Tired due to some Real Life stuff yesterday, which was getting one of those medical procedures you're supposed to have done when you reach a certain age. Readers who are of a certain age will recognize this procedure immediately when I say that it involved drinking a horrifically vile liquid (TWICE) and becoming more closely acquainted than you ever wanted to be with your bathroom. TMI cut ) So that was a shitload lot of fun. HA HA. SEE WHAT I DID THERE? I SLAY ME SOMETIMES. Sigh.

Started reading Robert Caro's Passage to Power, his latest volume in the LBJ saga.

Belated fic rec for [livejournal.com profile] menolly_au's Have a Heart, which is all kinds of creepy and deeply unsettling. AND ALSO a rec for [personal profile] armchair_elvis' Elementary fic, the city sunset over me (this mess we're in).* Gorgeous and gritty, atmospheric and detailed and eerily real, this is Sherlock exchanging London for New York and learning how to live all over again. A sample line: He wants to tell her that London is a map, that it’s engraved on his bones, but he doesn’t. He’s not sure she’d understand. Read these fics. They are awesome. :D

*Full disclosure that I was one of the betas for this fic.

Gah, so slow and logy today. More red wine than I should've last night, then stayed up too late, then woke up at about 4 in the morning and took forever to go back to sleep.

Meanwhile, in the What Did You Expect to Happen Department -- people try to walk on hot coals, get 2nd- and 3rd-degree burns. And people pay to do this. /o\
