Nov. 24th, 2015 10:47 amIt took me about an hour to wake up enough to get out of bed this morning. With the end result that not only did I get none of the cleaning I wanted to do, done, but I also ended up not exercising because running late on everything. And then I realized that I was getting picked up late and ended up knitting another round rather than picking up anything, so I guess we see... okay, no, not where my priorities are, but rather how much not exercising prevents me from waking up fully and early. Feh.
On the other hand this is the first day in at least a few days I haven't taken DayQuil immediately upon hopping out of the shower because if I don't my backbrain convinces me I'm going to die like Oscar Wilde and my face will deflate to half its size. Okay, the congestion wasn't that bad, but it was pretty bad. Painfully bad. Now it's just sort of, half of one nostril's clogged sometimes and I have to blow my nose and other than that I'm okay. So I guess at this point I can transition to hot leaf juice to encourage me to sleep through the night for a couple of days and then please can I be done being sick? Colds, flus, everything.
Especially since I'm okay, not actually up to write 4k/day on Nanowrimo, but for my peace of mind and not finishing at the last minute that's about what I'm up to trying for today, tomorrow, and Thursday. It might be possible, given that work seems to have slowed to a more reasonable pace and edits are coming along. I don't know how probable, but we'll see.
I don't know what to say about current events except that I want to hide under blankets and not come out until the world stops being horrible again. It's not even being horrible in the way of earthquakes and floods and things, which are horrible but at least you have the, as weird as it sounds, lack of responsibility. Right now the world is horrible in the way of people keep doing horrible things to other people and at my most charitable I want to shake them all and scream at them to stop, don't you see what you're doing?
Along those lines, heh, I watched Jessica Jones 1x01 and 1x02 last night. Reminded about how I am Spiders Georg in that most of what's being shown doesn't bother me in the least, and I spent a good portion of the time sympathizing with her and miming stabbing Kilgrave in the face with knitting needles. I'm a simple woman with simple responses to villains like Kilgrave: boot to the head, fist to the face, bullet to the forebrain. I think that's a large part of why I like fiction like this, partly because Jessica Jones' general response to things seems to be to grit teeth and be all "FINE. YOU ARE GIVING ME SHIT TO WORK WITH. I WILL WORK WITH THIS SHIT. AND FIX IT. AND DEAL WITH YOU." and partly because she gets to be blunt and violent and disinclined to put up with bullshit in the way that I probably would be if I were her. Also the noir. I have a big thing for noir and pulp and Raymond Chandler and so on.
And I continue to mainline Inuyasha. And probably find some other anime to watch after that, but mostly there's a little voice in the back of my head that's all Inuyasha all the time and giggling over the ridiculousness of it. I'd forgotten how much I do enjoy some anime. Might even take a chance on other shows after this. I don't know. We'll see.
