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?

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!
