And now a word from our sponsors...

I'm going to take a break from the angst and melodrama that have composed my life for the last week. I'm sick of it. So I bring you this moment of hilarity and irony courtesy of the fact that I've now been awake for almost 24 hours. *makes faces*

Ironic, that I should be stuck sharing an ICU shift with a person who tried to get me brought up on charges of unethical behaviour just a few days ago. *shakes head*

Also ironic that, while Hoshina has never been my favorite character in Laura Joh Rowland's books (far from it, in fact), he should deliver one of the single best lines she's ever written. *chuckles*

After his arrest during an investigation that he was conducting and while subsequently awaiting execution, Police Commissioner Hoshina receives a visit from Detective Sano, his rival, the hero of the series, and incidentally the only man who can now save his life. While questioning Hoshina, Sano becomes visibly discouraged. Hoshina then comments...

"If you wish I had all the answers, just think how much I wish I did."

*giggles* Never thought I'd say this, but... Go, Hoshina! XD
