SO MUCH TO DO

even the exercise physiologist was all WTF

She's done a lot of work with diabetics and she's seen nothing like my complete overreaction to 10 minutes of pedaling my feet around. I will obviously be pointing this out to the endocrinologist but it's not making me happy.

As suspected my pickings were very slim for African American authors in genres I actually read. I've read enough Easy Rawlins to know I don't really like the character (but the library has it). Regardless of ethnicity, I'm not much of a P.I. fan. The libray only had Blair Underwood's series about a sleuth named Tennyson who is a barely successful actor/ ex-gigalo whose dad is a cop (which sounded like so much wish fullfilment that I passed) but it's also of a trope I'm thoroughly tired of 'I'm blamed for murder, must prove myself innocent.' The college library has one by a lady and it's paranormal YA. I think I'll go get that. I did pick up Oliver Twist but I'm not sure I'm feeling it. I may just get one from teh college library one I don't know. My problem is the classics are old and they usually smell like mildew and I can't read those. The new YA fantasy my library wanted me to read was back and it smells like smoke. GAH.

Since I told sp23 I would here are my thoughts on last week's Touched premiere ( minor potential, lots of uh... )

anyone want a cat? I'll hurl it at you.

I haven't slept in 2 days. WTF? It's all anxiety dreams too. I have no idea why. THis morning I had a dream where someone was screaming her friend was attacked and her jaw was broke. One was an older woman and the other looked developmentally challenged. I stoop down to check her and she was bleeding then the old woman goes to confront the attacker who was wearing superhero garb and she beats the hell out of him and then the ambulance comes for him and I'm trying to get them to come help the hurt woman. That's when I realize we're in a hotel and I'm dressed in some sort of cosplay. The police come in and spray freeze all of us. The alarm goes off but I'm too deep into REM sleep and I have sleep paralysis and the alarm is just getting louder and louder. I would have thought the anxiety and insomnia would have been over the weekend.

Haven't touched my big bang in 2 weeks. Having to remove all my subplots has made it difficult to space the mystery
