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."

Alton Brown left Twitter

I didn’t leave Twitter because my wife started tweeting. I left Twitter because a parasitic troll fraudulently posing as my wife started tweeting. It even used a photo of my family as its avatar.

The way I see it, Twitter is like a big cocktail party. If I was at a cocktail party and someone puked on my wife’s shoes, odds are excellent that we’d leave. Does that mean I won’t attend any more cocktail parties? Maybe not. Maybe I’ll just have to figure out a way to host my own cocktail parties where people have to actually be accountable for their behavior.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, I am a mess. Slightly hungover, not enough sleep in a couple of nights, and now I can't stop sneezing. I should have stayed home. Also, two different people tried to make plans with me for tonight, and I was just like, "UGH, no thanks!" Because I am lame. And cranky. And sleepy.

Happy Friday, everyone!

I'm not hating life nearly as much as I should be today. In fact, pretty much the usual level for waking at 5:30. Helps that only my shoulder is doing the achin'.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

It's Friday! Well, for most of us.

What are people doing this weekend? I have no plans, other than resting and trying to replenish my spoon supply.

hip deep in pie

I am going to a folk festival and sleeping in my friend's tent trailer. I am off all next week with plans to do nothing, so woohoo!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have a lot of errands to do, just-made dim sum plans for tomorrow and a movie TBD. And giving blood on Sunday for the first time in forever.

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

I'm seeing Harry Potter! Finally! I've been going around all week with this quietly delicious Christmas Eve-ish anticipation swirling through my brain.

not your mom's socks.

I'm transporting people to and fro today. Tomorrow night, DH and I are going to a fundraiser for L.A. Banks' daughter.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm going to visit my parents tomorrow. We're going to Ponderosa in Green Bay for dinner. My parents love Ponderosa, but they don't drive anymore. Plus, I get to show off my new car.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I had my eyebrows done yesterday evening; they look terrific. And the eyebrow lady - who also does manicures - admired my DIY manicure. yay me

And, Cash, I've been reading the Black Dagger Brotherhood books. They're crack. (Also, she's trying to do for the letter "H" what Stargate did for the apostrophe.)
