Well, the employment market for low-wage jobs is really tight, and I doubt too many people want to hire a PhD. Although Dillo did spontaneously suggest this morning that mr. flea's next job should be at Chuck E Cheese.
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.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I am irritated that some people on twitter are comparing Winehouse to Joplin and Hendrix.
Um, no. I liked a couple of her songs, but I doubt she is going to have the effect on music that Hendrix and Joplin did - despite the fact they all died around the same age.

eta on a related note, Nora, didn't you say you had some extra Mardi Gras beads?
GOD, so many. They are yours for the taking.

I kind of love this guy [link]
He was one of several people who took boats over to the island to pick up people hiding on the shore.
"I realized that me sitting there in the boat with my red helmet and yellow jacket would be a perfect target," he recalled. "I thought, well, we are here and we have some things to do and I am happy that we managed to get so many of the youngsters."

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I just had to promise myself a sushi lunch to get myself out of my inside pants and out of the apartment, which is sad, but at least now I have my prescriptions and am about to have sushi.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Okay, just finished watching the Tour. Spoilers:
Rock on, Cadel Evans! I was rooting for him.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I don't kind of love that guy, I think he's awesome. He and his like are why I don't climb a clocktower some days.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The guy at Best Buy told me about Amy Winehouse, which was really random. He was there to sell me hardware.
