Been in a bit of a blah mood lately. Work has been dragging, so that's part of it. I'm happiest when I'm busy not stressed busy, but actively busy and engaged. And well...it's that time of month again..
which sort of makes you wish you could take a vacation from your gender, be another gender for just those 1-5 days, then back again. Although I'm told some people enjoy it.
Was so bored at work that I re-read my essay on the last issue of the Buffy comic, because someone commented on it and I'd forgotten what I wrote. Rather good piece of writing actually - one of my better reviews. Few typos, clear, and a subtle wit. I enjoyed it at any rate - which is rare, because I tend to be highly critical of my own writing. Most of my reviews tend to be rambling things with tons of typos that make me cringe upon re-reading. Also funky spaces in paragraphs. The review also reminded me of why I'm no longer posting Buffy essays or anything on Whedon (outside of the fact that I respect the people who still love Whedon and Buffy and don't want to upset them unnecessarily, not that they necessarily care but...). And that I've got to get rid of those comic books at some point. Been procrastinating that. Procrastination not helped by guy on my street who informed me that it was a bad idea to just give away one's comics since they might be worth 50 bucks to someone. X-men Vintage issue #1? Maybe. But Buffy comics? That may be pushing it a tad. 20 years from now? Who knows. But I'm not sure I want to hold on to them for 20 years.
Saw The Good Wife last night, which was rather good. Quite impressed. Although there was admittedly one scene that required considerable suspension of disbelief. Which I handwaved.
