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.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

DH has asked me to ask y'all whether wishing someone a Leonard Cohen Valentine's Day is a good thing or a bad one, or just confusing.

I love Leonard Cohen, but he can't be called cheerful. He's not a man for happy endings. Or middles. Or beginnings.

Jack White produced Loretta Lynn's album.

In the absence of a heart-shaped cookie cutter, the only thing I can think of is cutting out a heart of cardboard and cutting around it with a knive, or bending a round cookie cutter. If it's any help, I know from making heart-shaped cakes that a heart is a square plus two half circles.

Apart from sports, "my secret favorite thing on earth is ketchup. I will put ketchup on anything. But it has to be Heinz." - my husband, Michael Vartan

HELP! I have lost my heart cookie cutter and we are in the midst of making V-day cookies! Anyone know how to do a simple heart shaped cookie cutter type thingy?? :(

The best idea I can come up with is drawing it with a knife. Or maybe you could try making a cardboard heart cookie cutter, and just clean up the edges that won't slice very neatly with a knife. Or you could just make regular round cookies using a cup or something, and then decorate the top with hearts-- if you don't have frosting, you could cut out a heart shape in paper, and use that to keep the edges clean when you drop sprinkles, or even just sugar on top.

ETA: Darn it. If I wasn't so wordy, I could've beaten Kat.

Steph, those earrings ROCK. I wonder if I could make a pair?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

What Kat said, minus the wondering if I can make a pair, since I know I can't.

I wondered the same thing. You can get miniature books from dollhouse supply places.

Courtney is very good with whatisname -- former ComaBoy from Everwood.

John Mayer (Mayor?) is very tall.

And Lisa Marie Presley is so tiny she makes the guys from U2 -- even the Edge -- look tall.

with a jump and a earring thing, it would be super easy to make.

So good. (he was Colin on Everwood). I wasn't liking her before, but I'm sort of loving her now. She's like coming into the story and being interesting as opposed to deadly boring.

Exactly!

Did you find the talking heads intrusive this week? I kind of did -- after not having them -- well, I want to say for a while -- but I think I just haven't been watching J&B repeats so really since the last new one before last week.

The flash forwards aren't as often anymore. But yeah, it was a little intrusive.
