Okay, so I've been very absent lately. If you didn't notice, well then, never mind and move along. There's nothing interesting to see here. If you did wonder somewhere in your hind brain, here's the scoop.
It started off with my irritation over RaceFail 09 and sort of got extended. I've had no idea of anything to post or comments to make. It's the same all the way around everywhere. Last week all I heard from my RL peeps was "where you been?" I hadn't realized that I'd fallen quite so completely off the map. I've been disinterested and fatigued and just NOT interested in anything. Period. At all. Well, turns out I'm anemic and that explains my incredible disinterest in pretty much anything that isn't sleeping. I haven't been writing and it doesn't look like I'm going to pull a rabbit out of the hat in time for Grazie Prego. On the to-do list is to let the mods know.
I did, however, complete my first vid. You can find it in the previous post. It's an I Am Legend vid to Lisa Germano's From a Shell. I have ideas for a Buffy vid that may or may not happen seeing how not in love I am with Windows Movie Maker.
As for the anemia, I am feeling better, but I've been in the doldrums since early February. I'm trying to correct the problem through diet and regular multivitamins before I go the iron supplement route. For some reason I'm just balking at the thought of taking them. It's working so far. I actually had a hamburger yesterday for the first time in years. I've been eating beets and I've bought some chicken livers. I think, however, that the multivitamin has been doing the most good. We'll see. I do plan to take the iron supplement (at the lowest possible dosage) and wait and see.
In other news, I am becoming increasingly fond of Dollhouse. November and Sierra are my loves at the moment. I'm fascinated by the morality of the show, but I don't think that it's something I care to discuss. It's not a comfortable show to watch but I like it all the same. I'm also flirting quite shamelessly with Castle which isn't especially good but I get to see the naughty twinkle in Nathan Fillion's eye every week and that's good enough for me. If they don't renew Terminator and Life I just might jump off a building.
As my energy returns I'm shopping up a storm: I'm totally in love with these caged booties by Chinese Laundry and I've bought a sexy pair of bronze heels by Dollhouse. Then there's all of the cute summer dresses, most recently one in coral and one in turquoise.
So ... that's me. I hear there's a Great Migration and I suppose I'll show up once everyone is settled and it's a guarantee. I'm not going through the IJ thing again.

Date: 2009-04-21 05:38 am (UTC)From:Dude, so sorry to hear about the anemia thing. But glad you find out and are feeling better. I totally understand doldrums. Lemme know if there's anything I can do. I care about your very much.
I haven't seen the last few eps of Dollhouse. I still don't know quite what to think.
I loved what I saw of Sarah Connor Chronicles, but haven't started the second season yet. I'll have to get my hands on it.
I wouldn't worry about the Great Migration just yet either. I'm really interested in it, but the main reason I am is because it looks like if they do everything they want to with it, I can have the Dreamwidth thing and still easily remain in contact with everyone I'm interested in on LJ (whether they're interested in me or not).
It's great to hear from you. My philosophy is this constant rate of contact stuff is bullshit. Of course with people you live with or have to see every day it's one thing. But I've discovered the best friendships are when you can poke your head out of nowhere and say, "here I am! Play with me!" but then do what you have to do otherwise. So it's nice to see you around, but I want you to do the things that make you happy. I love your shoes.

Date: 2009-04-22 03:26 am (UTC)From:The thing about Dollhouse is that I don't see how it's sustainable. From what I understand it has a five year plan, but I can't see how this show can make it five years. It will have to change radically, I think because five years of Mission of the Week is not going to work, I think. And there still isn't a strong enough thread to overrule that. I say this even though Life has a strong week to week format. BUT!! There is such an strong overarching theme running between the episodes that it works for me. And in the end a lot of things get tied together. Of course, when it's at its least interesting is when it forgets to do anything with the sustained plot arc.
TSCC S2 is AMAZING!! There are a few slow spots. My brothers missed the action, but I was all about the character development in those quieter episodes. It's tremendous, I think, and the closing eps for the season blew me out of the water.
Hopefully, I'll come out and play sometimes soon. I don't know. I'm finding my fannishness waning. But that could be due, at least in part, to the anemia thing because I'm not interested in ANYTHING at the moment.
I'm hoping things are going well with you, babycakes!! I miss seeing you around here and reading all of your awesome thinky thoughts!!

I'll be getting a DW but I don't know about actual migration - most people are again with the cross-posting, which I understand is quite easy to do from DW - they've got a "crossposter tool." Hmmm ... no time to research (after 12 ayem, eesh) but I have a link: http://dw-maintenance.dreamwidth.org/5197.html
((Hugs)) I always miss you when you're not posting. For reals.
(Haven't finished Twilight yet. Got about 1/3 way, then distracted. Reading 'Let the Right One In' ... excellent novel. I recommend highly.)

Twilight, lord. I saw the movie about two weeks and was severely underwhelmed. Watching the film, I can now see all the potential for the series but it's just not at all realized, I think, in the text or in the movie translation. Now, Let the Right One In!! I bought the book right after I saw the movie, which I LOVED!! With my energy being all wonky I didn't feel ready to deal with something so dark, so I haven't started it yet, preferring to read romances and lighter YA. With the exception of Toni Morrison's A Mercy. I'm reading Inkheart at the moment and LOVING it! Anyway, I can't wait to read Let the Right One In and then we'll have to compare notes. Did you see the film?

A friend was reading the book and when I told her I was definitely planning to see the film/read the book, she offered to let me borrow it when she finished. I'm halfway through it now. Really well written! I'm looking forward to watching the DVD.
