Uncovers unknown graves all stone-engraved

On top of the day-devouring exhaustion which was the hallmark of this weekend, I seem to have added a headache which I could be doing without, but [personal profile] spatch brought me a small painting on cardstock of a tuxedo cat from the arts market that meets at the Crystal Ballroom and we made burritos for dinner with black beans and very finely sliced steak tips, although next time we may need the next grade up of tortilla in that mine kept unraveling. [personal profile] rushthatspeaks described Barnabe Barnes' The Devil's Charter (1607) to me such that I cannot believe it has not been performed locally by one of the companies that make intermittent forays into revenge tragedy, since a poisoned bullet is one of the most Jacobean devices I have ever heard of. I did the laundry and Hestia did a creditable impression of a thing from M. R. James.

A poisoned bullet is a great way of guaranteeing your results! Though for best effects, a poison bullet that, if it doesn't encounter flesh, releases a cloud of poison gas would really seal the deal. (Hard on the innocent bystanders, though.)

Very sorry about the headache--hope by the time you read this comment it has receded. Or better yet, vanished entirely.
