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.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

In mildly creepy news: I think you guys know about this movie that was done, kinda a docudrama about the singer whose vision our non-profit is based on. Well, it's been doing small screenings across the country, and we've had the director's blessing to do some of our promo with them. So this Saturday I'm headed down to do another one. So there's been a certain amount of email back and forth with the booking agent. Only, when I get email from her, it comes with the To: listed as "Rich Mullins." Which, a) Rich Mullins never emailed me when he was alive, much less when he was dead for almost two decades. And b) it's weird for the message then to be from this perky woman named Laura.

Anyway.

"it's hard to turn a wrench on a rusty bolt" was "it's hard to turn a ranch on a rusty bull." Good times.

I know this song and I can see how you heard that. I think next time it plays that is all I'll hear. Thanks, Amy.

Because books.

You're welcome, Suzi! ::beams::

I turned "flag flying" into "black light" in another song. There's a chance I should have my hearing checked.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, that's a little creepy.

On the song "Life in the Fast Lane", I thought it said "Are you on your sofa?" instead of "Are you with me so far?"

Hot apple pie? Cold beer and a baseball game?

I DO NOT WANT TO WORK any more today. I actually wanted to go to the country bar tonight and maybe line dance but I can't find anyone to go with me.

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

I am done working for today (this week) hooray! And I remembered to go to the drugstore and they had everything I wanted to buy including coffee (I decided Starbucks brand from Walgreens was better than Peet's with additional driving) AND I have Nasalcort to try. Now I just need to feed myself some lunch and I will be in good shape.

Something about Steve Inskeep's voice really irritates me. It's like I hate his stupid face, except on the radio. No idea why. I am sure he is a perfectly fine person whom I should hold no animosity towards.

Right? Ok, good. Not just me then.

Sing it with me!

I don't actually have tomorrow off, as as freelancer, but I really don't feel like working tomorrow, either.
