(no subject)

Sadly, one cannot call into work and say, "Nope, can't come in today - I am listening to murder ballads and have just realized that I need to learn at least 3 different versions of Two Sisters."

(Someday, I will be in a situation where my knowledge of various versions of ballads where people die horribly is useful. I don't know what that situation would be, but I'm sure it'll happen.)
