The church bells ring/the children sing/what is this strange and beautiful thing?/it's the sunrise

[jedusor]

Yesterday, I crashed not too long after I posted those pictures from the armory, and woke up at 5:15 this morning, just before dawn. The university center wasn't open, but I managed to catch a maintenance guy leaving and convince him to let me in so I could snap this picture from the second floor.

Then I ran through the sprinklers, saw a squirrel on a trash can, made myself chocolate pancakes and fresh-squeezed tangerine juice, and ate them by the window. Now I'm going to go study awesome neuroscience stuff.

I've decided that this is how mornings should work.

A tangerine sunrise! Thanks for sharing your morning with us!

[jedusor.livejournal.com]

The tangerine juice made me think of you. I know how much you love the stuff. :)

[mamagotcha.livejournal.com]

So tangerines are an acceptable alternative to oranges? ;P Glad to hear you're warding away the scurvy.

Love you, mishie!

[jedusor.livejournal.com]

It's a loophole in the scripture. ;)

[imagines.livejournal.com]

You don't drink orange juice? *headtilt*

[jedusor.livejournal.com]

It's a long story.

If one has to be awake when the sun comes up, I agree that that's pretty much the ideal situation right there.

[jedusor.livejournal.com]

I didn't have to! But after falling asleep before it even got dark out, I'd be kind of worried if I'd slept much longer than that.

You are becoming the most awesome person, and it's a privilege to watch you grow up. Apropos of nothing. Now go study awesome neuroscience stuff. :)

[jedusor.livejournal.com]

I feel obliged to point out that I have always been pretty good at running through sprinklers, and while the ability to make pancakes from scratch is a relatively recent development, I did figure out how to procure them through strategic eyelash-batting pretty early on. But thank you. :P

(I also feel obliged to admit that I am not actually studying awesome neuroscience stuff at the moment; I am reading Television Without Pity recaps of Sports Night, because a friend mentioned that the name of one of the fake athletes is also the name of a Harry Potter character and wouldn't say which one and I couldn't find it by Googling and obviously I can't not know. But homework shall happen once I'm done with this, really truly.)

[ertchin.livejournal.com]

Looking for an actual character name in TwoP recaps? My God, did you ever get done? :)

[jedusor.livejournal.com]

I didn't find it there because the recapper didn't mention the name, but I did find it! Cross-referencing wikis wasn't working, since there's no comprehensive list of fictional Sports Night athletes, so I ended up Googling "sports night [Harry Potter character name]" until I found a match.

Please don't judge me. What if it came up in a crossword?

[ertchin.livejournal.com]

I don't judge you; I applaud you! I just thought it was especially brave to look for any character name at TwoP, where even a main character is much more likely to be called Billy Bob than by his actual name.

(Unless his actual name is Billy Bob. Duh.)

*drooling at your life*

There is no reason for you not to also get so tired you fall asleep in the afternoon, wake up at dawn to watch the sunrise, and then cook yourself chocolate pancakes!

[imagines.livejournal.com]

Other than how I already wake up at dawn to go to school every day...and always burn pancakes? ;)

"Pancakes," Warrick said after a while.

Toreth carefully turned the mildly misshapen pancakes to find them exactly the right shade of golden brown underneath.

"How do you do that?" he asked.

"Cooking is very like programming. It requires a sound understanding of basic principles, the patience not to cut corners, and—" he grinned briefly, "--a great deal of talent."

[imagines.livejournal.com]

I would like Toreth's pancakes. :(

eta: Well, I suppose he and I can share.

...I don't think he'd share Warrick, though. Since Warrick is the food genius and all.

[jedusor.livejournal.com]

No. Toreth does not share Warrick. That is rather emphatically not how it works. He probably wouldn't mind him cooking you literal pancakes, though. The problem there is the fact that they're fictional.

You should read "Pancakes." It is not very long, and it's rather warm-fuzzies-inducing, insofar as Toreth is capable of inducing warmth and fuzzies.

[imagines.livejournal.com]

I have read "Pancakes." Hey, just because I keep getting distracted by That One Story doesn't mean I NEVER read the others... ;p

[jedusor.livejournal.com]

Hey, don't get all indignant on me. You said you had only read the first one and That One. Anyway, isn't it awesome? I think the Administration and Jesse Hajicek's stuff are the only fandoms I still really sincerely squee over. I probably won't be able to resist buying the new book.

(Speaking of Jesse, I am not one of those jerks who always comments "write more! more more more!" but I really hope this weather clears out his winter blues so we can have more of the crimefighting motorcycle-riding goth nerd and his ex-assassin crush, and the road-tripping vampires, and the gay cowboys, and the desert-marooned wizard, and and and the iron-phobic blue elves! *needs a hit of Hajicek bad*)

MY WISHES AND BITCHES, THEY ARE MAGIC. Six-page Metanoia update! Siiiiix paaaages! :D

"Tell him collateral damage says hi." Aw, Star. I mean, that is passive-aggressive like whoa, but still... :(
