A Bunch of Things Make a Post
February seemed to last forever but March has been an eye-blink....
+++
I'm so glad iZombie's new season is airing. I love the characters so much, and the worldbuilding going on is so interesting.
+++
I finally got to see Black Panther and Thor: Ragnarok on St. Patrick's Day, so it kind of felt like the day had a theme. Plus, two meals with and many mostly fannish conversations with a good friend.
It was a very clear night and apparently in her area of Somerville, NJ that means a lot of visible stars. She talked of being able to see Orion in different parts of the sky over the course of a year and seemed amused over my surprise at seeing anything other than an occasional visible single star here and there. Even an outer borough of New York City doesn't have good options for stargazing.
+++
Watching a gif set on Tumblr reminded me that I can easily do the Vulcan salute right-handed but it's more difficult for my left hand.
+++
Wes Anderson's Isle of Dogs looks horrifying. The visual style isn't appealing to me at all.
+++
I've spent so much time unwillingly asleep this winter that I almost look forward to my usual warm weather insomnia. At least I hope I'll be able to sleep less soon.
I'm not sure when the new season will actually start though, since temperatures have been up and down for months and NYC's recent fourth nor'easter in three weeks brought us several inches of snow on the first official day of spring, though a lot of it has already melted. Seasons, what are those?
+++
I just found out that the outer edge of my left eyelid and brow has been pushed up more for about the last two years due to the Botox injections I get every three months for my headaches and it doesn't matter that the same amount of Botox and same areas are injected on each side of my face. I'll have to talk to my neurologist about this and see if there's any change we can make when I go back for more in three months since I don't like my face looking more asymmetrical and have actually been plucking my right eyebrow to accentuate its arch more in an effort to even things out a bit visually. (It was an ophthalmologist/cosmetic surgeon who figured the Botox connection out for me.) It's supposedly just a cosmetic issue, not any sign of danger, but it bothers me, especially when it comes to doing makeup.
+++
I needed a new prescription for a med I take and made an appointment with a different doctor in the pain management office I go to since the one I was switched to there in December was awful and made me feel like a hopeless case and like she thought I wasn't worth her time. The one I saw this time is the one I used to see years ago. When I told him about the things she said he told me I'm not hopeless and I could see him. However, I don't like him as much as Dr Bax since this one doesn't feel really present, just prompts me to talk and spends the whole time looking down, occasionally writing things. Still better than Dr "You tell me what medications I should put you on [since nothing I know works well enough for you or doesn't give you serious side effects so it's all your fault]" but I miss Bax so much and wish I found out why he left since I would've followed him.
...maybe that's why the office didn't tell me where he went to.
The practice has two locations, one in Syosset I go to and one in New Hyde Park, which I went to years ago and came back to this time. I'd forgotten how bad the New Hyde Park location feels to me. It's dark and cramped and windowless, and this time it smelled of urine in several places. It's also in a building with a confusing layout that it's difficult to find parking at. The Syosset office is an additional nine miles and ten (highway) minutes but the experience there is so much better and less hopeless feeling. For the next appointment I'll be seeing the same doctor as this time but at the Syosset office.
