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.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I just got back from dinner with some Chicago-istas (Tommyrot, Shrift, Aurelia, and Miriam), and (I think) a great time was had by all! I managed to get a parking spot two doors down from the restaurant (on Devon on a Saturday night, this is quite the feat!). Even better for me was that I did soooo well in terms of what I ate--I did splurge on the garlic naan and ate way too much of that, but for the entree I only had a bowl of mulligatawney soup. Yay, me!!

Now, I just have to change into my sweats and work out tonight.

Edited to wave at aurelia--thanks again for organizing the dinner!

Thanks, Betsy! When I get my life back in order (went to see a condo today and the guy damn near offered to trade the condo for my house), let's get together!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What kind?

The weird thing is that it's not really specific. Ting or Kola Champagne, mostly. Pineapple D&G will do in a pinch.

My current finger splint is about to give up the ghost. I will miss it--I haven't found the same style in my pharmacy hunt yet.

Wish me house-ma. I'm going to look at a little house in a great neighbourhood tomorrow. It seems to be decorated in little old lady right now, but I am hoping it will be a good fit for me.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

AUGH.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, no kidding, Dana.

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

I am so close to getting out a paper bag to breathe through.

Hope the house is suitable, Sue.
