The current head pain cycle's down to sporadic spikes of sorta-migraines, nausea and a permanent sinus ache. I feel pretty good, believe it or not. I sleep as much as I can, avoid dairy and am considering reducing wheat. I don't know what to do anymore. Because I felt better than I had, and we hadn't been out together in a while, The Hub and I took ( Read more... )

Yesterday was hard. Hearing about MCA no longer being among the living slammed into me. I found tears on my face at random times throughout the day, not even noticing that I'd been crying. It was a long day full of wall-to-wall Beastie Boys as my soundtrack, while I applied for jobs and dealt with my email. I wrote a little, not much. During the ( Read more... )

Decided to attempt to get a case manager to help me find a career/job, so I've been going to orientations and workshops at a local office. The people I meet are a random assortment of ex-cons, execs experiencing joblessness with 5 years to retirement, shabby folks with obvious mental illnesses, and extremely perky people. I try not to think too ( Read more... )

Saturday, my friends Julie and Brian had a Farewell to LA party at her Aunt Anne's house. Anne lives with her partner Sergey, a mad Russian scientist, in a house in Santa Monica with a delightful garden, atop a hill. The party got even awesomer than that preamble. The Hub dropped me off and went to play a pick-up gig at a coffee house with a friend ( Read more... )

Lately, I either an oddly erotic dream--you know, the ones that are sort of unpleasant, but the tone of everything seems like there should be some sex happening--or nightmares that are basically the uncoiling of every single horrible thing I've seen or imagined in my entire life. I like a good nightmare to wake me up or give me a case of the ( Read more... )

Today, I applied to a couple more places. Office work. The best thing about them is that they're nearby ( Read more... )

Saturday, The Hub and I had lunch at Native Foods in Culver City. I wanted some vegan eats, instead of the horrible pseudo-Mediterranean Daphne's, which is near the movie theater we like to see bigger releases at. I had a spicy burger and seasoned fries, and he had a portobello burger. He yummed it up, so I'm glad we have a place to go to instead. ( Read more... )

I don't want to be one of those cafe or library writers, but the cat may drive me to it. She gets Kitty Crazies intermittently from 10 in the morning until about noon, which is when my mentals come online for writing. Night's good for me, but since I don't live alone, it's not good for Hubby Time if he's home. On the other hand, this may be a ( Read more... )

Happy New Year ( Read more... )

The Hub and I went to see Scott Pilgrim vs. the World Saturday and loved it. I think the film was the best comic book movie adaptation movie I'd ever seen. The casting was right and the director--Oh, Edgar Wright, you are now my new director boyfriend!--not only didn't mind that the source material was a comic, he let the comic be the second ( Read more... )
