What are we now but voices
who promise each other
a life neither one can deliver
not for lack of wanting
but wanting can’t make it so.
We hang from a vine
at the cliff’s edge.
There are tigers above
and below. Let us love
one another and let go.

My shampoo is no longer being produced and I need more shampoo.

It needs to be perfume light, and ideally I should be able to get shampoo, conditioner, and body wash that don't clash with each other. I generally find that products marketed as natural are more likely to have scents that aren't overwhelming and don't make my eyes itch, give me a sore throat, or trigger a headache - but there's no guarantee there.

And, of course, it needs to get my hair clean, ideally without drying it out.

Help?

This weekend we're going to The Herbfarm for a super-fancy multi-course dinner. This is for a delayed joint celebration of the Stroppy One's 60th birthday (!!!) and Princess Tickybox's (the eldest godkid) 21st birthday (!!!). I love love love The Herbfarm, and 100% believe it's an experience worth having. I recognize that we're super-privileged to have gone as many times as we have; if you told me in my younger years (including up to my 30s) that I'd go for an insanely fancy & expensive meal not just once, but multiple times, I wouldn't have believed you. 

Related to going to The Herbfarm: I rewatched The Menu, because while The Herbfarm isn't as pretentious as the restaurant in the movie, it's similar. (Plus The Menu has become one of my favorite black comedies.)

Also related to going to The Herbfarm: I found this tutorial to turn a necktie into a fancy jabot, and now my replica Hannibal "murder tie" is in a form I will wear more often. However, I didn't use a glue gun, but carefully stitched the layers. Because wearing that tie to The Herbfarm is *funny*, dammit.

3. Do you have any favorite headcanons or fan theories?

4. Have you ever created fanworks?

5. Are you still active in any old fandoms?

One of the great things about Murder She Wrote is all of the actors doing terrible Maine accents. It never fails to amuse.
