A note on formality levels: for supernatural beings, the formality level for Japanese would be encoded in their name/form of address.

First piece of anecdata suggests that friends who meet as adults use the [lastname]-san form of address constantly. Friends who meet as children may begin and continue using [personal name]-chan.


Oogh. I think I need to double check one of those, and possibly I need some more verbs. Maybe not, my vocab is probably just there enough that I just need to focus on the grammar rules and deal with the limited sentences I have. Either way, I need to work on my kanji.

The Prop 8 decision bullshit is going to drive me bloody nuts. I keep jumping every time NPR mentions something about it. Either which way he rules, too, it's going to be a vicious fight, it's just that one way we have a fighting chance and the other way, well, I get to be very depressed and very pissed off for the next several hours. Then I fix it in fiction. I just don't know what I'm going to do about keeping some kind of steadiness in my state of mind till we hear one way or another. I really want to throttle people over it, though. And tell them to get some goddamn sense.

Ah well. Makeup is coming next week. Leotards haven't come yet but hopefully will come later this week. Bento today and Friday are the last of the spaghetti sauce with whatever tubeish noodles I had to hand, and a crapton of fruits and vegetables, so healthy eating is still apparently on the menu. Lots of raw food eating, too, although I need to go back to my list and add in a little variety. Might be time for more experiments. I need to order the backup Silk Spectre costume, some things for the aunt, and probably call the PT place in about an hour. And the doctor. And go to the bank. And and and. This might mean it's time for an organizational post of things to do wherein I just cross things off the list.

Oof. Am also developing a headache, though thankfully more of the ordinary kind, I think. Still, self-evaluation says energy levels flagging. Definitely early bed tonight, even if it just means curling up in bed and reading a book rather than early sleep. I've been reminded by my fellow baby courtesans that I've been going at a pretty hard pace for at least two weeks and therefore am likely to crash, might as well mitigate that crash by resting as much as I can and still get stuff done. Wig shopping this weekend, too. And if I'm lucky, assembling Cheetara.

The back saga may or may not be continuing. There's some achiness today, more so than there has been although it feels more like sore muscles from use rather than sore muscles from having torn or injured something. Maybe shouldn't have started with those specific exercises just yet, but now I know that. And I took two Aleve the moment I got out of bed with that kind of ache, so hopefully that'll get me through the day without falling over again. It has so far.

Oi. Yeah, definitely getting tired, which means it's time to make an organizational list so I don't miss anything and start knocking down those tasks one by one. I've been recently reminded that one of the slightly stranger but more useful things my childhood/formative experience has given me is a tendency to self-evaluate more and be self-aware of a lot of aspects I think most people usually aren't. Both in terms of mental/emotional and physical health. Witch training, and co-counseling as a kid (I have seriously no way to explain what this is, especially since I've never been around it as an adult, but the way Mom describes it I'd say it's partly the source) and various other things. The only problem is, when I run into problems I don't have clear perspective on, not enough experience that I can self evaluate, whatever, I wind up feeling like a failure because I can't figure this out myself.

... which actually isn't the case right now, I'm just rambling some thinky thoughts. Anyway. Making the list, setting 'em up, knocking 'em down. Let's get going.
