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

Yes, I feel that I am honoring ita's memory by definitely not clicking on that link.

I get a strange sense of meh about having a bunch of armed folks taking over a federal building with gift shop. Maybe it's just too expected.

Maybe it's just too expected.

Though it's a useful illustration of "Why aren't they being attacked by SWAT teams? Is it because--they're white??" (said in the Church Lady's voice)

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Okay massive dose of perspective, I no longer give a rat's ass about the idiots in Oregon.

Just got a call from one of my bosses, my friend at work who was sick died. I am so sad, for so many reasons. Evidently her family has asked if they can talk to me about her, but I think I'll have a cry first.

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

I'm so sorry, Burrell. Take care of yourself first, definitely.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, Burrell, I'm so sorry.
