beccaelizabethI have had a frustrating day. Couldn't settle to anything, until this evening I got caught up trying to add consistent tags to my fic recs on tumblr.
... they should all be under https://www.tumblr.com/beccaelizabeth315/tagged/fic%20rec now but what I found most of all is earlier me had phases in what tag seemed obvious, and the further back I went the less obvious now me finds them.
I finished listening to Torchwood One: Nightmares
and then deleted it because my iphone wanted the space to do an update.
Lola, the middle audio, had good bits. Memories that help shape people, so there's good character bits going on. I think I liked that one.
But it turns out I greatly dislike farce, which seems to me to make the story operate at a different reality level to usual and the characters suddenly lose all competence, so I disliked the last audio rather a lot. They were chatty about their genre influences at the end but I know none of them. I dont think I want to either.
So it could be a great example of a thing, but it is not for me.
So then I was annoyed already so I relistened to that one audio that has cdrip in the long title, just to make sure I hadn't missed something the first time, and nope, I still dont like that one at all. It gets to play with the form a lot and rearranges clips and uses musical cues against the grain and on the whole just winds me up. Also it keeps telling you to not listen or you'll die, so either you dont suspend disbelief or you stop listening when it tells you to.
Distancing and annoying, with some little interesting Toshiko bits in there, but not interesting enough to listen again.
I started listening to Doctor Who: Redacted on BBC Sounds but it hasn't grabbed me yet.
I think I rely a lot on familiar formats to make me comfy with listening new things, and when instead it makes the listener as confused as the characters, I get unfairly grumpy about it. Don't know what shape this story is going to be at all so I am going to have to sneak a bit of it at a time.
I also tried to read fic and got through like a paragraph at a time before checking the news again.
And I finished reading the last few rooms in 2 of 6 of Return of the Runelords, which is very exciting but works better if you invest in imagining it properly, or, of course, actually ever play it. Which, not today, nope.
So only tagging things had my focus today, which was not what I expected, and could not be planned for.
Honestly if this brain could steer I'd rule the world by now.
... or just have done something with my degree. One of those.
