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.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

How do you all pronounce "sepulcher"?

Wow, that's a lot of cabinets, -t. Eek.

I realized I forgot to cancel the NEXT blue apron delivery. Or adjust it or whatever. Oh well. I loved one of the three dishes, thought the other two were just OK (and one of those was fine, but the proportions were all off, in terms of veg/starch/meat).

Now feeling super lazy. I'm supposed to go dance later. Which I want to do. But I also don't want to move from the couch. (...and never mind going RUNNING, which I also should do...)

Happy birthday, shrift!

So, I'm thinking about registering to board a cat through Dogs on Deployment. Grace often talks about wanting a cat and getting to have one for a limited amount of time might do the trick.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ooh, that's a cool idea.

I finally made it to the movies! And saw Spotlight, which was great.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Spotlight is one my top five list, for sure.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That sounds like a good idea, Kat. I guess they have some cats who are used to kids and dogs and whatnot who need a place to stay.

Drawer guides are the worst. The list of things I hate about my kitchen is getting long.

The status is NOT quo.

Spotlight was an amazing movie. I took my journalism students to see it, and we were all blown away. Also angry. Really, really angry.

Happy Birthday, Shrift! May this be your happiest and healthiest year yet.

Laura, which vegan challenge are you doing? I'm so IN.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Because I am a giant dork I made a spreadsheet of movies from two Oscar prediction lists mapping out what is nominated for what. I did not put on every movie on their lists and I still ended up with 49.

Our wings are not tired.

This one, bonny. [link] I've done it before. Some days like today I eat out, but it is easy enough to work that in. We chose a Japanese buffet tonight to go out with various visiting family and there were many great options. My health situation makes vegan the best choice.
