business or pleasure?

i don't know who killed him. it could have been her husband, or her.. since she was his secret lover. but then there's the waiter. he was the one who gave her the glass in the first place. she was going to drink it. but then he drank it. he wasn't supposed to, he just happened to. it was an accident. but then the waiter ended up with a knife in his chest and then she shot her husband. everyone is dead. she could have shot herself next, seeing as she was the only one left, but instead she drank the vile which was used in the glass that he drank though it was meant for her. everyone is dead.

dinner was fun tonight. we solved the mystery, but solved it wrong. i drank white wine and ate grilled salmon. i felt out of place, but made myself fit in. my people skills are fairly decent in that regard. i got half lost on my way back to my room, but found it alright. 828. the night is quite. and i've noticed that i am not used to this sound. silence. but i've also noticed that i like it. i like it very much. and so i smoke a clove out on my veranda and tell 'pants' about life. and then i listen to it. and there is nothing. and i like it very much.

i wore the robe they hung in the closet most of the night. 'la costa spa and resort' etched across the upper left side. i feel like i belong to some elite club when wearing this robe. not because i can afford to stay in places like this, but because i am staying in a place like this and its fun pretending like i am used to this. so i draw a warm bath and dim the lights. i play some sigur ros on the side and i stretch out. my robe hangs on the wall, waiting for my return. well now i'm wearing it again. but this time i wear it as myself and its more fun, because i'm staying at a resort where world class spa treatment is given, but sitting here in my robe using a $20 hand massager i bought at brookstone to knead the knots out of my shoulder. and its fun. all of it. the mystery, the wine, the silence, the warm bath, the robe. and my $20 massager.

business is business. they always say 'never mix business with pleasure', but i think pleasure should be mixed with everything. life is full of pleasure. if only i'd put it on more.
