I am too busy. My own fault, my own passion, my own neurosis to be so, but I am too busy.

Largely, this realization is the result of the fact that my stomach is still wack. I'm managing it better now, my energy actually feels normal (which is weird, as I can still hardly eat anything other than starch), my brain is better about it, and when I do eat something that sets it off I recover faster, but how much sleep I am, or am not, getting seems to be a huge factor (that and stress, god I did a number on myself with that family shit). And the fact is I can't let myself work work work and then just crash. I need down time -- stupid time even.

Ah well.

I got my first offer from Associated Content. But I still have about 11 articles sitting in the hopper waiting for offers. Hopefully they'll be good. This is an interesting cash stream, and how I'm going to pay for the Snape coat (speaking of, I love that Rickman just won't answer questions about the character - I mean, how could he, and it's probably annoying besides, but still I'm glad).

Suttlers can, in fact, make my Regency coat. They're sending me a measurement sheet and we're getting it in order.

Sylvia Fay is _finally_ having a new SAG registration next week, so that's good too.

Tomorrow I get to see Kali deliver an academic paper. It's the weirdest of refuges for me. But while it's work for her, hanging about listening to people be smart isn't for me. And I get to sit still, and be amused. It's truly one of the most thorough and precise representations of the hazy borders of my life there is.

Lost is starting to annoy me again. Mainly a lack of new episodes I suppose. Still Said is the best thing to happen to TV in _ages_. The character has all the complexities we assume our other TV antiheroes have, if they were better written or not on network or whatever. Oh, and have finally caught up on Big Love. I think I need a Big Love t-shirt from the HBO site, so strangers can argue with me about the show. Man does this program piss people off!

I've seen one episode of Big Love, and to be honest, I didn't see what all the fuss was about. It didn't seem that "out there". Jeanne Tripplehorn and Ginnifer Goodwin were both extremely lovely, though.

I think Big Love drives everyone nuts because it pisses everyone off -- religious people get offended, non-religious peopel get squicked by all the religion, polyamorous people are squicked by the heteronormativeness of polygamy, monogamous people get put off that some of the polygamy looks so normal, etc. I've been witness to more really insane arguments about this show.

So polyamorous people are squicked by the fact that they're making polygamy look normal? They want it to be seen as odd?...

I'm missing something here.

No, polyamorous people are squicked by the idea that a man gets to have multiple wives, but a wife doesn't get to have multiple partners. In my circles, heteronormative is a pejorative.

Oh, I wasn't thinking "heteronormative"="patriarchal". I just didn't see multiple anything as "normative".

But I see what you're saying now.

Academic paper presentations can be great, or just lame. Half the questions are professors trying to show off their own knowledge v. providing any helpful questions or suggestions. Nevertheless, I kind of like them. Not that I've ever invited any of my significant others because I hate my chirpy speaking voice.

It must be the end of the world. I didn't think that Sylvia Fay was ever going to do a new SAG registration ever again. Of course, I haven't seen the information for this one yet. If I can't find it in Backstage, may I pester you for details?

they are so bitchy about headshots. Mine are way older than that, but look _exactly_ like me. I can't imagine they'd have cause to notice. Ah well.

On a side note, I assume you saw the Harry Potter reading series in Westchester?

Oh, that's too rich.

I should submit, eventhough accents are not my forte (which is purely a mental block on my part). It would be some sort of poetic misery for me to be Hermione.
