Quickly:

-- Osama bin Laden is officially dead. I can still remember where I was when getting the news about 9/11: in my grade 10 science classroom, sitting at the lab countertops, listen to the principal's voice break over the intercom. The whole school went very quiet. I think somebody was yelling something downstairs but I can't remember what.

They said we could go home early, and I went home, and lay in bed for a long while and thought about planes overhead. We live close to an airport and we hear planes going in and out all the time, and it was so quiet. Everything was quiet. The whole thing was deeply urreal.

I can't even begin to imagine what it must have been like to be an American, to be in New York. All the people who were killed, all the people whose lives were affected--they're the ones who're important, they're the ones we should remember. Nobody should remember him now that he's gone.


-- Less serious news: Real life and job hunting are kicking my butt right now. BUT I'll be doing a round-up of fic posts soon and posting the invisible-Sherlock fic I needed to finish, like, two months ago.


-- I have a Tumblr! It is mostly for stalking people and reblogging things, nothing exciting like everything I post.


-- Awesome news!


-- More awesome news!


-- Tomorrow Canada may or may not have a new Prime Minister, so that's happening. Mycroft Almighty help us.


In conclusion, this is my very first, very crappy GIF:

Good heavens. I have, with my gslsaes, 20/20 vision and visual processing good enough to get remarked upon and even still am not certain what exactly that's suppose to say. Even with the hint, I had to squint and tilt my head to see it. One wonders if the folks at Google ever look at them. Conversely, my audio processing is rather less than optimal and your description of the audio captcha made me nearly twitch. It would be very nice if Google stepped back from all their work on shiny new toys occasionally to consider who they're excluding from their use (either due to privacy or accessibility concerns).
