Only a few days ago I was talking and joking with heartofdavid about Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh, and just now I heard that he was murdered this morning. This is so bizarre. I am very very upset now.

(...) and I discovered that dinners follow the order of creation - fish first, then entrées, then joints, lastly the apple as dessert. The soup is chaos.
