Update, for whoever's listening.
So.
Heading down to Pharmacy School tomorrow. What with all the stories everyone's been telling me, I'm rather expecting the next few years to be busy.
That is all. -

Poem of the Day - Prayer to Persephone
Prayer to Persephone
Be to her, Persephone,
All the things I might not be:
Take her head upon your knee.
She that was so proud and wild,
Flippant, arrogant and free,
She that had no need of me,
Is a little lonely child
Lost in Hell,-Persephone,
Take her head upon your knee:
Say to her, "My dear, my dear,
It is not so dreadful here."

Greek Mythology
I think I need to have a stern word with myself. This is not helped along by extreme lack of sleep.
Self, why have you sudden become (re)enraptured with Greek Mythology?

Song Rec - Zagreus Lullaby
If you have a moment, you might want to listen to this - I stumbled across it earlier today, and just can't stop listening.

Doctor Who: Time of the Doctor
So, watched the latest episode. My feelings are mixed - but confusion is one of the most predominant.
...from what I recall, Time Lords are supposed to have Twelve regenerations (at least, according to classic Who.) Even counting the War Doctor, the Doctor should still have had at least once regeneration left, but they he's supposed to have used ( Read more... ) -

Happy (Pre) Birthday to Me.
So it's my birthday tomorrow.
I feel in a writing mood, so, in celebration - if anyone feels like giving me a prompt, I'll try to write something, be it a few sentences to a full-fledged short story. I can't promise to answer everything, but if something sparks, I'll write it.

More Fandom Musings - Free to a Good Home!
Since ‘The Day of the Doctor’ came out (fantastic. Brilliant. Lovely!) I have been rediscovering my love for all things Whovian (this has a negative impact on my academic life, sad to say). The Doctor and the Ponds are a particular favorite of mine.
As some of you may know, I’m the kind of person who likes to speculate - fic ideas, might-have- ( Read more... )
