"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

perfect murder

Hit your husband over the head with a frozen leg of lamb. Cook lamb and feed to detectives.

(Okay, that's an Alfred Hitchcock Presents plot, iirc.)

A few weeks into chemo I started falling asleep early and staying asleep. Those six months were the only time I haven't had insomnia in 30 years. I have idiosyncratic reactions to most drugs, so every antidepressant keeps me awake, as does codeine. Ambien, blessedly, works, but I got a new prescription last week that was clearly a different generic, and I've been falling asleep but waking up every couple of hours. Usually I fall back asleep, but sometimes my mind wanders to the complete suckitude my life is at the moment and then I'm wide awake.

I use the alphabet to fall asleep.

And now I'm even more scared of msbelle.

That's almost as scary as playing against her and her brother in Taboo.

I'm here all week.

Also, even funnier in person, people should come visit. I promise not to kill.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

the perfect murder

Every time I see that phrase, I think of Leopold and Loeb, who would have gotten away with killing Bobby Franks if Leopold hadn't dropped his glasses at the dump site. Turns out the nosepiece on his specs were a brand new product and only on three pairs of glasses in the Chicago area at that time.

Okay, that's an Alfred Hitchcock Presents plot, iirc

Written by Roald Dahl!

Because books.

I promise not to kill.

HOW CAN WE BE SURE?!

Also, I have that movie to send you. I think I'm getting to the post office later, too.

Hey, writery types... I need some drabble samples. Steph, you had a beautiful one I'd like to use about the first time you drank coffee. But I can't find it.

HELP! Of course I needed them an hour ago, but I have another class coming in.
