Memeish

Pick up the nearest book to you.
Turn to page 45.
Post the contents (and comment on their relation to your sex life in 2012, if you wish).


I actually changed out the meme a little, as it's interesting but I'm not interested in speculating on my sex life. Instead, I will present trivia.

In case anybody wonders, the word "frustri" in Esperanto means "to frustrate" (in a psychological sense). That was on page 45 of the nearest book, which is my English-Esperanto dictionary. However, that's not a sentence, so let's try again.

HUO QUBING: Mu Shu, don't talk such nonsense!

-from Mulan: Five Versions of a Chinese Legend, With Related Texts, by Shiamin Kwa and Wilt L Idema, Hackett Publishing Company, 2010.

"Mu Shu", incidentally, is Mulan (and to be exact, she takes the name "Mu Shu" and not "Fa Ping" in this version); this is from "Mu Lan Joins the Army", a 1903 Peking Opera script and one of the many, many ways the legend of Mulan has been reimaged over the centuries.

Minor Offspring (KRW, crackfic)

Apparently I'm coherent enough to write crackfic, but not form coherent replies to reviews today. So, this is "what happens when a Memory and a Typewriter love each other very much".

Despite the premise, this fic is a tame 8+/PG (minor swearing).
Yeah, I'm in a weird mood tonight. )
