I asked her to take off her hood, and she refused. I thought she was just being difficult and ignored it. After breakfast we got in line for art, and I noticed that she still had not removed her hood. When we arrived at the art room, I said:...

A brilliant remix of my dear friend, @jacindae - on ccmixter. monadologie: I can’t even say this is a remix of me, it’s more just a really gorgeous sound collage that my voice happens to sort of be in.

The Primary Rule of Ships and Castles:
Never piss off the Cook.  ”I’ve half a mind, you know, to dismiss that Castellan of yours. Replace him. Damn bold, he is.” He said this late one night, leaning against the big head table.

I’m working on my Red Hood, tonight. I found a lovely little girl’s coat, the softest fur you could imagine! It’s going to line the cloak’s edges, and the hood. I have always wanted a lovely hood, lined with scrumptious plush! If I have enough left over (as I am dearly hoping) I will be able to make myself a muff, to match!  It really is lovely stuff, and I’m glad I decided to...

Thirteen Observations made by Lemony Snicket while...
by Lemony Snicket  1. If you work hard, and become successful, it does not necessarily mean you are successful because you worked hard, just as if you are tall with long hair it doesn’t mean you would be a midget if you were bald. 2. “Fortune” is a word for having a lot of money and for having a lot of luck, but that does not mean the word has two definitions. 3. Money is like a child—rarely...
