Regarding Booked for Murder [my attempt at writing fan fiction], things are beginning to become a little less weird. The plot is still rather odd [think Agatha Christie writing an episode of due South with some help form Paul Gross on acid] and the suspects are still strange [uh, why is there a ghost-spotter in the line-up?] and the clues are odd ( Read more... )

This is a short and unexciting post about my biscornu. Today has been light on the brane!hate and I got to do things [besides stitching] including cleaning the budgie out. This is my thrilling life of vicarious thrilling. Hopefully, the picture is clearer this time.
