Conceptually, I think that's really cool.

I had this idea, a few days ago, for a novel wherein a detective that can learn about people by digging in their guts (à la haruspex). They get hired by the government to investigate the death of a high-ranking official, and then well it turns out to be bigger than an isolated incident yadda yadda. The thing I think is cool about this is that the detective has an ability that relies on people being dead, but their job is actually to catch people that are alive. As such, in a desperate attempt to catch the murderers, the detective ends up committing murders of their own to try and find leads and extract information from otherwise unwilling (or perhaps unable) witnesses.

I don't know, I think that's a pretty cool idea.

Anyway, today was extremely hot and there'll be a pretty rough heat wave coming on this week. Which is fine, I guess, but I was hoping to be able to wear jeans... Evidently, I won't. Way too hot for that. However, my grandma did make me some nice food. It was way too salty, but it's fine. I'll like, refry it tomorrow and add some stuff so it won't feel as salty, I hope.

Feeling good.
