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.

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

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.

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

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

That list is magnificent. Thank you.

May you look upon the sea.

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.

"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?

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