Oh, I forgot! The fact that rain was predicted made me take out my hand-sewn racing jacket and finally stay stitch the wrist hems, which have been unfinished for nearly 10 years now.
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.

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

Onerous task: completed!

Speaking of which:
CSULB Masters of Fine Arts student puts together an exhibit on the Art of Procrastination.
(trivia: CSULB is one of the only 2 colleges I applied to.)

Oh, I'm sure you could compose a letter or memo on the plane that needed doing.
Or, you know, just wait for the next randomly generated event.
(The parameters I'm using are: Between two weeks and a month, weekdays only.)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
What are people doing this weekend?
I'm going to go home, have some soup and a grilled cheese sandwich, and crawl into bed.

(Not saying he wasn't trying to start something. But he didn't create a scene in the airport.)
This. Plenty of other people have also used phones to record stuff happening at airports. That did not cause a problem. Tyner is clearly annoyed in the audio but he's basically polite. He tells the first screener that "It's nothing personal" while disagreeing with his argument that security is the only thing that matters.
I do understand that when you just want to get through and move on, anyone who slows things down gets an eyeroll because, ugh. But I think there's a difference between the people who are just clueless and the ones who say "No, actually, this is not okay, and here's why." I admire people who resist the social pressure to just go along with things, 'cause I probably would have failed the Milgram experiment.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, good one.
Weekend plans: I'm currently watching the TV ( drunk Bailey is killing me!), have plans to get my nails done tomorrow (+ errands), and possibly karaoke tomorrow night.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Still a bachelorette this weekend. I WAS planning on gardening, but it's supposed to rain all weekend, so I am going to do laundry and write. Going to the movies on Saturday and have to work on Sunday. Also missing my husband.

I assume part of the thinking behind the whole opt-out thing is not just to be a pain for TSA, but to slow things down so that more people will be upset and potentially complain about this, rather than blindly going along with the system.
