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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

This is exactly what I was going to say!

Were you really going to say "93% soy"?

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

He had been solving his pain issues with Tylenol with Rum & Diet Coke chasers. Now he is one very sick pup.

Similar thing happened to one of my classmates in high school. Tylenol and alcohol do not mix.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You can generally open your own flue. If you stick your head in the fireplace and use a flashlight, you should see a lever you can use.

I have a twisty handle thing outside the chimney that turns, but it's rusted/busted. I don't see a lever inside.

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

I am on the phone with United, trying to figure out if they will be able to help me at all with travel arrangements that just got complicated...okay, no, I'm not, not with a 60-minute wait time. I will call them later.

Anyway, my great-aunt died yesterday, and somehow between my brother, my mother, my cousin, and myself, there's basically one day we can have the services, and it's the day before I fly to LA for a con.

Oh, I'm sorry, Dana.

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

Art Crawl!!!

Friends came by to help me clean and we had copies made of my keys. And even though I was feeling exhausted and muscle sore, I am now feeling so much better.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I'm so sorry, Dana!

sumi, glad you have keys and good friends!

Were you really going to say "93% soy"?

Okay, no, I was going to say "mostly plant matter". Close enough!

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

I'm sorry, Dana.

Caught up on Scandal - I see what y'all mean, that was very satisfying.

Oh, I meant to say -- I only wished that Cyrus's fantasy sequence had been real.
