Wednesday Weirdness
Oh hi there! Let’s get the weirdness started with a book I just finished: This was a unique spin on a classic murder mystery. It was recommended by Meredith on Currently Reading podcast, and she compared it to Anthony Horowitz’s mysteries. The unusual thing about this book is that the author regularly breaks the fourth wall, addressing the reader directly, talking about classic murder tropes and the history of the genre. I liked it! It was a good mystery with lots of promise, and I liked the asides from the author… UNTIL THE END. This was the third time in one month where I had to google “What happened at the end of…” What is going on? Are super confusing endings a new fad??? Anyway… the ending made a lot of people angry. I had to think about it for a little, but I decided I liked it. It was definitely not what I expected, and that’s something… right? Moving along. Muffin seems to have recovered completely from her illness, although she still can’t meow (that’s kind of weird, right?) As a matter of fact, she’s recovered so much that she seems to think she’s owed a week’s worth of meals that she missed, and is begging for food constantly. Actually, we were kind of hoping this would set off a weight loss journey for her. Now- we never, ever fat shame the cats, but let’s just say Muffin could live off the fat of the land for quite a while. She’s perfect exactly the way she is, but for health reasons it would be good if she lost just a little weight. Let’s talk about my daughter, Angie. I have a new nickname for her- she and her friends are very amused that in a show they watch, there’s a character named “Angie Fierce.” That is SO FUNNY, and well, it’s perfect. I mean, if the character were named “Angie Sweet” well… let’s just say it wouldn’t fit at all. Anyway, Angie Fierce has grown out her bleach and color-damaged hair, and is ready to start all over again with hot pink. She’s lived with plain old brown long enough, I guess. Not sure if the hair will be dyed before or after Homecoming, which is this weekend. Updates to come! Anything weird going on with you lately? Top photo by Dan Parlante on Unsplash
