- Worst PMS in a long time. High levels of anxiety and pain. Much more under control today than yesterday, but it feel tenuous. Not enjoying it. Trying to track back over the last month and figure out cause (my guess is a secret source of soy I'm not noticing as once I cut soy after the whole mom breast cancer drama things got much better for me).

- Lots of freelance writing.

- The missing Patty thing has hit the Really Hard stage, although that's got to be partially related to item 1. Not that I don't really miss her, but this is what our lives look like and it was such a feature from the very beginning of our relationship (we dated for less than a month before she went on a dig) that it's a very matter of fact thing. I mean, of course I have a partner who is periodically far away that I have to write letters to on paper. I never thought about it before, but it is sort of amazing how much both of our lives revolve around old/lost things, even if in entirely different ways. So yeah.

- I'm really wanting to go out dancing. Not big band, not any of my historic shit, but I just want to go to a club and dance to some trashy modern music. And not all that bleepy bleep bleep stuff that doesn't have words, because I don't get that really.

- Still listening to that Imogen Heap song on repeat. Why is it so good?

- Cyberwoman is a way less sucky episode once you've gone and watched all the rest of Torchwood, because then you actually care! On the other hand, it's still filled with OMGWTFBBQ, and in the case of the BBQ, kinda literally. I still can't decide if Jack and Ianto were fucking at this point, although I do feel more convinced that kiss was Jack trying to use his "excess life" powers on Ianto there, because seriously, while that might not make a lot of sense, does any other theory somehow make more sense? Not really. Also, wow, what a bad actor day for everyone in that episode.

- Lots of freelance writing on disability issues lately, which is interesting, because I always have to research -- it's always stuff I know nothing about, as opposed to Deaf-related or immune-disordered or something I know about like that.

Oh, I didn't mean in terms of the quality of the acting, I just mean, what shitty things to get stuck doing all day/week -- that poor woman who played Lisa in that costume! GDL having to do that much crying -- yuck yuck yuck. And water and crappy effects. Not a fun shoot I'd have to imagine.

Ooooh. Understanding blossoms.

Yeah... I like the *episode* but I really disliked the cyberwoman costume. It was sooooo cheezy. It made no sense. Even if you were making 1/2 armored cybermen, wouldn't you protect the guts? Protect that torso! But then it can't be all sexay.

*stab*

I mentally labeled it the Cybersploitation episode. Ever seen any of the promotional material for Coffy (http://www.impawards.com/1973/coffy.html)? Yeah, like that. The same sense of "Ooooh, the Other and she's dangerous and check out that navel! Dayumn!"
