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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I've been wanting to try that fasting diet for a while, but not sure I want to try it for Lent per se. But I may use Lent as a motivator. Only problem is I don't want to fast two days a week, it sounds hard. (whine whine whine)

I was prepared to sign up for stupid tumblr, but my username is taken.

Yeah, good luck with that. It took me a ton of tries to find something that wasn't taken.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Go team long phrase!

Good news in Chicago. Pet stores are now banned from selling animals - they can only offer adoptables through rescue groups and shelters.

Teppy, where is a good fish fry? This seems like the kind of thing we need to try. (I totally regret not getting packzi yesterday - I might have seen the zip-lining tiger girl from Greenpeace!)

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

flea, I hear St. Francis de Sales in Walnut Hills has a great fish fry, but I've never been. I know St. Mary in Hyde Park has a fish fry, but I think it's only 2 Fridays (as opposed to every Friday in Lent). St. James in White Oak is supposed to be really good, too.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

That's fantastic news, Brenda! Makes me smile.

My LJ/DW username is so unpopular I never had a conflict with other users, so I just used it for Tumblr as well. It was already in use on Twitter, though--how rude!--so I came up with something silly on the spot. Not that I tweet much, or at all, really. The fic LJ is something else, and I didn't get my preferred spelling. But that turned out in my favor after all, so I'm pleased. Here, DWS, and FB are all my real first name, so.

This too shall pass.

Random, my sister went to St. Francis de Sales High School, in Utica though, not Cincy.

Oh, fish frys at the Grange hall! So damned good. The history of the Grange is interesting, collectives for farmers. I wonder if the Grange hall is still there back in my old township.

Ha, I was told the West Side was the only place to go for real fish fry! DeSales is a good lead, though. (There is a nice, really cheap house right off Woodburn that I've been admiring, but I am really undecided about that neighborhood, too. If we didn't have kids... but then, if we didn't have kids buying a 6br house would be very silly).
