to put it bluntly, some female problems, and bad TV
I was sooo fatigued this past week. One month it's Excedrin-level cramping, the next it's geez-I-want-to-pass-out-on-my-keyboard-at-work. It was hard to stay focused, and I felt like I was just treading water, staying in place for most of the week. I even broke my own coffee ban to try to get more focused. Now I have to redouble my efforts next week to make up for it. My department has 5 proposals due on the same day at the end of this month. :-( Maybe I should set up a flex fund just for acupuncture treatments or something, because I think something's out of whack. Something that's probably too subtle for Western medicine to pick up on or treat.

Bad TV Funniness:
Last week I sat through an episode of that vampire TV series Moonlight. I just cannot take it seriously. It wants to be too many things at once -- unrequited romance with sexy will-they-or-won't-they tension, horror, supernatural thriller, hardboiled detective drama, action... The best thought I had about last week's ep was, "I feel like I'm watching a bad vampire romance novel," during the scene when the two main characters end up fully clothed and soaking wet in a fabulously roomy shower together.
She, some kind of internet celebrity/investigative journalist, has taken a trendy new street drug made out of really gross stuff that make her, shall we say, uninhibited. She shows up at the door of the sexy vampire-object of her affection and basically throws herself at him. More so than usual. He has principles or something though, and won't sleep with a beautiful woman who's obviously under the influence. Did I mention that she already has a devoted detective boyfriend? Did I mention that vampire guy saved her when she was a child and has been keeping an eye on her ever since? So anyhow, he half-carries, half-drags her into his fabulously roomy shower and turns on the water full blast to sober her up. (Such a nice shower was being wasted in the home of a single guy anyway.) Naturally, he has to hold her in his manly arms from behind as she struggles in her delerious *coughhornycough* state. She mostly breathes heavily and pants out lines such as, "Turn me around, please, I want to see you." Or something like that. He mostly stands there holding her up while looking concerned, as the water causes his shirt to cling nicely to his manly form.
I think I just about died laughing at that part. I sense...drinking game potential!
