The lemon, not the lemon rind

Bad thing that happened today: for the first time, one of our cats did something truly disgusting. Murphy's Oil Soap was required in the cleanup. I have told Hestia that she has forfeited all of her purrycat points.

Good thing that happened today: a package from elisem arrived in the mail. It's the pendant "Domovoi, I Came Back!" It's a present from papersky. I had no idea it was on its way until Elise wrote to double-check my address. Thank you! Have a dreadfully blurry photo because that's what my phone is like.



Good wins.

(P.S. Theatre@First's The Mousetrap is fantastic and deserves a writeup when I have time, but until then just get tickets for next weekend, all right? I am delighted that opening night still startled audiences in Somerville, sixty-three years after Christie asked audiences in London not to give the denouement away.)

I vividly remember watching the movie version of Mousetrap with my mother and both of us jumping to our feet in surprise.

How wonderful that people still get to have that reaction.

I didn't realize there was a movie version! Who's in it and when was it made?

How wonderful that people still get to have that reaction.

It made me very happy.

Oh no! I have been wrong all these years! It was actually "Deathtrap" (Christopher Reeve and Michael Caine).

Now I'd like to see that again.
