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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Kidnapped is available online (in the US) here.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I just discovered that Ditaboo has moved from just scratching the couch to actually tearing pieces of fabric from the underside.

This does not make me happy, but at least the damage is where people can't see it.

Our wings are not tired.

I watched Kidnapped and was pissed when they pulled it. I would love to rewatch and see it in its entirety. My question is: were they able to wrap it up in 13 eps? I can't deal with stuff that has no proper ending; I still can't bring myself to watch Deadwood despite owning the DVDs.

Yes. That's why they continued to make the show after it was cancelled.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm thinking... the illegal and dangerous practice of riding your spaceship real close behind a bigger ship, and having sex while the quantum slipstream pulls you into hyperspace. It makes the orgasm seem to last forever.

I'm kind of surprised this wasn't a Farscape episode.

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

Good on them.

Sisto's partner is way cool. It's possible that it's way obvious what I just saw her do that prompts me to post that she's cool, but she was cool before that too.

Awesome, thanks! (about Kidnapped)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I have discovered the hilarity of Axe Cop, a comic written by a 5-year-old and illustrated by his 29-year-old brother. It's pretty awesome. Here are some sample lines:

So the new team went to the land of volcanoes and fought the gang of dinosaurs with their axe and flute.

So Telescope Cop and Uni-Baby went back to their secret lab and ate apples. Then they grew apple hands that could shoot apples.

"I got a unicorn horn from getting so smart."

"I need to go to the Weapon Store first."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

That reminds me of Matt Groening's Will & Abe cartoons.

I need apple hands that shoot apples.

And a Midnight Bomber Who Bombs At Midnight.

Okay, banana Alpen muffins in oven. Glad I finally got off my arse on that one. Not sure what my excuse was.
