The Aviary

Things of lately:

- Choir last night. We have, let's see, three more rehearsals till concert time and god, I just do not feel ready at all. I haven't really felt connected to choir this session. I don't know if it's the fact that we have a new director - though I like him a lot - and thus a new directorial style that we all have to adjust to, or the fact that we have so much music, OMG, but I've felt really frustrated throughout. I hope that the concert doesn't end up sucking.

- On another slightly depressing note, I've been sort of vaguely following the asexuals-on-lgbtfest thing that's happened recently. And on one hand, hurrah, the mods of lgbtfest are indeed quite reasonable and are now accepting prompts about asexuality. (I have pretty much stopped reading SGA fic entirely at this point but man, I would read the hell out of fic where Shepperd is asexual.) And on the other hand, this. And okay, yeah, generally I know better than to read comments on fandom_secrets but this morning, I am apparently stupid. And wow, that is some crazy and virulent hate. Sweet Loki in a fishbasket, I'm sorry that my not wanting to have sex with anyone offends you so much. Holy hell.

- And now, something less depressing! I continue to watch the Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes on my computer, which is lovely and yes, turns out that I really have not seen much of it at all because guys, I would have remembered this Lestrade. Because he is utterly lovely. No, see, I was going in order and then I got to Norwood Builder and said to myself, "Self, now we have to go and watch all the episodes with Lestrade in them." Which is ridiculous, but quite fun really.

- Dad is off on a business trip this week and Mom is leaving tomorrow for Artfest which means that Megan and I will be alone in the house for something like a day and a half. Hopefully, we will not kill each other. (Note: death is actually fairly unlikely.)

And that is my life today.
