Admittedly I've always prefered Scarlet's Walk over Tales of a Librarian as a composite, but taken as one-offs, the latter has some amazing pieces. Precious Things is brilliant as an open to the album, and has some killer couplets, including the above and:

yes, my loyalties turned
like my ankle

There's something entirely fantastic about that metaphor, not just that it's unexpected and unusual, but because it takes the entire idea and replaces with narrative. It's almost metonymy, but also more complex and engaging than that. GUH. I LOVE IT.

I spent most of the day watching The Wire because I'm into it pretty hardcore now, although I did spend just over an hour this afternoon with xanitia. We're (hopefully) meeting up tomorrow and then, if I can get a lift sorted, I may be going line dancing with her. lolz. I don't even know. Sounds good, though.

Tonight is The Dad's Rotary Club meeting, so I think we're having take-out. Which, frankly, seems a little wrong to me, but it's a rhythm that The Mother and The Sister have taken up in my absence, so it's not like I can argue it. Unfortunately, there are no good films on so I don't really know what we're going to do.

xanitia came with me to the post office and then the library where I decided to only hand back two of the three books that I took out a month ago. The third I renewed - Anita Desai's Fasting and Feasting. On first look I didn't much like it but I was reading it again whilst waiting for xanitia and decided I should give it another try. So far, so good. I read Desai when I was in year 11 - the tutor gave me her copy of Clear Light of Day. I liked it, but it took me a while; I think I'd have a better time with it now.

UGH. Amazon for the FAIL. My stuff should have arrived by now and yet it hasn't. FAIL FAIL FAIL.

I was thinking about my entry for numb3rswriteoff and I realised that I'd probably have a better time rewatching season 3 if I had someone to watch with. Sometimes I sort of resent the fact that a lot of my RL friends don't really connect to fandom AT ALL. I mean, The Flatmate is in love with David Tennant, and I convinced T to watch Weeds and Criminal Minds but that's about it. SIGH.

Oh, speaking of, I have picspam to post. Lots of picspam. Shiny, colourful picspam. &c. &c. You get the idea, I'm sure. (Shiny! Pretty!) Also, sometimes I feel like going friends only, just so that I can use a banner. Which is blatantly ridiculous, I know. AND YET.

The end run of S2 is one of my favourite show runs. Well, leaving out certain elements. But the cases &c. are made of brilliance.

I guess so, because the focus spreads a little. S3 compensates in a fairly big way.

Ooh, good! Something to look forward to! I should finish watching S2 tonight, I think, so I'll be cracking on with that.
