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.

hwæt

I'm just about ready to kill the passive-aggressive coworker who has been answering his email with nothing but "It's lower down in the email" and "I'd not care to comment" today. Just answer the fucking question already.

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

What a fucking Bartleby!

Bleh, Nora! Will the grocery store deliver?

Well, half assed googling got me this, [link] which makes me suspicious due to crappy web design. I don't have the wherewithal to parse it though.

That is truly fucking lame. What the fuck is wrong with him?

I'm getting the pig!

JZ - I have this DeLonghi espresso machine and I haven't had any issues with it. We got it over a year ago and I use it almost daily. And it's MUCH cheaper now than it was a year ago, too.

Our Delonghi is the one that just died.

Hey, the RSC has done a musical version of Matilda.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Calling your local market might be worth doing. I don't know! It just seems like grocery delivery is both an old school AND a new school thing to do.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Nicole, hmmm. Our just-crapped-out one is also a DeLonghi, but a steam driven machine with a lot more plastic in it than yours. It may be time to give up and go for a pump machine (or one of the little really-truly Italian stovetop ones).

Oooh, the history of girl gangs in London.

Aw, you're so passionate about delivery! Love it.
