Yeah, I've got nothing

[danceswithwords]

TV stuff:

• Last night's Chuck was waaaaay to slapsticky, and had the flaily sense of a show desperately trying to figure out its tone. Hopefully they nail that down soon.
• I want to point all Heroes-watching people to laurashapiro's extremely smart post on last night's episode.
• I caught some Journeyman last night while folding laundry, and while the show itself

Oh, honey, I had no idea! You seemed so composed on Saturday, even with the work insanity.

::hugs::

Please let me know if there's anything I can do for you.

[danceswithwords]

But Saturday was fun! I seem to be having the most issues dealing with little frustrations and pieces of bad news--and, apparently, John and Aeryn's fictional tragic romance--in a proportional way.

And thank you, but I don't think there is much to do. (Besides, obviously, making whiny LJ entries.) This has been unusual enough, and accompanied by enough other weird things going on with my cycle, that I'm actually going to talk to my doctor about it.

[laurashapiro]

Yeah, that does sound as if something's up. I hope the doctor has useful info for you. ::pets you::

So what I'm hearing is that you need more fun and less bad news. That seems like a winning strategy regardless of what the doctor comes up with.

Good luck with your parents! Meep.

I finally had to admit that my bad moods were out of proportion and probably hormonally induced when I found myself in a blind rage and ready to divorce my husband over a wooden spoon that had been insufficiently rinsed before being placed in the dishwasher. Cutting out almost all caffeine, though annoying, helped tremendously. Calcium supplements are also supposed to help, but unfortunately my brain is so squishy I can never remember to take them.

Also, I'm just getting into Farscape S3--I just watched, I think, Episode 5? the one with the nurses--so I guess it's good to know that I'd better be prepared for tears at the end!

Thank you! Y'all are making me sniffly, which should not be happening. *beats hormones with a stick*

[cofax7]

Oh, dear, I'm so sorry.

You know, if you need to get out over the weekend, feel free to conjure up a pre-existing engagement. You could come over and visit The New Gal! And I would show you Ben and Claudia onstage in the dvd, which is a sure cure for the blues, as they are hysterically funny together.

[cofax7]

Oh, and those BMI index photos are fascinating.

[danceswithwords]

Aren't they? I have big bones and a dense build, and even when I was in the best shape of my life, a size 4, and had basically no body fat, the BMI still called me borderline overweight, so I have what you might call ISSUES with it.

[danceswithwords]

There is no way I can plausibly sneak out on them this weekend, but I would love to take you up on that invitation some other time. Puppydog!

I've been wanting to hang out more with local fans, but after my big adjustment of work/life balance this summer, I've been slow to really absorb the fact that I can kind of have a social life now.

[thassalia]

but watching the end of Season 3 of Farscape on Sunday was probably not my best idea ever, since three hours of tears is murder on the contact lenses.

But totally sound reasoning on the theory that crying everything out will make things better. Except sometimes, not so much!!

Hugs and good luck and gah, hormonal meltdown!!

Plus, brain eating amoeba? Seriously. I did not need to be ascared of anything more serious than salmonella!

Checking swimming in lakes off my list of to dos!

[danceswithwords]

Thank you.

And yes, I think I will not be doing so much lake swimming any more!

[sdwolfpup]

Oh, I'm terribly sorry to hear about your hormonal problems. That's tough to deal with, especially when you've got other stuff going on, like work and your parents visiting (bad timing!), and dealing with the premiere of SGA. *hugs and good thoughts*

[danceswithwords]

I guess I can count it as a win that that last thing just made me angry. And very afraid for this week. *sigh*
