And the peace of mind it cost

Rabbit, rabbit! I would have liked a more auspicious start to the month, but I had to mail some bills in the evening, so I took some pictures while I was out.



It was enormous and crepe-paper-textured and more bump-and-grind pink than my phone could capture in the shadow of the houses on the other side of the street. It looked more like a hollyhock to me than anything else, but I'll take suggestions. [edit] Per [personal profile] pameladean, hibiscus.



I miss strong Edward Hopper light on brick. Our old neighborhood, for obvious, post-industrial reasons, had a lot more of it.



These looked definitely more hollyhock-ish to me. They seem to be popular around here.

Brioche and liverwurst make a very nice sandwich from my perspective, but I think they may be confused by one another.

I finished! \o/ I'm a bit amused at myself because I was trying to approach it like Agatha Christie, but it's just all psychological and metaphorical and that's why people were just what they seemed to be or rapidly proved to be as it progressed.

I'm even more amused because it struck me after that, even though Mr Northam is the most horrible person in it, and has probably committed at least 2 1/2 murders, and very likely caused harm to small furry animals and maybe even children, the only actually really sinister things he does on screen is a) helping her find a lost baby and b) (most sinister) takes his jacket off and passes her some lemonade.

And then I watched some of the extras and that was when I realised that is so true they actually had to use the jacket removal in the trailer as his only dramatic moment: https://youtu.be/ANKJwH_Q7y8 (Me: I'm not sure that creates the right impression, lol.)

Anyway, apologies, I'm not even sure if you've watched this or not, although I think so???

I enjoyed that more than I expected to! I thought I'd like it, but it seemed to do nothing at the time, so I lowered my expectations accordingly, but I thought it was very interesting and, weirdly, didn't stress me out or upset me like that kind of psychological thing usually does for some reason. Maybe because I was so amused at the collective cast?
