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.

Exactly - more songs for mac to memorize.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Including the Preamble to the Constitution, which should come in handy in sixth grade, if his experience is anything like mine.

I was surprised at all the people bringing their own bags in Las Cruces, at the Albertsons. I mean, it's never been a hotbed of recycling either (not counting cans.) But I'd say at least 25% of customers were carting their own bags. I don't know what the Walmarts (a lot of people grocery shop there now- it's driven out a lot of other groceries) look like.

I don't see that around here much.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

We've been bringing our bags for years, but I'm still really inconsistent about it. The SO does better than me, which is good, cause he does more of the grocering than I do anymore.

Wal-Mart is just now rolling out "sustainable" bags. Don't ask why I know this.

You want to see Dark Ages? Come to Chicago. No city-wide recycling at all. And the only place I see people with their own bags is at Trader Joes. Not too many even there, really.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

There's no city-wide recycling here either. Even New Orleans had it before the storm, though I doubt it's back in place yet.

I end up using the plastic bags for scooping the litterbox. There is probably a better solution.

I've been taking bags pretty regularly for 5-6 years. I generally have a bag of some sort as I do random errands around the hood too, hardware store/drug store/whatnot and probably refude bags about 50% of the time. Today I had a return and UPS shipment in an old paper shopping bag, so I used it for the merchandise I got at 4 different stores.

Me too. I wish I didn't need them, but I can't think of anything else that works.
