Yesterday I visited the Tango Criminale, a crime writer’s ball. Strange. A fine lady with blonde curls writes about bloody murder and a guy starts crying when he gets the prize for the best book.

Uh oh, half of the week gone and half of the paper I bought on monday too. Perhaps I should consult a drug-counselling service? I’m an addict, I’m afraid.

Perhaps frosty winter is a bad time to think about a model for my nude painting class, but I have to, because the 1st course starts end of the month and today my model told me she has no time.
