Ellipses Galore |
Some vaguely connected ramblings on my life and thoughts. |
“-WHEN YOU NEED THE BEST- Agressive, compassionate representation you can count on.”
OH GOD.
oh, phonebook.
“It’s trolls!” said Bilbo from behind a tree.
omg…
Page 45 is just a giant full-page colour photograph of a kingfisher.
Ummm.
“Vogan poetry is of course the third worst in the universe.”
“It didn’t have any apples or balls in it.”
WELL THANK GOD FOR THAT.
“Come south with me, and I’ll teach you how to laugh again,” the king promised.
“Well, mother and daughter’s no picnic, let me tell you”

“It’s a pantry scene.”
Umm.
“Episodes in which humans, rather than aliens, do violate social rules contribute to this differentiation.” Enterprise Zones: Critical Positions on Star Trek
Make of that what you will.
“They are found in nearly all kinds of terrestrial habitats, from forests to deserts and lakes.”
Well, now…
“Love has conducted us unto one death; Caina waiteth him who quenched our life!”
It’s the relevant lines accompanying an illustration of Dante’s Inferno Canto V. We all know how well that goes.
“Fifteen.”
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. Apparently I like jailbait.
“Apparently Poe’s long absence had stirred no fondness in Allan’s heart.”
Um… not sure how to interpret this, but this gif is always relevant.
Okay so I actually have 3 piles of books all equidistant to me (around 15 books total) so here are the best of them…
“That way, everyone could plan ahead, said Lord Vetinari, and part of the uncertainty had been removed from the chaos that was life.”
“Besides, arising out of the black depths of his head was an emotion that, hitherto, he had little time for.”
“Be sure to give it to him in private.”
“She seemed comfortable, the way their grandmother used to seem comfortable.”
“He was the only wizard I could find.”
Looks like it will be an interesting year ;).
*happy dance* I’m so excited!

So Fanime was absolutely bonkers. I’m totally blown away. Thank you to everyone who visited my table; it was especially spectacular meeting so many Sherlock fans and getting a chance to share my weird obsessions. You are all amazing <3
To celebrate the release of Wreck and finally crossing this big deadline that’s been looming over me, I wanna do a short giveaway! I haven’t done this before so please forgive me if I do something super wrong @w@;;
Please read all the details under the cut!
I just finished listening to A Study in Scarlet and have come to the conclusion that Watson needs to stop ejaculating whenever Holmes says something brilliant.
I feel like there is a kinkmeme in there somewhere…
Went back to my high school to visit for graduation and saw some of my old classmates and teachers. It was fun but left me a bit morose. Seeing them again reminds me that while I consider them very good friends they tend to not reciprocate. I’m sure they consider me a friend but it borders on just “school mate” from there side.
They visit other alumni in Boston and I find out a few weeks later via facebook. I just hear “Oh we were going to call you but then… yeah…” They all seem to keep in touch, mentioning “Oh yeah I was talking to so and so.” But I haven’t really talked to any of them since we graduated, it just sort of ended.
And some of the people I was closest to were the teachers and staff but there was always that awkward “well you are a student” from their sides. And even now when I’m no longer a student and I see them I feel like they don’t know how to behave around me. Fuck, I just want to be friends with them.
I get morose because because this has been a trend throughout my life. I had a number of “friends” but they were “Just school friends” we didn’t hang out outside of school. And often times people who I had considered my “best friends” considered me just “a friend.”
I don’t want to complain too much because I have probably 3 very good friends, I just get frustrated with the rest sometimes.
So last night Ellipsis and I were talking about New York City. Particularly Marvel’s NYC. As far as we know, all the Marvel movies take place in the same universe. So our question was this: why are aliens invading the city with no opposition from ANYONE ELSE? I mean, come on! By rights you shouldn’t be able to throw a rock in that city without hitting either a superhero or a mutant on their day job. Where are they all? Napping? In the Bahamas? Did Xavier just strike up a deal with Fury to give the X-Men every other Tuesday off or something? Did they move to Canada with Logan to give other superheroes a sporting chance to save the place? I’ve been thinking about this all day, and I’m finding it more and more ridiculous.
Twi does a pretty good job summing it up. (Admittedly the X-men are a bit out of the city but they have a freakin’ jet, other Marvel Hero’s that we have seen movies of in NYC include Spider Man and The Fantastic 4)
I finished watching Sherlock season two with my parents on Monday. Today when I was eating lunch with my mom she said “You know, I sort of want to re-watch Sherlock,” I stared at her for a few seconds before simply saying “Yes”. I love my parents :).
Oh and I will post at some point in the near future about my parents responses to Hounds and Reichenbach (I keep forgetting to)

Easily the most Chinese trashcan I’ve ever seen.
