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.

One of the discoverers of planet Sex c is a Caltech professor named John Johnson.

I wonder how many guys there are with that name. I know two of them. Well, I've actually met one, who's a math grad student, and I've heard of one who's a DJ at some club in DC.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Do they come from Wisconsin? Did they work in the lumberyards there?

Super Capers - worst movie ever? Ugh. I need to be choosier in what I put on Mac's Netflix.

Super Capers - worst movie ever

I choose to believe this film is about capers with superpowers. Pickled perennials who fight crime!

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

FTR. ita is all capital F FAN Fannish McFan Fan, and we are just fans.

Oh, hello! I totally don't go to cons. For the record.

But I own my asterisk.

Unlike some FANS.

Unrelatedly, "solution" is not a verb. Seriously, people, stop it.

Excessive application of water has mitigated the OJ issue. However, next time I transgress it will at least be for non-reconstituted stuff.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That movie sounds awesome!

mac totally lied about reading a whole book today, so I started reading it and asking him about it. Guess who is FURIOUS! I am using this as an opportunity to talk about conscience and I've decided I'm seeing it as a good thing, even if he is fuming pile of boy.

I just gave myself a timeout from my boy. I'm in my room, blasting music and playing on the internet. Somehow I think this is backwards. But it is keeping him alive, so there is that.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Skippy dippy!

Needed to pick up my first-ever Zipcar at USC at 6:30am today in order to leave enough time to get to Irvine by 9am. I set the alarm wrong and woke up at 7:30am. Didn't get there 'til 8:15. Missed a turnoff and had to turn around on the fwy and the direction I NOW had to go in was the commute direction. Arrived at Irvine 10 min. late and the tractor/haywagon had already taken off on the tour. No one was allowed to walk or to drive into the field. Expensive rental of car now completely wasted. And I was short of sleep for nothing.

I did get to taste about a dozen different varieties of dragonfruit and I took loads of pictures. If I weren't so frickin' tired, I would have driven straight to Descanso Gardens just so I could go somewhere I can't normally get to due to my carlessness.

I have made Zatarain's jambalaya to soothe my affronted heart.

Hermanos! The devil has built a robot!

Sorry. That just came over me. I think it's time to go home.
