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.

Grammar turned into formulas, of course I loved it. (Now, it didn't really help me with english grammar. I read so much my writing was intuitive. I don't think I really got a firm grasp on parts of speech until I started learning foreign languages.)

Holy shit, smonster. I would cast blame on New Orleans. Tell 'em to get a lawyer, because... hell to the no.

smonster,

do they have title insurance? that's the kind of thing title insurance is supposed to help deal with.

There should not have been a closing on the house if there was an outstanding mortgage. The title company could be (should be) sued.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

They can't figure out how the existing loan didn't come to light when they bought the house originally.

Just no. If a title search wasn't done to obtain a clear title when the loan originated, it's the title company's fault, not your friend's. Lawyer up!

So tomorrow afternoon my department is supposed to play kickball. I've elected not to play considering that it's going to be HOT tomorrow and I have a history of heat stroke. I'm already feeling not so great because it's been super hot for days, and I really don't want to be the one who passes out.

There's a 90+ degree heat wave headed for the Southeast. I'm going to the grocery in the early morning to stock up and I swear I'm not leaving the house except to feed the porch cat until it's over. Hunkering down like for a blizzard. I can't maintain in high heat.

I'm preemptively refrigerating my house. AC in the bedroom on energy-save at 69 took the moisture out of the already cool house (from the wonderful weather this weekend) today. I'm cranking it to full tonight and burrowing under the covers. I have 2 other ACs I can deploy, but the last hot week, the single one on this mode actually kept the house comfortable. Bedroom frigid, but I don't mind that. If I can get through the summer on one AC..well, I'll know I can do it.

I don't remember diagramming sentences. Possibly, like most things of a grammatically technical nature, I may have blocked it from my memory.
