Hard to believe it'll be October tomorrow! The weather is finally starting to feel like fall.

Nominations for Yuletide just closed. I nominated The Glass Bead Game by Hermann Hesse, Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro, and the Templar Knight Mysteries series by Maureen Ash. I'm very excited for the exchange this year! Are you planning to participate? What fandoms did you nominate?

My evidence professor told us the hilarious story of the Phantom of Heilbronn today. Between 1993 and 2009, one unknown woman's DNA was recovered from 40 crime scenes across Austria, France, and Germany, including multiple murders, mystifying investigators and leading to suspicions of a serial killer. The mysterious "Phantom" turned out to be a worker at the factory that manufactured the cotton swabs used to collect DNA samples.

Finally, it's a bit early in the year, but I hope you'll enjoy the most beautiful rendition of the Hallelujah Chorus I've ever heard:
