Four points of utter random nonsensicalness.
So, four things to say.
First: I have now tried five times to start reading the Golden Compass trilogy and I just... cannot get past the second page. Which sucks, because this fandom trend with daemons looks like a LOT of fun and I'd love to join in, but I feel iffy having not even read a chapter or two of the source material. So. People who've read it. Does it get better? Is it worth sticking with? Or if I can't get into it from the start... should I just drop the damn thing?
Second: I got really random today and wordcounted my logs, and holy. fuck. Seriously. One of them is almost 10k. Of course, this has been going on and off for over a month. But MY GOD. And one only has two brief sessions, and is already almost 5k. Even two short ones that were barely even started, really, are over 700 and over 1600, respectively. Brief characters-abducting-the-conversation that I was sure would be barely 500 is 800-something. Apparently this is not a recent thing, either, because one SESSION -- not even a full 'verse log, just one scene from LAST March is 639. Why can I not go on like I do in logs when I'm WRITING? I mean, half those words are mine!
Third: Burn Notice is awesome and amazing and love and yes, I did get the latest episode to work and OH MY GOD, I love my show.
Fourth:

Not that I think I have any stalkers to respond. But if there's anything you want to say to me and haven't been able to, well, now you, er, can?
