Someone forgot to do their Japanese last night whoops. Bad me. We'll call it distracted by Sherlock, in which I discover that yes, Benedict Cumberbatch, apart from having one of the most hilarious names ever, is indeed possibly a fangirl's ideal dream. Except where I spent a minute or two noting that and then the entire rest of the first episode squealing over all the Holmes trivia references and how they got the watch speech almost verbatim except updated to the 20th century and how they copied over the Sherlock Holmes deduces Watson was in a war speech almost exactly as well and and the flat finding and everything. It made my little Holmes fangirl heart happy.

Oof. And almost done with Kink Bingos, and ... something. I hate being crampy. I hate bleeding once a month, and I'd bitch more except I have a sneaking suspicion someone would just point out Seasonique or something. And I am just paranoid enough of putting unnecessary chemicals in my body for the sake of greater convenience to really not want to go that route.

Last day of, hopefully, being shorthanded. And maybe it'll be a quiet Friday, it was sort of quiet yesterday, so, here's hoping. I could use some writing and knitting time, anyway. Then again, I can knit even if I have to sit out at the front of the store... anyway, here's hoping!
