shadowkatHoh-hum.
Discoveries:
1. While benadryle works wonders on sinuses, it makes me feel somewhat sluggish and depressed.
2. Lindt chocolate, specifically the truffles, has gluten in it and causes great pain when eaten.
3. Do not get embroiled in emotionally heated debates about a tv show, especially if the subject matter has anything at all to do with rape. (One would have thought I'd learned this lesson in 2002, but I am dense, see points 1 & 2.)
4. Rain is a good thing, it smothers mold spores.
5. What I disliked last year, I appear to like this year and what I liked, I dislike. Methinks I'm fickle. Or just easily bored?
Lusts:
1. The OUTSIDERS DVD - recut and re-edited with additional scenes. (Ahhhh...the nostalgia. Saw this baby by my lonesome back in high school or junior high, loved it.)
2. Feast of Crows by George RR Martin ( which I'd rather read than Clash of Kings, but need to read Clash of Kings to get to the good stuff in Storm of Swords...and soon Feast of Crows. Yes, I've skimmed ahead into Storm of Swords. I know no shame.)
3. Anatasi Boys by Neil Gaiman ( no clue why, since I wasn't overly fond of the other books while reading them. Gaimen is weird. I slug through the book, but afterwards it haunts me forever and I feel an odd desire to read more of his work. I think I'm in love with the world's he creates, but dissatisfied with the characters and keep thinking if I stick with him long enough I'll hit upon a character I adore and be in heaven?)
4. Corpse Bride - plan on seeing Friday, which I'm taking off as a me day.
5. Serenity - no clue when I'll see it, hope soon.
6. Veronica Mars...looking forward to it this week, hope does not disappoint, like all the other premiers have.
Frustrations:
1. gluten-free diet - I've made it four months without bread. Last time had pizza was July 2. I miss it. That and donuts, muffins, pancakes, bread, pasta, sigh...did buy gluten free baking batter to hopefully attempt to make muffins or cookies, will see if works this weekend.
2. coming up with a list of things want to try.
3. reading the wrong chapter for class (Sunday read chapter 4 instead of chapter 9, which was assigned. Ugh.
Sunday was a day of flubs all around. I should have stayed in bed or just watched tv that entire day, wait I sort of did, just did not regrettably stay off the internet. I get lonely, I come here, and write. Bad. Wait, doing it again. Very bad.)
4. Almost finished Season 2 Dead Like Me and I'm missing it already.
5. trying to see friends has become a scheduling nightmare, for some reason I saw people more when I was broke and unemployed than now...
6. stuck on chapter 11 of my novel...worrying over the writing again, hence getting stuck, methinks I should not read any posts about professional writing, the writing process or getting published for a long long time, they always give me writers block or a complex.
7. researched democratmatch.com as a singles site, looks cool. But not sure what the heck to put down. Favorite tv shows, writers, etc? Drawing a blank. Actually not, just too cowardly to put BTVS, BSG, Nip/Tuck or Veronica MArs, BTVS, Nip/Tuck. Also favorite writers? It's a mood thing. They vary. How do you limit to one? May wait until the weekend and do the whole thing with Wales, as she suggested.
Off to make dinner and veg for a bit, before reading some more and attempting to write more on novel.

Date: 2005-09-27 12:08 am (UTC)I'm glad to hear you're liking Season 2 of DLM...I enjoyed the first season but was hoping the second would draw me in more and make me more attached to the characters.

Date: 2005-09-27 12:20 pm (UTC)I keep learning this. It's really interesting to me what attracts one person to one show but not to another. For me the show has to have some sort of emotional resonance, ie. I have to identify with the characters on some level - or I get bored. Not sure if that is true for everyone else or not. Possibly. But wouldn't dare assume one way or the other.
At any rate it makes reading critical reviews of just about anything sort
of useless - unless of course you know that 70% of the time you and the critic agree or have the same taste.

L2. That's weird. I just saw a couple of those titles at Coliseum Books, where I dropped off some flyers for this weekend's Medieval Festival. I saw Terry Pratchett's latest book, Thud, in the window before I went in, so I looked for it on the SF shelf, & I noticed the George R. R. Martin books on the way to the Pratchetts (but didn't know who'd written them). After I didn't find Thud, I couldn't find the Martin books again. I've been wondering if he got out of New Orleans OK--I know he lived there. If I remember right, he actually wrote the restaurant guide for NoLaCon way back in 1988.
L6. Well, now at least I know I can set my VCR to record Lost while I'm watching Veronica Mars. Or vice versa--probably won't decide till I go to do it. I know because last night I taped Kitchen Confidential while I was watching How I Met Your Mother. I missed the premieres of both because of flight delays on the way home from Chicago. From what I saw this week? Doesn't look like I missed much. They both looked pretty dumb. As did Nick B. w/that haircut. Whose idea was that? Alyson H. looked better, but the writers didn't give her much to work with.
F1. Viva Pizza (the place ATPo-NY went for my birthday that time) has some spelt crust & cornmeal crust pizzas. There are probably other pizza places that do the same. Amy's Kitchen has 1 organic pizza w/a rice crust & a whole page on gluten-free products (http://amys.com/special_diets/celiac.php) that says they have--wow, 53 others! Good luck w/the baking--let us know how that goes. And for other stuff in this topic...you have mail.
F3. "I get lonely, I come here, and write. Bad. Wait, doing it again. Very bad.)" Yeah, but there's a bunch of us who like it when you're bad. @>)
F5. Well, you have more free time, & less structured time, when you're unemployed, which leaves you freer to match your friends' schedules. Usually. Somehow, I've had way too little work lately & still not had enough free time. Not sure how that happens.
