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.

F2F5: I forget that everyone isn't us

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

How awesome would it be if Shir and I ended up staying in the Madonna Inn?

Woah. I can't imagine a better place to be murdered by a clown. I'm in! (Though, I'd prefer the less inside-of-a-cave-like rooms. The pictures alone brings out a being-buried-alive-in-a-rock-avalanche anxiety I never even knew I had).

I also saw your email, but won't have time to reply till later today. I apologize.

Epic, insent - thank you!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Can someone send me the link to the spreadsheet?

The Madonna Inn is awesome. My family stayed there once on a trip to California. (I think we started out in San Diego, and took maybe two weeks to drive to San Francisco, making a bunch of stops along the way.)

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

LAistas - for next weekend I'm leaning toward doing the Getty Center, rather than the Villa. I've beeen to the Villa before (though not since Middle School), and I don't have to commit to timed-entry with the Center. So unless anyone else really had their heart set on the Villa, all other things being equal, the Center it shall be.

I'll figure out/post details and specifics next week.

Oh, not sure when I'll hit town on the Friday (after 4, but other than that depends on when I get started and, of course, traffic) , but I'd probably be up for a casual dinner if anyone's interested. Also very interested in Sunday dinner before I head back to San Diego.

Let me know!

Hope everyone is enjoying the trip through the way-back machine that my new scanner is creating, in the FB group. :)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

THANK YOU MEARA'S SCANNER!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I am, too, meara!
