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.

Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This  

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.

Because books.

The earthquake is all over Twitter. Here we just have more lousy snow.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I guess I should be grateful that we have no natural phenomena of note here -- just sunny and cold.

Tales from medical editing: here's a phrase you NEVER want to hear -- "airway fire".

NOPE NOPE NOPE.

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

I am also pro drip irrigation, on general principles. I need to fix mine since the manifold sheared off the faucet in front. That ready to assemble stuff is neat.

I have mixed feelings about earthquakes,snow, and weather in general. I am against airway fires.

Probably need more coffee.

I'm trying to imagine what "airway fire" means and realizing I probably shouldn't be.

Pretty much what you're imagining. It was during a laser procedure to remove a cancerous lesion from the vocal cords.

NOPE NOPE NOPE.

(The title of this article is "Lasers and Losers in the Eyes of the Law" -- it's about malpractice suits due to laser procedures. The titles usually don't even try to be funny/cutesy, so I gotta give them points for this one.)

Oh dear.

Cannot eat pretzel chips and listen to a telecon at the same time.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Earthquakes, airway fire, and pain. Oh my.

I'm baking some muffins in my new oven! And was able to find everything I needed in the kitchen on the first shot. I even got a load of dishes running in the dishwasher. I feel fairly accomplished for only being awake for a couple of hours. Oh, and work. I'm working too...kinda.
