Luckily, there are plenty... a lot... well, definitely some with neither lawyers nor secretaries.

Anyway, even when it's one I've already read/seen and I know whodunnit, I can still enjoy the story again. I still remember the identity of the killer in Death on the Nile, Evil Under the Sun, And Then There Were None, The Mirror Crack'd From Side to Side and Murder on the Orient Express -- I can still watch all the adaptations again.

It doesn't hurt that, in the original Poirot adaptations, Poirot was played by Albert Finney (Murder on the Orient Express) and Peter Ustinov (Death on the Nile, Evil Under the Sun).

Ohhh man, you have no idea how much I love cheese.

So far I have not eaten much from Pizza Hut's menu other than this one. This is my regular favorite. ^^

As for that dinner last night, that pizza was awesome (thin crust) but the basil leaves were not my thing. I tried it, didn't like it.

So there was a shooting around the corner from my house last night.

I heard the shots but i thought they were fireworks or bangers or something and didnt pay much attention. Nor did i pay attention to the Police entering the street and being there for a few hours either.

No one was hurt though, but someone had their windows shot in.
