this, that, the other
Apr. 16th, 2004 09:47 amThe sun is out but my head still hurts. I find this catagorically unfair. Actually I suspect it's some odd quirk of sinuses, but there we are. Annoying in terms of thinking and getting things done, but on the other hand I've saved tons of money on food since right now about all I can stomach is bowls of cereal. I anticipate a reaction to this later where all I do is dine on pizza. Or possibly the pancetta spaghetti sauce I've been looking forward to making all week.
As I told![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wolfling last night if I was writing this would result in fics where Wes is miserable and Angel pampers and comforts him. I think this goes far to show that ultimately Pet is just my way of doing stress relief. Because I was so sublte in hiding that.
Finished reading one of the history books I bought while over in England. Discovered the life of one Christine de Pisan (or Pizan, depending on who you talk to). Early feminist, one of the first writers, and a woman who basically slammed the men who disagreed with her feminism by saying "Gee, sorry. Wasn't aware your dick was so small that a chick like me could out-man you." though obviously I'm paraphrasing. Either way I immediately said "Cool!" and, also "Huh, wonder if that was me in a past life." Not so much for the writing aspect, per se, but the 'tude, 'cause damn if that wasn't familar-sounding ;)
I was thinking about kinkfic and the various writing quirks that make us all warm and fuzzy inside and I had this insight about what kinds of needs are stories like that fulfilling besides the obvious, but then I got to work and I got all distracted and my head hurt so I lost the whole thing. I remember thinking it was interesting, but it's entirely possible I wasn't of sound mind long enough to judge that correctly. So rather than offering any startling and/or provacative insight, all I'm left with is "Damn it, I still have that yen for some A/W arranged marriage fic." with "God my brain is strange."
Not that the latter is a surprise to anyone.
Today I'm at work, then I'm going to the library (found a book about WWII ration cooking in the US which is nowhere near the one about ration cooking in the UK that I wasn't able to find while over in London, but OTOH it still looks interesting so I figured why not give it a try?), then Bed, Bath & Beyond for things which are not kitchen related, which is a weird thing for me. Then possibly cooking that sauce tonight if my head stops hurting long enough, and then nothing but being lazy and pampering myself.
Oh!! Almost forgot. Prime Suspect 6 is finally going to air over here in America!! WOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Only catch? It's this Sunday at 9pm, which is the same time as the reschedule of 24 and the premiere of Queer as Folk (QAF comes on at 10, but PS is two hours). Argh! I know I can tape one and Tivo the others but - ARGH! Curse them! Curse them, I say!
And now I'm done.
