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.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Meeting people angry. Just got reminder of dentist appt today, which gets me out of another angry meeting. Woohoo?

When dental appointments are preferable to work you may have a suboptimal work environment.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

What I am not saying Elsewhere: Seriously people, if Set A includes Subsets B, C, and, E, complaints about lack of access to Subset B because access to Subset B seems important are no slap in the face to those who have labored to create Subsets C and E. Also, if a reader mistakes complaints about lack of Subset B as somehow indicative that subset E is nonexistant, the flaw in the argument is not that of the author but of the reader.

BTDT, Sophia.

Although I'm now picturing you stir frying (to I Go To Work. Because) and the inside-outness is like a statement.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Ginger, an antique dealer I know once was upset because someone wanted to buy an antique low dresser and cut a hole in the top to make it into a bathroom vanity with a sink.

And my mother once impulsively bought a desk because the dealer was planning to do a painting (I forget what kind, specifically, but it would have involved flowers and leaves) on the slant top.

People ...

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

And now I'm home. That was a lovely waste of time, gas, and tolls. At least I get to work from home today, due to my immense stupidity.

A big part of the reason we bought this house is the excellent shed with built in work table out back. Even as full of boxes as it is right now it's a pretty good workspace.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm finally caught up on Natter. I was just super-depressed for the last 10 or so days, which I think was related to ita. But I'm actually in a good mood at the moment, I think because of a simple conversation on FB with my Minneapolis friends--I saw some of them at a wedding party a few weeks ago, which was the first time I had seen them in years, and had been really cheered up to see them then too.

So maybe I need to get out more, and communicate more with folks.

Glad you are in a good mood, tommyrot. And that makes sense.

I think I forgot to actually type my congratulations Drew-ward. I was thinking them very loud. Glad to hear the meeting went well, hope decisions go your way!

Also, I was so engrossed reading Natter that I almost missed my train stop. I had to run out of the train carrying my coat, scarf, iPad and backpack in my hands.
