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.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

Okay, I just read this on skirt lengths, and I violate just about every don't, with my thick ankles and below ankle skirts and front slits and wider than they're long skirts. Why do I look at fashion advice anyway? I just get hmmphy.

Art Crawl!!!

Scrappy: loved the review. Ask your dh if it came with an informative and instructive cd - my mother had one that came with a cassette that explained things like how to negotiate a v-shaped gully. We found it highly amusing.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

See, I read "I post it here ESPECIALLY for Aimee" and figured he was road-testing a camel.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Dear Scrappy's DH:

You are awesome and I love you. In a purely platonic, admire you for your writing skills as well as your fantastic taste in spouses kind of way.

Signed -
Would totally save all her pennies for decades to get a RR.

Michael Irvin gives a pretty fascinating interview with Out magazine. (Also fascinating, more shallowly, are the accompanying photos. Iliac crest alert.)

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Have you seen the Downfall Carmageddon video? It made me laugh. Not work safe due to the subtitles. It is in German, but I don't know what the actors are really saying.

That Michael Irvin interview is really interesting. Lots of personal growth. I can't imagine being the 15th child of 17 is easy. I can't imagine being any child of 17 is easy.

Our wings are not tired.

Yeah, Brenda, I read that yesterday and was really impressed. Which is saying a lot, since he's an ex-Cowboy!

I imagine if you were one of 17 you could get away with anything, if you were quiet about it.
