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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Not full on vintage or all pink, but make the livingroom my kitchy room. Maybe I could do it pink or partially pink?

Or aqua! But agreed, something that ties into the kitchen would make sense.

I had been thinking about doing my bedroom all pink and silver and sparkles, but I think those elements would better tie in to the kitchen. SOOO, I am going to start playing around. See what I already have and can use, what I can get rid of.

I am going stream of conscious this to you all day. Cause apparently that is what my anxiety looks like today. YOU ARE WELCOME.

First thing is moving all the bookcases into this room. 2 are still in the front room.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I've felt like I'm fighting a cold for over a week (though it seemed to go away a few days ago, but then yesterday it came back) AND today a migraine wants to start because of this stupid weather. And then we had a storm and lost power for 2 1/2 hours.

I am eating tater tots for dinner and about to watch Mean Girls while Tim camps with his family.

again, I am not sure why you all do not live in the hood and can't come over.

(also there are 2 houses within a block of me for sale if anyone wants to be neighbors for the next 3-4 years). Joking aside this would be a not horrible place to retire/relocate for a bit b/c it is cheap, central to lots, and 15 min to a Int'l airport.

She does provide excellent airport taxi service!

I think it is time for me to get rid of some books. Easiest cull is old books that I bought because they are old, but I am not a book collector, so kinda silly. I will never read them, for fear of damaging.

I've become very draconian about books. If it's a mass market paperback that I don't want to keep, it goes in the recycling bin. Non-fiction that's either current or of general interest (Hubby's dinosaur book collection) goes to the thrift store.

I've got a couple of pulp things and a handful of hardcover novels from the 30s and 40s. Then a dozen or more Young Reader Classics types from the 50s.

2 books tossed, 17 to take to half price. I eliminated double stacked books on 1 whole shelf.

If I get back to reading and tackle the kids/ya books, I might be able to clear off another half shelf in a bit (assuming I will not want to keep most of the ones I read).

Speaking of reading things, does anyone here digital subscriptions to Marvel comics? Do they come out the same day they do on paper? Do you get them through Marvel Unlimited?
