MORE good things

(it's been that kind of day, and I like to cling to them when they come)

5) QI episode 5x04 (the one with the Explorers theme) made me laugh so hard I think I strained something. Jesus. I've never seen anything that funny. Bill Bailey & Alan Davies should sit next to each other ALWAYS.

6) I'm eating pocky. I don't think I've eaten this since I was in high school, and getting all excited about discovering anime and LiveJournal and fandom and OH MY GOODNESS, WHAT IS THIS STRANGE THING THEY CALL 'SLASH'?? Ah, memories.

7) I finally joined a choir again, and spent a couple of glorious hours last night singing the second sop line in Carmina Burana. I've really missed that feeling, and although I got shockingly lost at the very beginning of O Fortuna (last time I sang this I was a first, and srsly, Carl Orff, what kind of cruel & unusual second sop line IS that?) and croaked a bit the first time I was required to hit a high A, it's nice to know my voice can still do delicious things with Latin set to double-time quavers.

8) .....can I name Irwin again? No fic this time, but the source of this icon's keywords:

We are wet with sympathy now;
Thanks for the evening; but how
Shall we satisfy when we meet,
Between Shall-I and I-Will,
The lion's mouth whose hunger
No metaphors can fill?

Well, who in his own back yard
Has not opened his heart to the smiling
Secret he cannot quote?

- from W.H. Auden's 'The Sea & the Mirror'
