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?

"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.
