7.23.25 - When I rewrote my opera, I changed the lead to a raven who had laser eyes, lived in a nest made of barbed wire, and enjoyed bottles of water.
(Honestly, what ISN'T improved by adding laser-eyed ravens drinking bottled water?)
7.24.25 - I had to quake with fear when I realized that the villain planned to, at the very least, frame the ocean for all his crimes.
(So, tell me, Pacific Ocean, where were you on the night of the 18th? And let me remind you that you are under oath...)
7.25.25 - “Your honor,” the gofer said, “my alibi is that I was in the foyer, listening to a cover of ‘Power of Love’, at the time of the murder.”
(That's the power of love!!)
7.26.25 - Telling the poltergeist to haunt the Habit Burger may have seemed harsh, but it was happy we didn’t pick Burger King.
(Even ghosts have standards.)
7.27.25 - I awoke feeling whole.
(sigh)
7.28.25 - If the Creature from the Black Lagoon asks me for a favor, but is vague with the details, I’m savvy enough to tell it no.
(But I'm enough of a people (and Creature) pleaser to know that I'd probably say 'yes' anyway.)
7.29.25 - I couldn’t grasp that the candy bar contained omega-3 oils and algae, because it tasted delicious.
(I struggled with the sentence for this one, trying to get a pun with 'algae and omega' to work, and it just wasn't happening. This one's okay, but I still feel like it could have been better somehow.)
