Just want to say hello.
Mar. 9th, 2006 03:01 pmYou know the day's not going to go well when you wake up with a headache. Seriously, why does that happen? I slept pretty well -- I'm a good sleeper in general, and don't know why this would happen. Usually the only thing that can actually cure my headaches is sleeping. But since I got it while sleeping this time, logic says that that wouldn't work. So I guess the only thing I can do is suck it up. I hate sucking things up. <--- Don't comment on that.
There has been a lot of drama in my life lately. A lot a lot. Some of it was really making me question my own sense of self and all that (existential crisis?). I mean, you kind of have to, when stuff like that comes up, because if you don't it's like you're just burying your head in the sand. Anyway, things are slowly resolving themselves. Not in a cotton-candy way; the end results aren't exactly ideal, but at least I've found my footing again and can have some perspective on the situation(s).
(Seriously, is there anything more annoying than a telemarketer? I don't blame the poor people doing their jobs, but the acts of telemarketing/spamming/junk mail should be OUTLAWED.)
Re: the Oscars. This was possibly the least interesting (to me) Academy Awards in awhile. I saw only one of the best picture nominees (the one that won, and I was one of the few online people who was glad about it, it seems), and everything else kind of went right over my head. I was bummed that "Chronicles of Narnia" didn't get a nom in the score category; I thought it was fabulous.
I've finally finished the 4th Darren Shan book. Don't have much to say about it, since it seemed like more of a bridge (a la OotP) than anything. About to start the 5th. Also am almost done w/ Prince Caspian (I've only ever read The Lion, etc.). At this point the Christian allegories are coming hot and heavy. Also, I don't like Susan. And I have warmed to Edmund. Peter still my favorite by far.
I haven't written a word (story wise) in weeks. My desire/ability to write seems to have deserted me. The only thing I'm good for now is betaing Jade's stories (two of which are in my inbox). In fact, I should go do that, before MM members flay me.
And, hi everyone. :-)
