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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

OH! and mac heard some kid at school today say that if Obama is elected President he will make summer SHORTER!!!! I shit you not.

Ah! Now I understand the Nickelodeon poll of the kiddies that had Obama ahead by only two.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

a woman who cooked her way through the French Laundry cookbook?

I hadn't seen that particular one, but the Julie/Julia project spawned a lot of copycats.

They haven't used these images as much lately.

Not as visual aids, but playing the "9/11 changed everything" drinking game will still get you pretty hammered any time a Republican appears on TV.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

not only is Obama a Muslim terrorist Socialist non-American, he's going to take away your kid's summer vacation. Next up the kicking puppies and drinking the blood of unicorns.

I may just have to deck someone on my commute tomorrow.

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

He's a Muslim AND his "spiritual leader" is a racist preacher.

Coding and Sleeping

In Utah we saw tons of Obama signs.

In my area of town, I'm probably seeing about 5 McCain/Palin signs for every one Obama sign. In 2004 it was more like 10 Bush/Cheney to 1 Kerry/Edwards, so my informal sign poll looks promising as well.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

We've only got 2 Republicans at work, so we have lower our venting volume whenever they are around, other than that it's pretty much an anti-Bush/McCain free-for-all.

Mostly Obama stickers on cars and yard signs in my neighborhood. Only one or two lonely McCains.

The status is NOT quo.

I'm glad you and Lucy are home together, Brenda. Hang in there. It's hard, I know, but I promise it gets easier. {{{Brenda & Lucy}}}

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

Welcome home, Lucy.
