5 things: bedtime, taizong emperors, fic tags, feelings about birds, feelings about bugs
one
me every night: THIS is going to be the night I get it right and am asleep at a good and reasonable time
me every night, hours past bedtime, not yet in bed: it's a total mystery how this has happened yet again!
two
last week's podcast learnings: hang on, my personal nemesis Li Shimin wasn't the only emperor called Taizong, there was a Taizong emperor of the Song as well?!
*goes to wikipedia*
aha, same characters for Taizong for both Tang Taizong and Song Taizong, and it means "Great Ancestor", I'm picking up what's being put down here
three
me looking at fic tags saying "eroticised blood drinking" like okay I'm listening..... and then I notice the "alternate universe: vampires" tag and yeah nah I'm outtie
four
sometimes you see unknown birds flying over a distant treeline going about their business, and you get so emotional (positive) about how many birds there are beyond your ability to perceive, living their lives and doing their things, that tears come to your eyes!
five
whenever I spend extensive time outside in a healthy ecosystem, I'm amazed at the sheer variety of different insects I see. like, other than all the mosquitoes and deer flies, I hardly see two of the same species, and yet I'm constantly seeing bugs! it makes me want to know about all of them, which is an impossibility because there's SO many!
