Kids, if you ever find yourself in a life or death struggle with a psycho killer, and you manage to knock him down, don't just stop hitting him and run away. Kick him in the throat, ribs, and groin until he stops moving, THEN run away. The same goes for werewolves, Amway salesmen, and date rapists.

And don't fight fair, no matter what the circumstances. If the schoolyard bully/would be rapist wanted to keep his teeth and testicles, he shouldn't have targeted you. The object of self-defense is to minimize harm to your own person; the bodily integrity of your assailant is at best a minor consideration. (The obvious corollary to this is, if _you_ start the fight, you deserve whatever happens to you. Not that I think any of _my_ nieces or nephews would start a fight.)

I'm down to the last pile of paperwork. All of it's stupid administrivia that no one will ever read, but it's still got to be done. Yet, I feel.... uneasy. By getting all caught up with my busywork, it's almost like the gods are wrapping up whatever 'surprise' they have for me. The calm before the storm is coming to an end. Or maybe the surprise will be "Nothing". Boy, that'd show me. What kidders the gods are, heh heh... :-/
