mondays argh

I feel intensely lethargic today. Not in a productive, thinking-of-porn way. More in a, I do not even feel motivated to use google to look for something way. I am not motivated enough to think of keywords. This is like sloth. A weird sloth that still lets me post to tell people how slothful I am. Internet sloth, even.

Youngest Sister's Child is due--well, today. She'll be induced on Wednesday if there is no sign of arrival, and not a moment too soon, because Macy's is having a forty percent plus forty percent off sale and no child needs that many tiny rompers and tiny tiny overalls. I'm telling you, when I got the first few checked out and saw the price, the only thing that actually stopped me from stripping the entire rack (surely a baby will be born to my family eventually that can wear it, right?) is the fact I was distracted with Starbucks and my sister faking labor.

Then of course my sisters and I played the "I Am More Thrifty Than You Are" Game, where one speaks of craiglist and the other of consignment shops and I nodded and let them win. It's not that I don't agree. But I fail at finding clothes new that fit (jeans, people, jeans). I just do not see my chances are as good as Mrs I Found This Coach Bag at Goodwill Who Is the Man Now when she's like a size 2 or something and everything in the galaxy fits her.

Have stolen dS season two DVDs from Child and get to rewatch now. Happy.

Yep. Still lethargic. Even typing feels like too much work.

lethargy is defined by this

Lethargy shouldn't be combined with suddenly wanting to turn one's reading log into a statistical sampling, but I was fixing my tags by month (the thing is, I used to have this sucker sorted by *day*, that is how anal I was) and wondered if creating a tag for pov would be *that* bad of an idea. Just so I know. And then create a flowchart on how I got where to what fic when and how, which is kind of crazy, and then realized I was picking out colors for the Venn diagram and closed everything before something weird happened.

I don't even know what to do with that but satisfy my vague curiosity if there *are* actually an overwhelming number of first person pov stories or if I feel that because in SGA, that's the unicorn of fictional points of view. It's just so uncommon; off the top of my head, I cannot think of a first person pov story I've read in the last year before Due South. In fact, to tell the truth, I can't remember the last time I read an experimental second person. And I can't remember a fic I read that had more than one narrator other than gen fic by miss_porcupine and ltlj. I know there were some--probably several. But I can't think of any that weren't exclusively third person limited, one narrator.

Also, I've never seen anyone anywhere pull off omniscient narrator without making me want to beat my head in before now. That was neat.

Hmm. I think part of my curiosity for dS is to see if it's actually *that* common because I used three specific rec pages to jump from one at a time, so for all intents and purposes, I'm going to hit a lot of *similar* fics, in that they all conform to the reccers taste and it's recent enough that I can still remember (and have in cache), how I went here or there. It's like a fannish migration pattern in miniature. It's especially true when hitting certain authors, weirdly enough--I'll read X author, remember she's really close to Y author, go to Y author to see if she wrote anything, check Z who was friends with Y, and keep going out until I run out of associations and return to the rec page (I run out of associations fast, btw).

Okay, so I am enthralled with really useless information, but it's kind of fascinating. I started logging July first, five days after starting to *read the fic* and had to retroactively add in the June ones. Going backward through them is kind of dizzying.

Overthinking useless things == totally my thing.
