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

Way to go, getting-rid-of-stuff people! I was pretty lazy today, still kind of sore and tired from yesterday (5k was hilly enough to kick my ass), just did what I felt like absolutely had to get done, but that did include taking out the garbage and recycling & cycling the cat's litter, so that is technically stuff out of the house, I guess. I plan to be more productive tomorrow. I love three-day weekends.

Huh, that's the part of the country where I grew up. I kind of miss those hills/mountains (I've been spoiled by the sub-range of the Rockies that I currently live against).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Dag - near me, the Coast Guard is selling a lot of 8 houses and the current bid is $620K. [link]

That seems like a good deal.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Paging Hec! Would you be willing to answer a few questions about pitching to the 33 1/3 folks? M submitted a proposal to them last year, which wasn't accepted, and is now wondering how best to retool/rethink it for the next round. Any chance you'd have some advice to offer?

Huh. It looks like Think Geek is selling T-shirts for $10 if you buy at least two of them (I can't see anything about a sale until checking out, then suddenly all the T-shirts are $10). Also there is a promo code 'GEEKDAY' for free shipping on orders of at least $30. If you've been wanting some T-shirts from Think Geek, it's apparently a good time to get them.

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

This house costs a bit more, but wow! [link]

The addition of olives and replacing the onion powder with actual onions has improved the enchiladas wonderfully. A nice dish to have in my repertoire.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Excellent post number, Connie.

Note to self: prunes are delicious but maybe next time don't eat quite so many at a time. Oops.
