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, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

So the question begs, Zen, how the fuck do you deal with your sister?!

Herding cats for fun

she also talks so much and so fast that you have to be extremely rude and firm to interrupt...

I have too many people like this in my life. They all think I talk too much, because I will say "Nancy?" 31 times in a row until I can get my comment into the conversation. 31 times! That's a lot of hot air to bloviate at high speed.

Last Boss I had was such a talker, it took me days to find a moment to ask her important questions about how to get things done. She made my ears hurt and she wasted my time.

Our wings are not tired

My big meeting today about a potential new contract for my company went well. There are still some more steps to go through before I know if I'm the company that gets the contract, but it looks promising and could be a very good thing for the business.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Good news Drew! I'll continue to send the ~ma.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I keep thinking I should cut cable, but I don't want to. I don't want to go hunting for the shows I want, I want them delivered to my DVR. The cable part of the bill is only about $68 anyway.

I really struggle with this. The satellite is wasted money and yet. I like having some random shit to watch rather than always having to actively choose something. Plus virtually everything is or could be a marathon on Amazon or Hulu, and that's not always a good option to have.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Woo hoo! Jobs for everyone!

I *love* not having cable, almost as much as I love not giving Cablevision that $90/month. Hopefully HBO will make good on their promise to have a cord-cutter option by the time GoT comes back so I don't have to cheat with my mom's HBOGo password.

Tonight's episode of Criminal Minds may be triggery for a lot of us, considering ita's passing.

And congrats to Plei and Jess! That's wonderful news.

Huh, last time I tried for just internet, it was actually more expensive than cable + internet. So right now my cable box is unplugged and I'm watching things on Hulu Plus already. Need to change that shit fast.
