bluecastleUGH. Cannot wrap head around real life today. This would be a two pop-tart day except that the rest of my pop-tarts are on the shelf in my kitchen at home. :(
We had a (literally and figuratively) flying visit from the Prez on campus today. Got in around 11 ... flew back out around 1:30 pm. He was supposed to come yesterday but the weather caused a day's postponement. Spoke for about 20 minutes, although he was about 35 minutes late in giving his remarks. Some of the students who scored tickets had been camped out since before 8 a.m. this morning waiting to get in to the building where he was speaking. I was happy to sit in my office and watch it streamed live over the web.
Have a giant knot in my shoulder/neck. Woke up with it. Said pain might have had something to do with the dream I was having ... which was a perfectly ordinary "I have come to return this award to you" dream until there was a bit about the girl (which may or may not have been me) having her head chopped off, and then her father reattaching it with a sewing machine and she was all better.
Which meant that I woke up going "Hey. That wouldn't work. She/I would have died when they chopped off her head." Also ... ew. Ow. at the graphic sewing back on bits. LOL
Just printed out 15 pages of a merlin|arthur fic that was the result of my NaNo month writing. It's time to do something with it and get it off my hard drive. Now if I can just figure out where it wants to go.
So here I sit, sucking down coffee and wishing I were at home. Although it's awful quiet and lonely there now. I keep hearing all those random house noises as if for the first time. But on the plus side I can now open doors to the outside without fear of kitty escapes.
Distracted myself earlier with a Lestrade/Wallander fic ... which I liked until I got to the end and realized it was a WIP. UGH. Poor Lestrade. Mostly people keep trying to slash him with Sherlock or Mycroft or John ... which ... well, I could buy past Sherlock/Lestrade ... or MAYBE current/future Lestrade/Watson but the whole Lestrade/Mycroft thing just baffles me.
I too would like to know why Mycroft wears what appears to be a wedding band on his right ring finger, but secret Parisian weddings to a certain G. Lestrade don't really work for me :)
Maybe I'll just go and rewatch those South Korean oh so sweet Sherlock trailers :D
