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.

Spike's Bitches 49: As usual, I'm here to help you, and I... are you naked under there?

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Please keep us posted, Zen. Even though this is NOT the Iceland story we hoped you'd tell...

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Oh hell, Zen, I'm so sorry. Excellent care and swift healing to you.

The status is NOT quo.

Oh hell, Zen. I'm so sorry! Please do keep us posted.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

So...

Does Zen getting sacrificed to the Icelandic Volcano God help us out at all with this nut-job in the White House?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Thanks, guys, you make it better! Surgery was postponed until this afternoon. My sister is flying over. The next few weeks are going to suck. I want to go home but I won't be able to go upstairs to my bedroom!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

My appointment with the hand surgeon went well. Got a cortisone injection in my hand. He said that it takes a couple days to really feel the effects of it. For some people, it helps, and then that's it. For others, it helps for a few weeks, but then it gets worse again, so I've got a follow-up appointment in a month to see how I'm doing. At that point, I might need a second shot. He said that about 70% of patients get better with the shots, but if I'm part of the other 30%, then I'll need surgery, but it's a pretty minor surgery.

Sending much love and healing to you, Zen!
