I am waiting for the Callen-Lorde center to call me back. I am headed into work in teh meantime, as now I know that any atempt at normal food is complete idiocy and misery, I'm managing this nightmare pretty well. Hopefully I can get an appointment somewhere today, because waiting this thing out seems so not on the agenda.

Part of me is having an adolescent fantasy involving paying for services there with my parents' credit card in a "how not to come out #6853" gesture.

Meanwhile, something about being ill last night made me not give a damn enough to finish the draft of some het for Descensus that's been sitting on my harddrive for months, so hopefully you'll see that soon.
I've not read it yet, but this is worth linking blind -- via [livejournal.com profile] alterjess: Harry Potter and the Eagle of Truthiness.

I, meanwhile, have a doctor's appointment at 2:10.
I'm not a particularly big follower of celebrity news -- gossip or otherwise. I mean, I absorb it, we all do, and I do read interviews with or articles about folks I think are neat, but for the most part, it's just random filler, if that. There's very little I make an effort to keep up on, beyond HP news (casting announcements and release dates). The exception is Baz Luhrmann's projects, and I just have to say, I hate that I do it, because reading the constant funding/no funding/movie is go/movie is not go _thing_ makes me crazy. It's a little dorky, but there it is. His work matters to me and that there keeps almost and then not being more of it makes me nuts. I've just promised myself I'm not going to look at Ezboard for a week. Actng sucks in terms of a business with stress levels, but maaaaan, am I glad not to be on that side of things.

Feh.
So a while ago, there was this idea that I had, to write what might, or might not be a one-woman (yes woman) show about Oscar Wilde, wher eI would get to play Wilde. Everyone I've mentioned this to, either thinks it's a brilliant idea, or a really terrible one, but the force is so intense it seems worthy of pondering. The results of the recent photo shoot have me back on teh mental track with it again, although I've no more idea of it now, than when I first said it to be funny months ago. But I think i do need to sit down and read through _everything_ of his again, and see if I can find the thread I'm looking for. I'm a small woman, with an intense interested in characters (real and imagined) who are interested in the nature of their ugliness. Wilde was a huge man, who I think we're somewhat prone to imagining quite differently -- afte all we assume the dandy must be delicate. And somewhere in all of this, there is something that therefore makes this admittedly random idea make sense.

This brought to you by new icons and unexpected Velvet Goldmine on IFC.
