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.

That which does not kill you should RUN

I want a mascara that just makes my lashes darker. They don't need to be longer or thicker or look like false lashes.

The mascara I use (this one: [link] just makes my lashes darker (I think! it doesn't claim to make them longer or thicker or whatever, and they just look darker to me).

I really wish I'd get over this whole "painkillers are a sign of weakness" mindset. I tell myself "Hubby dealt with worse," then I remember he treated the pain center's list of "Have you ever taken these drugs?" as a Yahtzee card (he was kind of disappointed he never got to check that last box for marijuana).

If I take care of the hip pain, I can walk normally, which makes it easier for the hip to resettle itself. Stupid brain Puritans.

My flight to Chicago has been delayed and then delayed again. If I actually make my flight to SF, I won't land until 1:15am. I guess I'm working from home tomorrow.

They shut down the cafe inside the terminal and I'm pretty sure they also turned off the wifi. Regional airports are hilarious.

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

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

They turned off the wifi? Heathens.
