it unfurls in loops and hoops of black ink

It's funny to me sometimes how segmented fandom is. Like, I just saw a comment saying that nobody was complaining about the fail in last night's SPN episode, while my flist was pretty full of posts pointing it out (my own included). I also have to laugh sometimes because look, clearly I have a very complicated and probably unhealthy relationship

I could probably dig it up for you if you're interested. Though given how long it might take me, someone else might comment with links in the meantime.

Something about waiting inside of a whale? I don't remember what it is called!

Oh, I love that one. I don't remember when exactly I posted it, but here it is:

Things to Do in the Belly of the Whale
by Dan Albergotti

Measure the walls. Count the ribs. Notch the long days.
Look up for blue sky through the spout. Make small fires
with the broken hulls of fishing boats. Practice smoke signals.
Call old friends, and listen for echoes of distant voices.
Organize your calendar. Dream of the beach. Look each way
for the dim glow of light. Work on your reports. Review
each of your life’s ten million choices. Endure moments
of self-loathing. Find the evidence of those before you.
Destroy it. Try to be very quiet, and listen for the sound
of gears and moving water. Listen for the sound of your heart.
Be thankful that you are here, swallowed with all hope,
where you can rest and wait. Be nostalgic. Think of all
the things you did and could have done. Remember
treading water in the center of the still night sea, your toes
pointing again and again down, down into the black depths.

Eh. I mostly wanted to know what you were talking about in a, I don't know, crime scene photo sort of way. I'm actually pretty cool with not knowing the details so that I don't have to be disappointed in him.

Thank you for the poem! ::gives in and starts poetry file::

Having a poetry file is like having inspiration right there all the time! It's the motivation that I lack these days. Sigh.
