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.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The dog is clearly used to living in a house. I improvised a leash and took him outside. He sniffed, peed on a bush, noticed that it was still cold and wet, and dragged me back to the door.

OK, this is amazing--a DC voting map, and it shows that there's one section that voted 99.5% for Obama. Damn. (I'm wondering if that other person voted for Romney, or a third party)

Happy birthday, Jessica! I hope you can get a nap in soon.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Loving this. Petition to have Macy's stop selling Donald Trump merchandise (yeah, I didn't know it was a thing either): [link]

meara,

apparently there are 59 precincts in Philly where not one person voted for Romney.

Thanks Glam!

I am a very good Macy's customer, but I'm thinking of not being one until they get rid of that asshole.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sheryl, I hope they figure out what's up with Nova!

apparently there are 59 precincts in Philly where not one person voted for Romney.

I just scanned unofficial Boston lists, and there was one precinct that only had one Romney vote, but it only had 21 votes total. A bunch more had fewer than ten, though.

Favorite comment about the P4/Broadwell mess:

On paper, Ms. Broadwell's pedigree is quite impressive. As in the case of the woman astronaut who drove cross-country in a diaper, educated does not necessarily mean either ethical or sane.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yay ita having a tea she likes?

Cautiously optimistic: UPS just called me to confirm when I'll be home tomorrow. (Which information I gave her on Friday, but whatever.)
