I was totally going to cave in to all y'alls peer pressure and check out Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog and then post some long missive about how I am now totally hooked on it and I hate you all now. That was my intention anyway, but alas the site's been down all morning. I guess the effusive declarations of my hatred will be preemptive.

Still tired. Still depressed, and therefore still completely unfocused. Yesterday was cramplicious, and that on top of the ongoing Crohn's attack I've been having for the past coupla weeks meant that a good chunk of last night was spent lying down in pretty horrible pain. No really, there were a couple of moments where I could have sworn I'd gotten kicked in the lower back by a draft horse. Not fun.

Finally reading Belladonna. Took me a bit to get started with it, as I had to reread Sebastian first, and after that the beginning of the second book failed to grab me. It does pick up a bit after the first couple of chapters, but so far I'm kind of grumpy with it. Reserving final judgement until the end of the book. Kind of annoyed with Anne Bishop currently - She can build fantastic engaging worlds and set up a story well, but she sucks at wrapping them up effectively - she has this problem in all three of her series, and while it was entirely forgivable in the Black Jewels trilogy, not so much with Ephemera or The Pillars of the World. Bah. I don't know. I'm not finished with Belladonna, so maybe she'll surprise me. Maybe.

With the re-Internetting of EPeen I actually sat down and began to write some of the story I've had kicking around my head for the past couple of months. Actually had at least a couple of pages of good stuff before I began to fall asleep at the keyboard, and in a half-asleep stupor, closed OpenOffice Writer and clicked the "don't save" option as I was doing so. DESK-ON: APPLY DIRECTLY TO THE FOREHEAD. Ah well. I didn't lose anything too vital, and the time spent was beneficial in hashing out some character stuff so it wasn't a waste. I did manage to work a bit on the plot outline (which I did save yay) so... yeah. Gonna try to work on that some in the days ahead.

So much to do, and now no excuse other than sheer lazy to not do it, as the compy is back up and running. Also need to drag my ass back to the gym this afternoon cause I've been tired and lazy all week so far. So not feeling any of it right now. I'd much rather crawl back into bed. Bah.

Yay saprophytophobia!

A long ass time ago when doing mold patrol in the kitchen, beatgoddess came up with an amusing system of euphemisms to refer to things getting moldy. I think it started when beat looked at a loaf of bread and quickly chucked it into the trash, and when I asked if it was moldy the response was "what? um, oh, no. It's just... a little grumpy."

Cue a long tradition of bread products with mood swings.

I am actually rather impressed with myself. This morning I encountered something in the bread basket that could only be described as ANGRY. Like full on, Incredible Hulk pissed off (and about the same color too.) And much to my surprise I did not immediately flee the room screaming. Of course, I couldn't bring myself to dispose of it either - that would have required actually approaching and touching it, which... no. But seeing that, realizing what it was and then sort of staring at it in fascinated disgust rather than freaking out... big improvement. Or maybe I was just too groggy to have a full on hysterical fit, who knows. Be kinda nice if I were actually somewhat outgrowing it though... I've always felt really silly about being scared of mold. Talk about your messed up irrational phobias.

Okay yeah, that was pretty damn funny. Joss needs to write more musicals.

Gonna go find a copy of Once More with Feeling now.

This is definitely one of those days that started with everything all sewn up and gradually unravelled to the point where I kinda want to cuddle a bottle of Jack Daniels. Not that I even like whiskey all that much (unless I want to get stupid drunk hella fast).

No, nothing new or even remotely interesting happened. Just an extension and maybe an intensifying of that general despair that's been chasing me all week that is, in itself, probably hormonal.

Time to go take meds and then take today out behind the barn and shoot it.
