community. referentiality.

I don't watch Law and Order, so I didn't catch those references in this week's Community, but there was a joke in there for me: when Annie called the unblooming yam "A big orange splotch on your perfect record!" I don't know why this tickles me so much, but Community + Pinkwater! Of course!

The older I get the more everything seems to refer to everything else. Possibly because there are more stories in my brain for each new story to refer to. Possibly I am just going crazy. Referentiality tickles the pattern-making part of my brain even when I know it is meaningless. (The Big Orange Splot reference is not meaningless. It tells you something important about Annie's character and, I hope, her character arc.)

I am worried about what "three weeks for Dreamwidth" means, even though I see that your last entry was nearly a year ago.

I hope to see you soon.

*love*

Nothing bad! It's just three weeks in which we don't crosspost, in order to focus our attention and nourish our relationships here. Many people strive to create especially awesome content at this time. I am... thinking really hard about it.

I would love to see you soon.

Ah, thank you! Though I almost never crosspost, I reckon I'm not very hooked into DW relationships!
