Random-ass facts that verge on being meaningless.
10. I like to read 'The Long Walk', by Stephen King, while taking long walks. 'The Long Walk' is about a game show-like endurance test where a hundred boys start walking, and keep walking, without rest, until all but one are dead. I find this oddly soothing. If I knew why, it would probably disturb me.
9. I don't mind revisionist X-history -- for example, the fact that every X-writer in his or her right mind chooses to ignore Xavier's early crush on Jean is really not a problem for me -- but please, please, don't 'update' uniforms from twenty years ago. Yes, Jean's costume was dippy-ass and ugly. Deal with it.
8. Zombies are love.
7. Going through a layered song one line at a time and seriously pondering which lines should be dominant (IE, which parts of the multi-part arrangement should be louder than the other parts) is really, really hard, and my awe for people who can do this on a regular basis really just continues to increase. Also, my urge to hide under my bed with a stick.
6. I have finally determined where on my standard walking route Mr. Opinion joins my commute, and took great pleasure in waving to him this morning as I continued to sing the same two verses of the song I'm working on over and over and over and over again. Be a dick on your own time, bucky, because my time is otherwise occupied.
5. Babylon has killed all her crickets, and is now looking at me like this is somehow my fault. I wish she were smart enough to understand that when you eat the crunchy headparts of your meal, but not the rest, the meal goes bad and you go unfed. Of course, if she had that much capacity for deductive reasoning, she'd get out of the cage and life would become a bad Sci-Fi Channel original movie.
4. Just thirteen hours to the new episode of Supernatural. Perhaps this will inspire me to finally finish my end-of-season essay on American storytelling tropes.
3. I do not really understand the Babylon Wood, and this vexes me a little.
2. Most of my weekends are now booked through the middle of November. And when I say 'booked', I don't mean 'I have decided to stay in and do my laundry'. No, I mean 'I think the cat is going to miss me'. If you want my time, book soon.
1. Samhain plus Red Lantern for the win. I love BPAL.
