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.

I enjoy being able to be like "oh I think I have a [cable/battery/sharpie/piece of cloth] for that!" and having a lot of stuff. BUT, I think the key is I'm not attached to the vast majority of it. I have a lot of bakeware, but I'm not attached to that particular bakeware, just like having it handy. So I feel like if I needed to, I'd be fine without the vast majority of the stuff. My issues are mostly regarding clothes/shoes, which are a little harder to replace with exact/very similar things, sometimes.

Had zoom book club this morning--only five of us on, and only one had finished the book--I got halfway, and another person was like, a chapter away from the end. We're usually better than that! I miss book club in person with pastries and mimosas and hanging out.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh wow, Lisa, I can't imagine having to move that quickly! I have told my mother not to worry about cleaning out the attic because when she dies, I'll just hire a dumpster and some movers, but that wouldn't work if she were moving!

Punishingly Intricate

Their house isn't on the market yet so we will have time to move out stuff they aren't bringing to their apartment.

Thrive to spite them

So I don't have a kid info dumping about anime or Minecraft but I have M who has been giving me a whole rundown on the pros and cons of this character in Diablo 3 . I've never played this so I don't know anything. And I just keep saying "mmhimm. " and "sure"

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

Fucking Tom Brady.

I have no idea what prompted you to say that Dana, but I agree.

They pay me in WOIMS

I don’t follow football at all, and I agree, Dana.

Our wings are not tired.

Yes, Dana is on point no doubt.

I thought I could depend on Green Bay to beat him.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Another weekend gone, and nothing to show for it.
