Starting the weekend over...

Yesterday was about as craptastic as a day that involved getting to see Eddie Izzard could be. Shocking and enraging and worrying Very Bad News for a good friend first thing in the morning, death of an author (something that always hits me hard), really stressful and busy day at work, and flaring and migraine by the time I got home. I medicated enough to be able to go to the show, but I couldn't help dozing through part of it, which was frustrating. Still, it was a lot of fun. And some enjoyable conversations in the evening (*waves* to rysmiel and jokervalentine), as well as hearing back from an old friend I'd found the other day, did provide enough bright spots that by the end of the day I wasn't actually in a bad mood, just utterly, utterly drained.

Today is all about relaxation, recuperation, and some moderate amount of house organization (which I find soothing). Oh, and finally catching up on the Netflix. I'm watching Origin: Spirits of the Past, which has a very Miyazaki feel to it so far, and I've also got Bam Bam and Celeste (Margaret Cho!), and The Devil's Rain (70s Shatner horror! Hee!). And then Grafton and I have project plans for the afternoon that should be lots of fun. So although Friend is still very much on my mind, the general exhaustion and other crap stress is basically gone now, and I'm feeling relatively placid and relaxed.

Today shall be a day without crises, Very Bad News, or drama. I so declare it.

Any local folks who want to come over and partake of the chillness are most welcome.

Finally caving...

OK, finally caving and creating Facebook and Myspace accounts, so I can view other people's profiles and find them.

(this capitulation brought to you by news that I can find an old friend via Facebook)


Edit:

Wow. What an utterly bizarre nostalgia trip. Like looking forward to the Peep reunion next week wasn't already doing that to me...

I have found a number of folks on Facebook that I remember very fondly, and who have been positive parts of my life at various points, though. I'm enjoying that. Makes me happy to remember they're in the world out there somewhere.
