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.

I contend that B.org is not media. It's home.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

What. Ginger. Said.

Amen to ginger.

Ginger is wise. We all knew that, but sometimes it needs repeating.

If I feel like I need a cathartic cry, I watch Lilo & Stitch. If I need a cathartic cry wrapped in a fancy stripey bow, I watch Big Fish.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Aww. Ginger. That sort of made me teary, too.

In other news I HATE MICROSOFT PUBLISHER!!! I hate it when people lay their stuff out in it and I have to make it pretty. Just tell me what you want and I will do it! Also, USE STYLES people!!!! Or possibly, use the university approved fonts so I do not have to change them textbox by text box

Ginger is wise.

Tep, I am so torn between reading every minute that I can because I am dying to know what happens next and just not picking the damn book up because I know it is going to rip my heart out. And eventually it will be over and I don't want that.

Also, took me a minute to parse UPS as not being part of the UP conversation...

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

And eventually it will be over and I don't want that.

That, too. I mean it's a lot of books, so I shouldn't be greedy, but...I am.

(Last Stand of Dead Men is the only SP book that I haven't re-read. I just give it the stinkeye when I see it on the shelf. I'll re-read it eventually, just...not for a while. And it's not that it wasn't good; far from it. That fucking book.)

I think I'm going to have to tank a build schedule in a meeting in 10. I'm sorry, if you cannot configure the test system so that I can acceptance test, I'm not letting you configure ops.

I know what you mean. ETA: that was to Tep. I do not really know what sarameg means, although it sounds reasonable.

There is a page in the back announcing that Derek Landry will be starting a new series in 2015. So there's that.
