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 then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Awesome. I wish I could say I did that on purpose, but....

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Stephen is no longer surprised when I say, "Yeah, I know someone who makes cigar-box guitars," or "...someone who went to Moldova" or "...someone who's a law librarian," or whatever. He now assumes that if you're a Buffista, you just know everybody.

Whenever Tim needs to research something, he tells me to ask the Buffistas first.

Tim is wise.

Heh. "Wise Tim" makes me think of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I really need to concentrate better today.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

My face is acting like a fucking barometer for this storm. Uhg.

One of our beloved developers is leaving. We may have to put the entire team on suicide watch.

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

It's snowing like a mofo again.

At least I took the train to work today, so I won't be stuck behind a Prius going 10 mph on the way home.

Ann, that's a ferret.

"Wise Tim" makes me think of Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

I spent 4 years with a Tim (not Steph's Tim, I'm sure) in the next office. My mind went to Monty Python more than once.
