Much as I love the cats, the constant death gets wearing by the time September comes around.
This is the cutest little baby mouse that was dumped unceremoniously by the back door this evening, by the Killer Queen herself.
There was another one at the top of the stairs, by our bedroom door, so I guess this one was left out as a warning to the others...kinda like Omar's boyfriend in Season One of The Wire.
Have you seen The Wire? Best TV show ever...in fact it's an insult to call it a TV show.
Although set in Bodymore, Murderland (Baltimore, Maryland), it's Dickensian in its keen wit and sharp societal observation, epic in terms of both scope and drama, and packed with some of the best characters ever written...
There's Omar of course, and Bubbles, and McNulty and Bunk...Avon and Stringer Bell, Prop Joe and Cheese...Ziggy and Prez, Herc and Carver and Kima, Daniels, Rawls and Burrell...D'Angelo and Brodie and Poot and Wee-Bey and Wallace...
Not forgetting Slim Charles, Cutty, Marlo, Bunny, Carcetti, Snoop and Freamon.
Oh man, what a great show, I'm so nostalgic for it.
Going full circle, who remembers the episode where a drunken Bunk is recounting the tale of how his wife had called him home because there was a mouse in the closet? Bunk ended up shooting the poor little thing with his service handgun (and taking out one of his wife's shoes in the process)...
Now I think about it, that's where I got the line above from, the one about leaving it out as a warning to the others.
How odd that this post has gone on such a curiously circuitous route, only to end up folding back in on itself....from dead mouse to The Wire to The Wire to a dead mouse...it's like one of those endless mobius strips, looping in on itself into infinity.
Best not go back to the beginning and start reading again - you could be here until eternity...and whilst this blog can provide a moment's fleeting amusement now and then, there's definitely not enough substance to last you forever.
Just don't do it...
