The root of what happened earlier was absolutely food. I've eaten, and finally feel steady and today was the first time I didn't have a solid lunch before riding. Lesson learned.

Am watching disc 6 of HH. I have nothing reasonable to say, and will contain my girlish sighs, at least to these pointless sentences. Am I buying this box set next time the Germans deign to pay me? Oh yes, oh yes. Bad, bad swoony me.

Lost in Translation came in today too, so I will finally see that soon (tomorrow seems unlikely for reasons discussed below).

Am still crazed by the brilliance that is Closer. Read it twice. It has the same sort of hateful brilliance as Les Liasons Dangereux while being something else entirely. Certainly, no one in it is very clever. There's something to be said for an examination of the flaws of modern people who think themselves clever in unmodern ways.

My background call isn't until noon tomorrow (I had been told 6am originally) so I am thrilled, and will put in a few hours of ordinary work anyway first.

Have invites to some movie premier some such tomorrow, which I will go to if I manage to get out of said filming in time, which is extremely debateable, but so it goes. Certainly, if that doesn't sort out, Vanity Fair opens tomorrow, and I'm thoroughly crazed about that too.

Weirdly, tsarina found my name in an article about the new mounting of Counsellor (referencing the recent past cast). I suppose one should be grateful for all publicity ("where have I heard that name before?"), but it felt a little strange. On a related note, James' Aussie play series thing starts this week, and I may have comps for that too -- if not, I'll probably endeavor to go anyway.

It occurs to me that my fear of falling off the horse comes not from any real notions about the variable dangers of such a thing, but is entirely rooted in my own lack of confidence about my flesh's ability to endure... well... anything. Like pretty much everything else I've done, it's registering to me that this too requires a bit of faking it along the way. So be it.

Yes, will watch more RNC tonight, just so I can critique speeches and feel like I performed some sort of random civic duty no one really has any interest in anymore.

Also, default icon change, because... dude... I was curled up in a chair being small... yuck. And until I get new pictures this one is at least making me laugh.

Blarghy.

I think my point is that need to be a little smart to process in the [sometimes misguided] way that they do.

*nod*nod* definitely. Granted, it's really hard for me to look at the play with any sort of objectivity because of the degree to which the tone of the situation, if not the details, are a bit too personally familiar to me.

my final comment, I promise, my stepmother's remark to me the other day, "I wish you'd have a relationship that lasts longer than a carton of milk. You deserve a healthy, good relationship .....[long, inexplicable pause].....someday."
