The Urge to Fall

So when I am bored and procrastinating, I will read anything. Literally, almost anything.
Harry Potter Fanfic? I'll read it.
An article about how Britons are sluttier than Italians? I'll read it.
Britney Spears and a Jessica Wakefield reference in the latest Fuggings? I'll read it.
A blog by a woman who is probably a better person than I will ever be? I'll read it.
Designer sketches of possible dresses for Michelle Obama to wear to the Inaugural Ball? I'll judge them.
An article about a woman whose son was convicted of murder, so she seduced a juror into telling her secrets about the jury deliberations so the defense could file for a mistrial? I'll read it.

I will even read TWOP's recap of Series 4 of Doctor Who even though it was written by Jacob and is full of references to mythology and psychology. It's usually pretty word heavy and it's not so much a recap of the show (you definitely need to see the episode first) as it is an in-depth analysis (... of a show made for 8-year-olds.) I quite liked this part though:
The definition of madness is the inability to filter out the false from the true. But everything's true, given enough time and space: that's the difference between us and them. That filter is a biological necessity. If we knew everything there is to know, we'd die. The fact is, we do. Our bodies know better: they call it dreaming, and they force us awake. Stay there and become mad, become chimerical, abominable, something that cannot exist. The secret marriage cannot go on indefinitely: permanent direct contact with the divine is another definition of madness.

In other news, I was able to acquire the Doctor Who Series 4 soundtrack tonight. I really like the music from this show, you guys.

1 made a huge mistake.:

Procrastinators Unite!

...tomorrow...

I understand, though I hope your adrenaline kicks in soon.

And who doesn't love the Doctor Who soundtracks? I have 2 and 3...I think.

Anywho, I'm stealing 4 from you, just as an FYI!
