2. Talking with Babs today, who told me that she thinks the feminine gene passed her by. I looked at her - she's wearing a long skirt, a lacy chamisole under a blue button down blouse, with a jeans jacket over it, and boots. Also blue eye shadow.

3. Co-workers (basically Babs, BYT and Gabe - I've not shown it to anyone else): Think my rash is an insect bite. BYT was thinking spider or bugs.
Babs thought bedbugs. Gabe thought I was most likely right - flea or spider.
I think it was a flea. I remember seeing a tiny flying insect.
I caved and bought Benedryle (by mouth) and took one. And lo and behold, it's better. Mother told me - that she keeps it on hand just for allergic reactions. It's how she dealt with an allergic reaction to a bite once - which sent her to the emergency room (they thought spider). This has one too many bumps for a spider. It looks like flea.
Although how I managed to get bitten by a flea is anyone's guess.
The horticozone helped, but the Benedryle really took care of it. This is the longest that it has stopped itching.
Note to self - when in doubt, take Benedryle for bug bites.
But all this talk about bedbugs being in chairs and fleas - made me come home and inspect my arm-chair. If there are any? They are invisible and I can't see them.
4. Flirted with American Horror Story: Delicate - the one that is show-run by a female writer? And is a contemporary retelling of Rosemary's Baby based on the novel by Danielle Valentine.
Except, there's a problem - all the spider imagery in the marketing campaign and trailers. I cannot do spiders. And the imagery leads me to believe that she's giving birth to a spider. Just no.
I'm an arachnophobe. I wasn't born that way. I was taught to fear spiders at any early age. Kind of traumatized by them. Over and over again from the age of 6 to the age of 28. I won't bore you with all the ways folks found to either deliberately or inadvertently scare me with spiders.
At this point, I can look at a tiny spider. But that's about it.
Emma Roberts states she's afraid of spiders - and yet here are all these spiders being shown with her in a marketing trailer. Also in the credits to the series.
Anyhow, while hunting trailer for it - I landed on this.. Episode Two: The South Tower - it's a National Geographic Documentary about 9/11.
It's also the day I became a New Yorker for life. ( Read more... )
