Today I sorted through a bunch of comics, cleaned litter boxes, scrubbed the stovetop and my bathroom sink, swapped out my old grungy toilet brush and plunger for new versions, swept the office area of the loft, brushed about half a cat out of a 3x5 rug, did grocery shopping, and took a bag of summer tomatoes to my parents. I think that's enough productivity for one day.
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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Cheesecake update: recipe is a winner, if you like that kind of spongy Japanese cheesecake, but I need to work on my technique as it was a bit lumpy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Or maybe Franny needs to work on her technique! I mean, if it's her project.
I'm going to NYC briefly this week for a grad school alumni meeting, and just remembered I need somewhere to stay! So as usual, I panicked on Priceline and have what looks like a decent room in a not that convenient location. I mean, it's a good location for many things, but not perfect for my needs. Ah well.

I find this unbelievable ... and yet it seems to be real.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I didn't read to well, and I just thought it was unfortunate and part of the venue (we have red, orange, green, yellow, silver and purple elevators where I work). That looks like it was hung by the actual convention!

I'm hoping it was a prank?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I also assumed it was part of some kind of color-coding thing, and that there were also red elevators and blue elevators somewhere else.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
My guess is what Sophia said -- it's a huge venue, and the elevators are color coded, and it's an unfortunate coincidence that some are color coded white.

Quite possibly. However, on top of THIS, it kind of sends a message.

Yeah, I get that. Plus Trump is a racist jackwagon. That makes "white elevators" sound like something the GOP cooked up for the convention. But I think it's just unfortunate coincidence.
