Opened a packaged chocolate truffle only to find a misshapen, congealed, mess of cocoa.  To boot, stratified layers of brown and white had a bubbly texture, horrifically reminiscent of mold.  Several moments were allotted to consider the repercussions of consuming moldy chocolate before I thought the better of it and engulfed it all.

And, a realization. If I someday find myself in a situation wherein euthanasia is preferred to life, please note that my preferred method of death is the consumption of chocolate laced with poison.

lacuna

to write and to read

the original bread and butter strung together words

rifled through pages part and parcel of this here being. always the departure

always the return

I have decided that what I absolutely cannot be in life

is an older-than-I-am-now woman whose crayola eyebrows can be spotted from a mile away.

Time to stop messing with my eyebrauz

Aomame looked at her watch and stood up. There was still some time left until sunset, but already a hint of evening marked the sky--a different blue mixed in with the blue of the afternoon.

"According to Chekhov," Tamaru said, rising from his chair, "once a gun appears in a story, it has to be fired."

"Meaning what?"

Tamaru stood facing Aomame directly. He was only an inch or two taller than she was. "Meaning, don't bring unnecessary props into a story. If a pistol appears, it has to be fired at some point. Chekhov liked to write stories that did away with all useless ornamentation."

Aomame straightened the sleeves of her dress and slung her bag over her shoulder. "And that worries you--if a pistol comes on the scene, it's sure to be fired at some point."

"In Chekhov's view, yes."

"So you're thinking you'd rather not hand me a pistol."

"They're dangerous. And illegal. And Chekhov is a writer you can trust."

"But this is not a story. We're talking about the real world."

Tamaru narrowed his eyes and looked hard at Aomame. Then, slowly opening his mouth, he said, "Who knows?"

let's get wreck-less

[snprickett-blog]

You don’t owe prettiness to anyone. Not to your boyfriend/spouse/partner, not to your co-workers, especially not to random men on the street. You don’t owe it to your mother, you don’t owe it to your children, you don’t owe it to civilization in general. Prettiness is not a rent you pay for occupying a space marked ‘female’.
