cimorene1.Somehow both Wax & I slept late today: I was sleepy enough that even though I reset my alarm 3 times, I never woke up enough to finish wondering when Wax was supposed to get up or put that together with when she leaves for work, so when I finally stumbled out of bed, an hour and a half after I intended to (but not late enough to be late), she jumped up with a shriek1 of "My alarm didn't go off! Shit, why didn't you tell me what time it was?"
So then she went to work, and now I've been at the computer almost an hour and a half without finishing even one cup of insta-caf-au-lait. The bus to my five hours of evening boredom leaves in about two hours, though, so my circumstances are not dire:
1. Except it was the morning, so her shriek was actually a slightly rough-voiced mumble♥
2.(so tempted to skip, so very tempted. Why do I need to know 3 hours' worth of information about adult psychology in order to be a daycare-or-primary school teacher's assistant? Also, I didn't actually learn anything new about child psych last week in the children's section: apparently my AP/International Bacchalaureate Psychology almost 10 years ago, the equivalent of uni psych 101, actually WAS that good, or maybe it's just that I retained more because I'm interested in psychology? And why didn't it include more about abnormal psychology, or the psychology of disability, when it comes to that? Considering the entire purpose of the teacher's assistant is to help children with disabilities, you'd expect more than a 30-minute brainstorming exercise from the class, without even any input from the lecturer, into what kinds of psychological issues could be caused by different types of disabilities).
3.In my-current-fandom-reading-habits news, I don't feel bored, for once, even though I don't have any new fandoms to haunt. I went through the insightfuleffex's Kirk/McCoy ST Reboot bookmarks and then started browsing other people's, and have been enjoying it quite a lot. Even though I came out of the movie having seen the K/Mc very clearly, I was held back from full enjoyment of Reboot fic for quite a while by my attachment to TOS characterization. There is enough difference in character voice (especially between Fratboy!Kirk and his predecessor, with fanon running with the hyper-modern speech patterns even past where they were onscreen), however, to make a full separation into essentially two separate fandoms practical and even desirable. That makes it possible to really, deeply enjoy new Kirk/McCoy without seeing echoes of the to me deeply horrifying de-platonicization of the TOS platonic nature of IDK K's BFF Mc. (Though, really, modern language taken into account, it should be C-Fine who is called IDK!Kirk, but his platonic BFF is Spock - he and McCoy traded roles! But not really, since Adventurer-Partners-with-UST and Hero-and-His-Adoring-(If-Sarcastic)-Sidekick are two quite different dynamics. And Bones wasn't usually a sidekick in quite the same manner in TOS: more a fount of hilarious dialogue and a proxy for the viewer's 20th-century consciousness.)
And, backing away from the Star Trek meta, in between I've been grazing on the Fraser/Kowalski Recent pages, Chris Pine/Zachary Quinto RPS, and even delicious's most popular Dumbledore/Grindelwald bookmarks (1. I bookmarked 2 of them which were really very good and 2. There's less of it than you would think and 3. Did you know people are calling it GRINDELDORE?).
