Assorted things make a post
1. omg I love the AO3 kudos system. So much, I cannot even say. It's made Yuletide much more enjoyable for me because I don't have to worry so much about thinking up something insightful to say. Kanata's post basically sums it up for me. I still haven't finished going through the archive, but I have saved a bunch to my new (to me, anyway) Kindle (bweee!).
2. I've started reading Homestuck. You guys, what is this I don't even. I mean, I'm enjoying it, but what the hell. Would reading Problem Sleuth first make things any less confusing? I started reading that a long time ago but got distracted and wandered off.
3. My brother started watching X-Files over my shoulder and got into it, so we're starting again from the beginning. We're now in season 2, which has more ridiculous episodes than I remembered. (Why did the aliens make the animals invisible, again?)
However, I can actually recognize Krychek now, so maybe I'll be able to figure out what the hell is up with him this time around. Additionally, oh man, I ship MSR so hard it's ridiculous. Normally, I can't get into canon pairings, but apparently I have a button labeled "PARTNERS" that is very easily pushed. (This button lead to me having a brief moment of shipping Lassie/Jules on Psych, which is something considering that I don't really like Lassiter all that much.)
Also: Dear scientists, here is a tip: never name anything the Icarus project. Ever. Why would you do that? (more names to avoid: Sisyphus, Achilles. Others?)
Also also: is it weird that I find it kind of hot when Scully does autopsies? That's weird, right?
4. Here is a delicious recipe for carrot soup that I've been making a lot this winter. I recommend the second set of spices, and sour cream as the dairy. I also skip the cashews, because they're expensive and I'm cheap.

As well you should be! Although you were right; John is extremely likable.
And I have gotten used to the crack- sort of. When I posted this, I was at the very beginning, but now I'm a bit into part two and am completely caught up in the story. Except now NanaSprite is expositioning (expositing?) about, um, something, and I'm confused again but that's okay. I figure I'll roll with it. (I'm still a little confused about how the sylladexes work, but I think that may be more due to my poor programming knowledge than anything else. I get it enough to get the jokes, anyway.)
I did try reading Problem Sleuth, but... ehhnn. I got to chapter four and it's still just not hooking me, and I figure four chapters is a fair shot.

Despite the ridiculous number of pages devoted to them, I don't think the exact mechanics actually matter very much and wouldn't worry. (Although I'll admit that the illustrations of what craziness ensues if you don't understand data structures are 1000x better if you've ever done intro programming in groups.)
I figure four chapters is a fair shot.
More than. I only read it after I ran out of HS and was curious. If I had been linked it as its own thing, I wouldn't have stuck around.
