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.

Certainly one possibility. My first thought was porn.

I get to learn how to light the pilot light on my water heater before my shower today. Yay new skills.

If my house explodes, please lie to my insurance companies.

Our wings are not tired.

-t was on the phone with me talking about charitable works far away from the water heater when the house exploded.

House is not exploded. Gas is apparently off, no idea why. So that's fun.

Cold showers for you, missy!

Can you be allergic to mulch? Because I woke up feeling like death yesterday after helping move a giant pile of mulch in Golden Gate Park on Saturday morning. I'm still feeling crappy, so I'm working from home today.

-t, can you check to see if they've turned off the gas in your neighborhood for some reason?

Are you allergic to mold? Mulch can harbor mold spores if it's not totally dry.

Well, the mulch was steaming, so it definitely wasn't dry. And I am allergic to mold, so I think I have my answer.
