesome overglove things I also left. I've had them for years and they are super warm. I hope somebody who really needed them got them.

The status is NOT quo.

Where do we talk about Downton? Because I have been catching up and have Opinions.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Here, with whitefont, I think.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Tennis: Li Na wins the Australian Open LI NA WOOOO! Ryan has twice come out of his bedroom because his family were cheering too loudly. I saw her first appearance in the Aus Open finals, back in 2011. She's really improved in her determination.

Tennis:

Every time Li Na talks after a match she has a go at her husband (and former coach). "He does a lot of jobs, fix my drinks, fix my racquets. Thanks a lot, you're a nice guy. And so lucky you found me."

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

Timelies all!

Quiet weekend here. (We seem to have a bunch of those in a row right now) Got some errands to do, but that's it.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

It's above 20 degrees here, for the first time in a week. Heat wave!
