mp3s on my computer???
This post is also brought to you by man, it's been forever since I posted. My excuse is that my course is way too busy for it to be even sensible. Even in the holidays, I've been doing numeracy tests. What is my life =(.
Other than that, it's been quiet because this is Christmas break month. The sun sets way earlier than I'm used to, which means that I get all lazy and sleep at 9pm and only wake up maybe another 12 hours later, when the sun does actually rise. I used to joke that I'm a plant - in this context, when I have other things to do other than sleep, it's not really very funny!
Even so, I've been writing a lot, and have gotten back to 750 words after not touching it for the... entire semester. I've also had a chance to catch up on my websurfing.
One of the really fun things I found was
Diane Duane's tumblr. If I didn't know already this woman was awesome, reading her tumblr would confirm that.
She also described why I have a partnership kink when I had no idea how to put it into words. She did that in
a post about the links between Sherlock and Star Trek. (I TOLD you she was awesome.) I'll quote liberally from it:
"It’s about growth, and what each of these men has to teach the other over time... Each man is going to make the other whole - though there’ll be the usual missteps and kicking and screaming along the way. But this is what makes for great and satisfying drama: characters who change each other and are changed themselves - not running together like two drops of water into one, but each growing more perfect in the exercise of some unique gift - say, the conduction of light or the reception of it - simply because of the other’s continued and reliable presence in an otherwise unreliable world."
Aaaaaah, partnership kink. *basks in that great description*
