 | 08:42 pm - No 3-D?
So... apparently my eyes don't work together well enough to let me watch a 3-D movie. Everything is all funky green or red and there is no 3-D just a muddled mess. Which is not the end of the world as luckily the DVD also has a non 3-D version, but I do have a nasty headache from trying to make my eyes behave themselves.
I suppose this really shouldn't surprise me since I've known for some time that I have very little depth perception, which, now that I think about it in relation to the whole 3-D situation makes sense since both require your eyes to work together. Still odd though.

I had to get a spring one!
And, you know, the one that's rattling around.
And the one on a cloud!
Now if I could only get the floating one...
ETA: Got it!

Your result for The Social Persona Test (What kind of man/woman are you?)...
The Rarity (QTAF)Quirky Traditional Alpha Female 
You have an unusual and unbelievably precious combination of traits, especially in a woman. Not only are alpha females extremely rare, but traditional ones with nerdy/geeky interests are even more scarce. Unlike the other types, I can't give you a description because I'm not sure if you actually exists. I know this is not a compatibility test, but you are the girl of my dreams. Please, oh please message me! (Not to sound desperate or anything.) --Bookwyrm85 You are more QUIRKY than NORMAL. You are more TRADITIONAL than LIBERAL. You are more DOMINANT than PASSIVE. When picking a date, consider: Lord of the Misfits (QLAM), The Late Bloomer (QTAM), The Snowball's Chance in Hell (QTBM), or The Manga Geek (QLBM).

So I dreamed last night that I was working in some fairly swanky place. I had a nice office - large, thick carpet, greyish silver walls - just very luxurious and yet homey feeling. It was on the first floor and opened out into a sort of wooded garden with rock stepping stone stairs going up into a foresty glade type thing. However, I was apparently upstairs doing some other things when someone came up to tell me that a co-worker (whom I knew in my dream I had never particularly liked) had decided to use my office for something and somehow my cat had gotten out.
Now you'd have to know my cat, but she's 14 and the only way she'd go outside is to be forcibly dragged kicking and fighting, so I knew this co-worker had somehow managed to throw her out or scare her out. The person who came to tell me said they'd been searching for my cat for half an hour or so and they'd finally decided someone should come tell me.
I was such a mixture of furious and terrified. I ran down to my office and out the door, looking around frantically, and then started up the rock stepping stone stairs. I called for Kachina, not expecting an answer, but suddenly from under the stepping stone next up the stairs, this little black and white head poked right out with her little 'purrup' noise that she makes when she's particularly glad to see me. Then she squeezed out and I scooped her up and she was so scared that she actually let me and purred and purred and I woke up all happy.

So we're doing a show tonight, upstairs in our performance space and downstairs, directly below us, is a loud crazy Pentecostal church service going on.
So, we're trying to do this play adaptation of a Jodi Picoult book about teen suicide - quiet, delicate, and angsty - while underneath us we have people yelling and screaming in Spanish and apparently jumping up and down as the pastor/minister exhorted them to get even louder as he yelled over his microphone and they played really really loud music with miked singing and a full drum kit and people were screeching and Oh. My. God.
It was loud and crazy enough that if I hadn't known what was going on I'd have been a little frightened. It sounded like a riot had broken out, but no, it was just the worship service.
It was a very surreal night. I have no idea how our audience could manage to pay attention. It was all I could do to get through my scene, practically yelling to be heard. And since we're in the room about the size of a small classroom... Shouldn't have to scream to be heard.
The landlord didn't think it should be an issue to have us both there the same night. And in fact, they'll at least be there again during our Sunday matinee this weekend and possibly also there with three or four other church groups for a really rocking get together the last Friday we perform.
We might do better handing out earplugs, giving each audience member a copy of the script and just putting on a slide show.

First... if you have ever been to a big Sci-fi convention?
You need to go see Race to Witch Mountain.
It's cute enough in that Disney way with several fun cameos, but trust me. If you've been to a con...

As some of you know, the father of one of my very best friends has cancer and has not been doing well. He went into the hospital just before Christmas and they thought he probably had less than a year left (which was a shock as previous to that they'd been told he had 8 or 10 years at least, due to the slow-growing type he had). He went downhill pretty rapidly and was moved to a Hospice House two weeks ago.
Last Monday they didn't think he'd make it through the night, but he rallied. The family has all been there off and on since then, and I've been visiting a couple of times a week as I've known them for over 20 years and am considered a part of the family as well. It's been very tough for all of them to watch him slip this way, especially with how much pain he's been in.
Today I got home around 11PM after a really long hard day and found a message saying he'd died around 11:30AM. It's too late to call my friend or reach anyone else who should know so I'll have to try and do that around work and my appointments tomorrow.
I'm glad he's finally at peace. When he was asked last week by the chaplain what he wanted to pray for all he could say was "release".
So if you can spare a minute to think a thought for a good man and a wonderful family, please do so.
As for me, please bear with me if I'm quiet or miss tags or am just not my usual self for a bit. It's a hard time.
rredhead and nppyinzer, J would probably love to hear from you. Drop an email if you want more info.

Okay, so I'm on my third round of antibiotics in four and a half weeks and my second round of oral and inhaled steroids. I actually don't feel too crummy this time - a little stuffy and really exhausted - but not much coughing or anything. It was just that I started not being able to take deep breaths yesterday, which resulted in me feeling constantly out of breath, and I was so exhausted I'd fallen asleep at my computer shortly after 8:30.
Today, I just felt like I couldn't get any air in except very shallowly. So off to the doctor's where my blood oxygen was down to 80%. So nebulizer treatment, tons of meds and I'm feeling a bit better. Of course, I'm lying on my couch and not really needing much deep breathing.
Sounds like this weekend will be yet another lie-on-my-couch-and-doze time.
Oh, and of course, the steroid hungries have kicked in and I'm starving!!
Still, I have 2 large orders of my favorite wonton soup tucked away in the fridge, lots of juice and vitamin water, good books, and some DVD's I haven't seen. Life could be far worse.
