Spike ,'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I like having more light in the morning but realistically I still have to get up in the dark if I'm going in to the office which dampens my enthusiasm for the change somewhat
Yeah, I like waking up when it's light NOW but I know in another few weeks I'm going to be leaving the house and getting home in the dark, and that's just depressing.
Aw, that's a blast from the past, yay (numberslutting).
I like the light in the morning, but the early dark just makes me hunker down in general. Which, honestly, in this current environment of ours is kind of a default.
Three out of four of us quite enjoyed Frankenstein. I was one of the three. The outlier thought Dr. F actor (whose name is escaping me... Otto, Owen... Oscar!! But the last name is too much to ask) was overacting, but I thought the whole movie and his character in particular warranted that type of emotions-out-front acting, and they were mostly all playing it that way. For me, it worked quite well. Also, the cinematography and costuming were beautiful/stunning. It was longish, but I didn't get bored or antsy.
Huh. We have a movies thread don't we? Well, this was meant to be more of a "what I did last night" post, so...

True. I find that period right before we fall back when I have to get up in the dark and know that I wouldn't have to if it wasn't DST very frustrating, though! So that is relieved.
I am still trying to figure out if there is any sensible way for me to see Frankenstein. Like, if I go to the Fairfield office in the morning so I can walk through the outlet sale and perhaps shop, and then go to my usual Vallejo office in the afternoon, and then keep on going across the bridge to see a movie, is that ridiculous? Will I regret it Wednesday? Does that theater have good food options I could make be dinner? A lot of unknowns. I have a lot of faith in Guillermo del Toro making a movie I will enjoy, not really worried about that.
I, as a person with delayed sleep phase disorder to the point that my natural body clock is primed for being nocturnal, appreciate the Fall Back part of DST. Spring Forward is hellish nonsense.
Onerousness completed, after way too much faffing about: I actually have a doctor on this side of the Bay. (Of the one I had on the other side, the less said the better.) Next step, later this week: Get said doctor to refer me to a therapist. I don't know whether the time change shook something loose, or I just subconsciously decided it was time; I've known I needed to be in therapy at least since my heart attack in 2018, but the "behavioural psych" that Kaiser assigned me afterward to make sure I was taking my meds was ... not a great fit, and we only got two or three visits in before it fell apart.
If anyone has some therapist~ma lying around, I could use the boost. Thanks very much.
Therapist~ma!
I'm legitimately shocked that my Dad outlived Dick Cheney, since they're the same age and my Dad has all the diseases. (Honestly I had forgotten that Dick Cheney wasn't already dead.) RIP, you fucking war criminal.
RIP, you fucking war criminal.
I like to think it was the exit polling from the NYC mayoral race that did it.
May it begins a spate of evil mother motherfuckers shuffling off.
I should write greeting cards.
He had dropped further down on my list of deplorables that needed to shuffle off the mortal coil, but I certainly applaud the notion that this is the start of a trend.
