This is a picture of the Grand Canyon.

It looked like mountains to me, although I was pretty sure the Grand Canyon is a deep instead of a high thing. So I looked it up and confirmed. But then why did this picture look like mountains to me? I tried telling my brain to see it as a gorge, I tried telling it that North is probably on the top in this picture and the sun shining from the South on a northern-hemisphere thing makes totally sense and should let my brain interpret the formation as a gorge, I tried inverting the colors, I tried turning it upside down - nothing worked.

Until I turned it that way.

For some reason (Tell me why, if you know!) I need to see it from that angle to see a gorge.

I just went over to the supermarket across the street to buy some milk. On the way I check my mailbox and in there was the self-addressed envelope for whose return I've eagerly waited. OMG, OMG, Andrew Scott replied to my fanmail! I was so excited that I had to at least inform [livejournal.com profile] keep_counting and [livejournal.com profile] the_silverdoe instantly, so I tweeted them while I stood uselessly in the supermarket. You know, the one that's right across the street from my apartment. I could have just waited a few minutes and send them a comfortably-at-the computer-written, @reply-including tweet.

Okay, now I'm back home, with milk and I haven't opened the letter yet, because I DON'T KNOW! I'm nervous, I'm not really sure why. Maybe it's because I've sort of interacted with Andrew Scott and it does not compute? Holy shit, some time in the past 3 weeks Andrew read and replied to my letter. Maybe it's my social anxiety, fearing that he wrote something my stupid brain will twist into criticism or something? I feel the same thing about PMs on forums. When I see that I have one, my first reaction is to think it's from a mod and wonder "Oh god, what have I done wrong?".

Btw, it's just a normal-sized letter that went from the UK to Germany, but it has 4 88-pence stamps on it! Isn't that a bit expensive?

OH GOD, I'M SUCH A FUCKING CHICKEN, SOMEONE MAKE ME OPEN THAT LETTER ALREADY!

I'm looking through my LJ for inspiration for the Sherlock Q&A on November 11, but so far I've only found mindly amusing questions, nothing I consider worth asking. Argh, I know I have good questions - why does my brain have to bury them so deeply?! If I can't be at the Q&A, I want to send them a question at least!

1. Only woke up at 8pm! My bed times are getting more and more fucked up. >_<

2. I'm watching Sherlock on TV right now (seems to be on TV a lot recently ) and Jim via the bomb-wearing woman just greeted Sherlock with "sexy". I don't know if I've realized before that this could be clue to Jim from IT.

3. All the file links on my desktop are gone! I googled the problem and found out that this is not a bug, it's a fucking Windows 7 feature! When the files to over 4 desktop links can't be found, the links are deleted. The problem with the files (which all are on the external harddrive) not being found is due to booting (ever since I've installed the Blu-ray drive, the computer has trouble booting): the computer has booted mostly successfully, but sometimes it hasn't recognized the external harddrive.
 
 
What I hear: Sherlock 1x03: the glorious pool scene

Okay, first:
What the hell?! Today I actually left the oven on! It's the first time I forgot to put it out. How could that happen? OMG, I'm growing old!

Second:
Supernatural macro that you'll get when you know The X-Files.

*Hmph* I'm in one of those strange phases again: I want to comment to someone's post, but I don't really know how to say what I want to say and I think I don't even have anything interesting to say - so then I just don't say anything.

Oh hey, can someone help me with English? I have so many questions. Like: Where the hell to put those commas? Um, yeah...the question for today is: Does anyone know where I can find a list of all the words that in that start with a lowercase in a title (like of and the)?
