(a somewhat belated) Happy Birthday murph_grrl!

I am now a laundry-fu initiate.

My mother has just shown me how to do the impossible. I can fold a fitted sheet so that it lies _flat_.

And Dad is back with the Chinese takeaway! Hurrah!

Distinctly Unhappy About This

For those of you not up on Canadian crime news, allow me to tell you that Karla Homolka, one of the country's two most notorious serial killers (she and her husband Paul Bernardo raped and murdered several young women, including Karla's younger sister. Karla taped it all.) is being released from prison now that her twelve-year sentence is up. She has obtained a degree while in prison, and spent the last years in Joliette, a town near Montreal. She intends to live in Notre-Dame-de-Grace, in the western part of the island of Montreal. I have several friends who live in NDG.

NOT happy.

(I'm not inclined to think she's reformed at all. She was never considered for parole, which usually indicates that the prison does not consider someone capable of behaving themselves.)

There's a film coming out at the same time as she does. How bloody insensitive is that? It's called "Deadly" - please don't go see it.
