I'm glad you and B-boy are okay, Bonny. Best recovery luck to your friend-neighbor.
JZ, sending all the strength and coping vibes I can summon to you.

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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

It gives a whole new meaning to the term “blood diamond”! Now, boys with terrifyingly fangirly fiancées can give their one-true-love -- you know, the one who’s more in love with a fictional vampire than with the not-undead man right in front of them -- the engagement ring of their dreams:

“Not dead yet!”
Need hivemind help--
Sentence from MS:
Not completely following, I leaned forward and focused on the screen, watching myself, a shimmer white dot amidst swirling color and movement.
Copy editor changed amidst to amid. Any reason I shouldn't just stet it?
Never mind-- I think I just answered my own question. It's the first entry in Merriam-Webster.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG OMG. I was just offered a job. At slightly less than I was making before to start, to go up to what I was making before in 4-6 months. It's really a minor difference. Of course, I was hoping to get a bump up, but Boston v. NYC, blah blah blah. I can't figure out how much of an issue I should make of the salary thing. Ask that the goal amount be higher?

WOOHOO JESSE!!!!! Good luck w/ figuring out the negotiations. I think asking that the goal amount be higher seems reasonable.
