Love, clear me of time wasted on holding on to flesh and blood

I haven't slept in a night and a half. I would really like to fall asleep before dawn. I feel incalculably stupid.

Courtesy of handful_ofdust: things women in literature have died from. I'm pretty sure "Haven't seen the sea in a long time" is one of my problems.

We are now four episodes into the second season of Person of Interest. I get that a lifetime of imprinting on weird intelligent characters and a six-month immersion in film noir and pulp fiction has left me basically the target audience for this show, but I'm just really enjoying it, all right?

Ow on the sleeping. I'm normally at the 'I'm going to fall down and sleep now' stage after 36 hours, a night and a half puts you well past there, so I hope you fallen down somewhere comfortable and slept by now.

Thank you. I am currently dealing with the worst insomnia I've experienced in ten years and when healthy I have the ability to function without sleep for three days straight, which turns out to be a really bad combination. I got about four hours last night and am going to try to improve my record right now.

I hope you're catching some zzz's now.

By the time you left this comment, I probably was!

Season two is where some of the major story arcs start being foreground rather than background, and you meet some wonderful new characters. I hope you will enjoy it.

I also hope you get some sleep.

I hope you will enjoy it.

So far, so good! See below to umadoshi.

Thank you. I did not manage very much, but I'm going to see what I can get tonight.

Glad to hear Person of Interest is still grabbing you! ^_^

I hope you've managed to sleep since you posted this.

Oh, yeah. Tonight we watched the episode in which Reese successfully disguises his secret crimefighting identity from the investigative reporter he's dating by putting on a pair of glasses and pretending to get knocked out during the climactic fight, which is also the episode in which Finch also (online-)dates the investigative reporter on Reese's behalf and hides in his closet, which is full of guns. "The longer she stays, the more questions she'll have!"–"Imagine how many questions she'll have if she comes out and sees you here." The Chekhov's carousel and the squeaky toy were just lagniappe.

I hope you've managed to sleep since you posted this.

Not much, but I did. I'm about to attempt to repeat the same trick. Thank you!

May you look upon the sea.

You're welcome. I don't think I'm at risk for it personally, but I like "Shawl insufficiency."

May you look upon the sea.

Thank you.

That's a wonderful list. I'm sure not having seen the sea in a long time is fatal: I hope you can remedy that soon.

I once read a Victorian novel (title and author forgotten, but it certainly wasn't literature) in which a woman died of brain fever brought on by studying mathematics.

Thank you. I have to say, it feels like it. I miss spending whole weeks in summer by the sea.

Jeez, it's like Lovelace darkfic.

"Haven't seen the sea in a long time": Oh, that's Finduilas of Dol Amroth in The Lord of the Rings! Though it could be other characters too, for all I know.

When I worked in the Financial District, I used to walk over to the Aquarium at lunch breaks; there's a bit of harbor, and you can watch the harbor seals without paying admission. Finding ocean you can swim in is harder, but seeing the ocean should be doable, at least?

I have no plans to move to Gondor any time soon!

It should. I just need the time. Maybe a weekend. Or some harbor islands.

May sleep come and wrap you in its wings and take you on a tour of your favorite coastlines.
