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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I am totally unsurprised.
I guess I'm a little predictable....

I think an Arduino could be to me what electronics sets and Fischer Technik were not.

I had an electronics set as a kid. I never got beyond following their instructions to make stuff - I tried to design my own circuits but they never worked. I think I was confused about the different types of transistors.

I've recently read some books on elementary electronic circuits, and suddenly they make more sense.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

On a NYC local TV show, I assume?

Indeed -- he's the morning anchor on NY1, the local news channel. If you watch How I Met Your Mother, it's where Robin supposedly works.

I got very, very wet.

I'm assuming this is not a reply to Trudy's post.

ETA: SPP x-post!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

On a NYC local TV show, I assume?

NY1, the lovably low-budg local news channel. Home of Morning Papers and Roger Clark [link] the least likely newsperson in a major market ever.

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

I think I had the electronics set in that very picture. I got confused when we had to make things oscillate. But code? I can totally code.

Taken out of context, that could go after Trudy's post too....
