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.

Gud, that's awesome!

Wee Jesse=adorable. That is an AWESOME picture all around.

In retrospect, I think I like the 70s better than the 80s or 90s (I feel like the 90s were kind of like an 80s hangover?).

That's great, Gud!

I had home style (i.e., fried) tofu and veg today, before seeing The Artist with amyth and another friend. Both dinner and the movie were lovely.

Thanks all. Now we'll see if my car had hold together long enough to save up enough cash for a replacement without financing.

Gud, that's great!

I have a soft spot for 80s Goth fashion, no surprise. But the resurgence of shorts plus tights makes me shake my head. Kids! Learn from your elders' fashion mistakes! Also, leggings are not pants!

I'm driving a soon to be 15 year old car with only 108K on it. Considering I drive probably under 40 miles a week on average, it better hold together a good long while. Which means... it'll be OLD, please.

But the resurgence of shorts plus tights makes me shake my head.

Aw, I have a fondness for those outfits. Jean shorts, but still. Don't think I'd wear them again, but ...I have renewed my fondness for tights. I need some stripey tights again. Skirts+ tights (or thigh highs) + boots are proving more practical for this cold weather than I used to think. Especially when I put on a pair of bike shorts under it all when doing thigh highs (which I really prefer to tights, which fall down these days.) Just the right amount of draft protection.

My car is 18 years old with 199,800 miles on it and I drive 110 miles every workday. Hoping it holds together is not a hypothetical.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Yay, Gud!!! That is very cool!

My (usually 50-60 minute) commute took 3.5 HOURS today. I left school at 2:40 and got home at 6:15. That sucked.

sarameg, if you want stripey tights or thigh highs, check out welovecolors.com. They have something like 45 different color combos.

Mostly I want black and grey, which pretty easy to find but thanks for another source! I wear a lot of black and grey.
