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.

Thanks for all the fish.

More than just roots, I thought. Where her hair was braided you could really see a dark underside, like only the top layer of hair was bleached.

I want miniature cheeseburgers!

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

Ack. I'm all over-excited and having trouble concentrating on work. I got a phone call last night saying that my mortgage pre-approval is done, and I met with a real estate agent last week. Now I'm freaking out.

I haven't even looked at any houses yet, but that is soon to come. Ulp.

Hello! I must be going.

Hello Canadians! Hope you all made it OK through the storm.

There's an East-West Canada Smackdowngoing on at the Straight Dope Message Board I thought you might find amusing.

Thanks for all the fish.

Ouise, that is so eciting! I love house hunting.

I see that the other thread seems to consider Ontario the East.

Heh, yes. My friend Nico (from Alberta) and I had some discussions on that point. He seemed to feel that only the exact east-west midpoint of Canada could be referred to as "central Canada" and was very surprised that I did, in fact, know where that midpoint was.

I tend to consider Quebec and the Atlantic provinces "eastern Canada", Alberta and B.C. "western Canada" and Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan "central Canada", but the really important division is into "has a coastline" vs. "is unimportant" :)

Most people west of Quebec think of Atlantic Canada as a big national park.

Thanks for all the fish.

See, BC is 'pacific', AB, SK & MB is 'western' ON & PQ is 'central' and the Atlantic provinces are, ah, 'atlantic'... Though, I suppose one could lump Quebec and points East as 'eastern'.

Manitoba is generally not considered central because, well, Manitoba is generally not considered.
