It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Hmm, I missed the chance for a booty-adjacent call tonight by checking my email too late. However, I did fix a decent steak dinner, cuddled with my cats, and watched a really interesting episode of Nature on PBS while missing out, so I'm not too broken up.

While I am falling behind on my TV watching, I'm up to Mirror Dance in my Bujold binge-read, so that's good clean fun.

The only show we've watched recently (that hasn't been me rewatching Hannibal or Penny Dreadful) was Sense 8. Which I was mildly-enthused-to-meh about. Pete liked it better than I did.

We plan on watching Daredevil S2 in the next week or so. But other than that, we don't watch a lot of shows. Hell, media-wise I've been rewatching comfort movies, because it's been a stressful couple of weeks months. (I'm watching Interview With the Vampire again, AIFG!) t vampire fangirl tag never closes

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I think it showed in the US as Prisoner: Cell Block H

That is correct.

I'm watching Interview With the Vampire again, AIFG!

I sense a Queen of the Damned and Lost Boys double feature in your near future.

Actually, with the way my week is going, it's going to be 30 Days of Night, Jennifer's Body, and Let Us Prey. I need cathartic violence and destruction.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Burrell, how did the event go? No crying or tripping I assume.

It was good, thanks. No tripping, no tears. I did butcher some poor student's name but it was during the raffle prize section, which had sort of devolved into the event coordinator and I doing a kind of low-key Lucy and Ethel routine. And Percival Everett told a great story about being the only black cowboy in Idaho, so that was entertaining. Not sure it was about young writers exactly, but that wasn't strictly a requirement.

And there were lots of students and faculty coming up to say thank you at the end, so I assume that means it went well. Either that or they are buttering me up for next year, but I'll take it.

I guess we got through Single Whip last week, tonight was Lift Hands, Crane Spreads its Wings, and Brush Knee. Maybe something else in there. Not sure I have all that, but that is okay. I do like the names.

I love Brush Knee. You're officially into the second part of the first set I believe.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sounds like a great event, Burrell!

When you can't tell if the sore is from the muscle you pulled doing a stupid maneuver cleaning a couple days ago or glands going over-reactionary from spring or demo dust. Displeased with my level of creaky.

Oh good! When we do the whole form I feel like I know just enough to get in the way of following the parts I don't know, which is probably progress but feels pretty awkward. Glad to hear your thing went well!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I need to focus on work, of which I have a buttload, but my mind keeps wandering off to absolutely anything else. How the hell did I get through 16 years of school?
