Murder in Boston. Fuckfuckfuck.

So.

I now have purple-ish hair. YAY! :-D
Also there is Family Dinner tonight. I shall bring Riesling. Also, possibly, spelt-and-oat-flour chocolate-coconut trifle. :-)
(We'll see what kind of time I have once I get home. It may be a chocolate-mousse instead, since that takes like, 1 hour to make, solidifying time included. ;-)



In other, significantly LESS yay-inducing news:

NYC Sex-Worker Murdered in Boston.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand FUCK!

I mean, yes, from a *purely* personal PoV, my sweetie probably isn’t going to be targeted by this fucker – she doesn’t do Craigslist, for a start, and he doesn’t seem to be targeting tgirls.
But, on the other hand, (A) I could be wrong on that and (B) this is (at least) his second victim.

Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck.


If people with f-list folks in NYC/Boston/That-General-Area want to link to this and spread the word, that'd be good. (I mean, yes, there's a good chance that anyone in the area has already heard about this, but just in case?)
