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.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Ha! I am having a horrible day compounded by although I am about to leave work, I will be waiting on the bus in something like 100 degree heat, downtown with no shade.

Coworkers are amusing me though. We have a whole communication chain on a last minute project that's being craxy making. My boss needed to be on the chain. Designer said he added her, but I didn't see her ticky box ticked, so I mentioned that I didn't see where she was added, and heard back from writer "YES, WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR DAMN LIES, D!" (Where D is the designer).

And now I brave the heat.

not your mom's socks.

I just made cold cucumber and avocado soup and am in love. The secret ingredient? Wasabi.

We had quesadillas from the toaster oven too. It was nom. Take that, dalek-stove.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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

OMG, we've had the same meeting four times today. Everything keeps going pear-shaped at the last minute, and then un-pear-shaped and then pear-shaped.

But now we're at un. So hopefully the guy who's been here since 6 can go home soon. And the other guy who only slept in 2 hour increments last night can go home soon too.

After the five o'clock meeting, that is.

I had Chipotle again. I forget why.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

MMMMMMmmmmmm All this food sounds good. I am having Italian bread, Virginia Baked Ham and cucumbers. I have "discovered" in all my 50's cookbooks that they often buttered bread instead of putting mayonaise on sandwiches, and I have to say it is pretty yummy.

And I FOUND MY PHONE!!!!!!

But as long as he doesn't make me watch Avatar, I think I can forgive him.

I remember having to tell my grandmother not to butter my bread for tuna sandwiches! And other sandwiches, I'm sure, but I feel like she mostly made me tunafish.
