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.

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

Is anyone watching Pitch? Structurally that last episode felt just like the West Wing ep Noel.

I'm 2 or 3 weeks behind on Pitch.

... and it looks like Twitter is down. Bah. Time for bed.

We decided to avoid Election Night madness and just bought tickets to go see Mad Max: Fury Road Black & Chrome Edition.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I continue to be worried about the Senate

I think Kander (the Dem whose assemble-a-rifle-while-blindfolded ad seriously pushed my competence kink buttons) has a good chance in Missouri.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You ever feel like you'll welcome a really bad cold or the flu because you'd get the spend several days in bed without feeling guilty about it?

So often! And then I try to remind myself that personal days and mental health days are legitimate. And then I get up and go to work, usually.

If I didn't have the interview today, I would have turned around and gone home as soon as I realized I left my food AND wallet at home. Great start to the week. But no, camped out in the cafe, I'll go get those things when I leave this building to go to my office.

Tomorrow the election ends and four solid years of congressional investigations begin.

Clothes are annoying. Every morning, because of social expectations and the weather, I have to put something on before I can leave the house. When I was a kid, the 21st century was supposed to have paper clothes that I could pull out of the replicator, put them on, then throw them away at the end of the day. Those and the flying cars. The future is disappointing.

Hush you! I really am hoping that Paul Ryan would prefer a gets things done legacy to an obstruction legacy.

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

I hear you on that, Connie. I fantasize about nanotechnology bots that will automatically drape me in appropriate clothing as I move through the world without requiring thought or laundry-doing on my part.
