1. I've started meditating every day again. Work and the commute are making me cranky. Also I'm possibly going into menopause - although it's currently better than perimenopause if this is the case.

Cubical Mate: People can be annoying.
Me: Ain't that the truth.

I just want to shoot everyone with a water gun or paint gun. And the endless political nightmare that the US has embroiled itself in hasn't helped.The whole thing is beyond anxiety inducing not to mention frustrating.

Poster: You know, I've finally figured it out..it's the Republican Party we need to get rid of.
ME: You think?


2. I need a book with good banter. I miss sexual banter. The books I've been reading suck at it.

3. Watched:

* Prodigal Son -- which, was weirdly disappointing and hard to focus on. I kept getting distracted by the killer of the week -- I couldn't figure out where I'd seen the actor before. Ah, Michael Raymond-James (Terriers and Once Upon a Time) and I thought he was shorter -- he seems huge. Okay, this makes me realize how tiny the actor playing the protagonist truly is.

* Stumptown -- I'm admittedly only interested in Dex. I don't really care that much about anyone else. This could prove to be problematic as we move forward. Also only Dex' s storylines are interesting. Grey/Hoffman's story is very cliche and somewhat predictable. My attention wanders whenever they are on-screen. I like the Lt, Tico, and Ansel. I just find Grey and Hoffman to be rather boring.

Dex however had a nice role reversal story this past week.

* Grey's Anatomy - I was bored. Also I miss Alex already. I don't know what they plan on doing with his wife.

* Station 19 - eh, this is going to get cancelled off my DVR soon.

* A Million Whiny Little Things -- I find Gary, Eddie, and his wife interesting at least. Everyone else I want to kick. However, the new mystery/puzzle is rather intriguing. Why is Jason Ritter's character pretending to be the recipient of Maggie's brother's heart? He didn't have heart surgery.

4. I think I may have to watch the last episode of Doctor Who, and skip the previous four episodes. Why? Because...I saw a weird spoiler.

1. So..saw the first two-part episode "SpyFall" and "Fugitives of Judoon" from the new season of Doctor Who and I understand why everyone got excited.

Those three episodes were quite good. Excellent in fact.

Also..

( spoilery thoughts )

It's become more serialized and less episodic like last year, with an over-arching mystery. This works better for the writer, I think, who isn't really an episodic writer but a serial one. He needs an over-arching mystery that is character centric to dig his teeth into.

Rather loving this season of Doctor Who -- and here, I was about to give up on it. If it weren't for my correspondence list I would have.

2. Ugh. I ache. And I don't know why. Using heating pads and cold pads. And stretching. Hopefully will be able to sleep. Off to do that now. Sorry for the crankiness.
