Drive by late night update

Watched Glee . . . uhm . . . they have stolen all the cheeze and possibly the whiz too. Many things annoyed me, and some amused me. I seriously hope they were going for caricatures, because they certainly got them, and not always in a way that was okay for me (materialistic wife who hates her husbands dreams, minorities as spunky but useful backup, driven career girl and christian/slutty/blond cheerleader, evil high-school cliques, etc I could go on and on.

Getting ready to go to Wiscon for my first time. As usual feeling trepidations and shy. I wish I felt more comfortable around people I don’t know. Thank Stephanie that I am going with a friend. Hope she doesn’t mind me clinging like a limpet . . .

Meds are bringing some improvement – but it seems to come in bursts – which is a bit frustrating. And gee mom – of course meds will make up for a lifetime of bad habits and responses. Now that I am medicated, i will become susie homemaker and always have the house clean . . .NOT!! *sigh*

Working on streamlining some life stuff, I will probably trim some folks from LJ. For the most part it isn’t personal, and I suspect that most folks won’t notice or care, but if you do, drop me a line and we can chat about it. If I have time to do some reconnaissance and archiving off old communities that I used to be involved in, I might trim off quite a bit of the more media fannish side and start clean there – and maybe move that bit mostly over to Dreamwith.

Working on getting myself back into guitar playing, starting by “researching” a new playlist. SOSOSO sick of most of the songs I have been playing that I mostly just stopped playing. Some of the ones I want to learn are going to be quite a stretch both vocally and on guitar – and that should be pretty cool.

Garden appears to be moving along – if a bit late. I am trying to learn the plan’s tolerances (cold, heat, wet, dry), and remind myself that i won’t succeed at everything the first year. So far it appears that i’ll have lettuce, onions/leeks, spinach, and maybe carrots and beets. Broccoli looks good so far and so do strawberries. I should have seeds coming up for a bunch of things *VERY SOON NOW* (hint hint). When i come back from WisCon, there will have to be plant supports for tomatoes, beans, peas, and cucumbers. And hopefully it won’t be too late to start squash – cause it just isn’t going to happen until then.

Tried to make a doctor appt today – not that I demand instant service, but it would be nice if when they took your name and number they actually called you back. Was much easier to make a hair cutting appt.

Speaking of which – finally found a hair guy I like, after the last guy got promoted away from me. So of course, this guy is moving on . . . now I must start auditioning stylists again. The way my hair looks you’d never know that I am really picky about who cuts it. Is it too much to have a few vanities, my shoes, my toenail polish and my hair cutting person . . .
