So I was looking up ambrosia and nectar in Wikipedia for a tag I was writing this morning, which led me to ichor, which led me to The Dunwich Horror, which led me to the library to pick up some Lovecraft for the hell of it. Yay?

I also picked up some books for the paper I'm gonna be writing. I was originally gonna do it on pirate kangaroo courts, but I'm not sure I know where to look for resources on that, so I'm gonna go back to my original idea of exploring how thieves' cant and other slang worked as a method of separating the socially deviant underworld from the rest of society. Which sounds so much better than "I'm using this paper as an excuse to learn thieves' cant for a character I roleplay online," doesn't it?

I need to make a Milliways post about zombies later, but I have to write this paper proposal and work out first.

Man, I already miss working on MacB. *sadface* It was so nice to feel involved in theatre again.

So I have this theory about all these classic rock songs from Supernatural. The rhythm of them fundamentally implies motion; they're all in very steady 4/4, at a pace that very often equals a brisk walking pace, at least for me. I'm not sure if my legs are just exactly the right length or what, but if I listen to them while walking, I'm pretty much always stepping on the beat.
