1. What I ate tonight for dinner, did not agree with me...so taking a while to digest. Sigh. It was good though. I think I've become addicted to strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, with truwhip (a non-diary all natural equivalent of cool whip).
In other news? Going off dairy, cheese (for the most part), all caffeine, all added sugars, all grains (for the most part), all sugar (except fruit, or anything with less than 5 grams...)...had stablized my mood. And worked a heck a lot better than taking drugs.
Haven't felt depressed or anxious in days, also IBS has cleared up, for the most part. Along with my headaches, sinuses, etc. So apparently I am intolerant and have some serious food sensitivities?
2. TV MEME
What TV have you been watching? The Crown, Victoria, Iron Fist, SuperGirl, Sense8, Nashville, General Hospital (which is abysmal at the moment. Seriously the writing is at an all time low. I have no idea what crack the writers are smoking. Mother and I keep threatening to quit, but curiousity keeps us tuned in. We've been watching it off and on since 1990s. My mother got me hooked on soap operas as a child. I'd come home from school and she'd tell me what happened, and her descriptions were wildly entertaining. I particularly remember her rendition of two old soap operas long since dead. Texas and Edge of Night. Texas - "Patsy and her lover found her crazy ex-husband, but he'd accidentally been mummified by the treasure, so they tried to move the body without anyone finding them...." This was before, DVD's, VCR's or taping. If you missed the soap, you missed it. They didn't have reruns. Her recaps were so entertaining that I got addicted. I think I watched them just to talk to her about it. That's the soul reason.) , Broadchurch S3, Doctor Who (which is also been in a bit of writing slump of late, albeit not quite as bad as GH. But it would be cancelled if it got as bad as GH. Personally, I don't think GH has much longer. Mother and I are taking bets on when it will end -- a year? two years? It's been on for 54 years. Tony Geary who played Luke finally retired and rode off into the sunset with Tracy Quartermain. His first love, Laura is involved with Kevin, a psychologist.).
What TV character is your favorite? Why? Male? Spike (and possibly Apollo from BSG and John Crichton from Farscape) - Apparently, I don't have a type. Spike is weird. Normally, I go for the brooding type such as Apollo, or classical hero type, John Crichton. It really makes no sense why I didn't go for Angel -- no wait, I did, for three seasons, then I discovered David Boreanze was insanely limited (he was only interesting when he was Angelus) and he got puffy, so I lost interest. Giles - on the other hand, as portrayed by a 40 something ASH, was hot, particularly as Ripper.
Female? Starbuck (BSG), and possibly, Doctor River Song from Doctor Who and Aeryn Sun from Farscape.
Hmm...I apparently like tough as nails, smart aleck, women.
From Sense8?
Male? Hmmm... Will, Caiphus (Van Damn - although I preferred the actor in S1) (I did like Leto and Wolfgang, particularly when they were paired together.) So basically liked all the men, more or less equally.
Female: I adore Naomi, Alameta and Sun. Those are my three favorite characters of the series. Although I think Sun may be my favorite. (Yep definitely a type. I watched the L Word for Shane. Solely for Shane.)
Kala and Riley, who are both insanely indecisive and passive characters, get on my nerves a bit. But I liked both characters and cared about them
My sis-in-law once confronted me with the statement: "You don't like girly girls do you?" (Actually, my difficulty with Kala and Riley had zip to do with that, and more to do with their indecisiveness and passivity for a good portion of the series. Like Sun, I felt a need to smack them every once and a while. Along with Leto, who is also a passive and indecisive character, albeit less so than the other two.)
Well, see,, here's the deal. I don't necessarily dislike "girly girls" or whatever word or term you wish to use that is less offensive than that one. Because I'm sorry, that term is offensive.
( Read more... )What hobbies besides TV have kept you entertained lately? Writing. Reading. Read a little Sense8 fanfic -- there's one on Archive Of Our Own that deals with rescuing Wolfgang that I'm reading. Mainly because that's the only storyline that didn't get wrapped up to my satisfaction.
Walking.
I need to start drawing and painting again. But I also need a desk of some sort to do it on.
Cooking. I like to cook for the most part. Which is a good thing, considering my insane dietary restrictions.
Watching movies here and there.
3. Less said about crazy politically charged work-place the better. Suffice it to say...there are days in which I wish I could just be a full time novelist or English Lit Professor in some quite town in Maine. And I really despise my governor. We call him the governator at work.
(You know you have a problem when you despise all of your current political leadership. Actually, I don't think our world has any good leadership, we have a bunch of inflated egos strutting about like peacocks professing their own self-importance. In short? in the words of Rupert Giles, the earth is doomed.)
