still procrastinating. in case you couldn't tell.

LJ deserves some kind of prize for well-balanced icon preservation. I have been left with 2xBSG, V for Vendetta (voila!), Orsino looking snooty, the ubiquitous study icon and my own vibrant visage.

(Rewatched V last night and CANNOT SUPPRESS VOCABULARY, AM BECOME VIOLENTLY VERBOSE IN SAID VARIATIONS ON THE VERNACULAR)

I had a moment of pure and wondrous (read: frightening) pedantry earlier this afternoon. I was procrastinating writing my Ecology of Health & Disease oral by hanging out in the physics students' room with Q, and espied upon the notice board a printout of the Hermann Grid, along with a couple of lines of text explaining what you should see and that no explanation for this is known.

I walked over. I took it down. I added, in red pen, Yes, it is. PTO for explanation.

And then I explained the visual science behind said illusion, complete with illustrative diagrams, on the back of the paper.

And then I pinned it back up.

(So there.)

*clutches icons blissfully*

...thank you, whoever you are.

I'd offer to drabble for you but your very anonymity makes it difficult to pick a fandom, so I'll just offer my heartfelt gratitude instead :)

Swing tonight was great fun - it's feeling more and more natural to be the following partner, to not have any set steps but to react instantly and fluidly to subtle signals like pressure on the hip, a hand opening out, a tap on the wrist, and to be able to improvise and recognise where a particular move is headed. It's not like any other kind of dance I've done before - twelve years of various disciplines have given me near-instant muscle memory and a good feel for rhythm, but...this is different, new. And that makes it exciting.

And swing!Jake, whose name is not actually Jake but I have to bite my lip to stop myself from calling him that, wore a shirt that said 'Hunting Trip' on it and my mind went FISHING TRIP and I almost burst out laughing.

In the spirit of partner dancing, I am now going to go and watch Strictly Ballroom. (One day I will learn ballroom. And salsa. And rock'n'roll. And everything.)

SWING ICON NEEDED.
