Thinks I have recently thunk
-Despite the fact that Zach Nichols is only my third of fourth favorite character on the show (Goren and Eames tie for first, then Rodgers, then he has to duke it out with Wheeler), he is definitely the most shippable. I honestly cannot think of a character I could not write him with.
Well, maybe Deakins and Carver, because a) they never met, and b) I am allergic to shipping married people to others.
-Dear Gillian Anderson: You ceded the Martha Gellhorn role to Nicole Kidman? I don't think you understand this, Gillian, but there were two different movies. No ceding was necessary. And now you're going to be in Johnny English 2? Not that Rowan Atkinson isn't a perfectly lovely man, but you can do better.
-Sometimes I think the only thing I don't love about being mixed race is that I get both the POC anger and the white guilt. And then I realize that, weirdly, I love that too. It makes me feel like if I could just sit down with people and talk to them one at a time, we could work this all out.
-The problem with having a vivid imagination and OCD is twofold. One, there is no image that has not ever popped into your mind, unbidden and full of horrendously vivid full-color detail. Two, once that image is there, it will return to you, over and over. And over. And. Over.
I have some visualization exercises to temporarily get rid of unwanted thoughts/images, and over time the flow of new information will dull the impact and frequency of them. But still. Aarrgh.
-I really miss my dogs. I know they've been missing longer before and been just fine, but I'm worried about them, especially Plenty, who is old and deaf, and blind in one eye. She's still smart as a whip, but...just...damn, I wish she was home, and Sandy too. None of the shelters for a hundred miles radius has them. The people I contacted were really sweet and encouraging and helpful, though.
