So yesterday I realized that, if you feel like you are about one second away from having a nervous breakdown for, oh, about half a year or so, you are probably right in the middle of one.

I've slept five hours tonight.
This is a good thing, because it means I went to bed at 2.30 and got up at 7.25, instead of going to bed at 3.30 and getting up at 6.50, like I usually do.I don't mean to, but I wake up at 6.50 like a clockwork on weekends. That it didn't do it today means is the first step on number 1 in my good intentions:
1) Get more sleep
I don't think I'll ever make it to seven hours, but I figure a regular six hours would be ok for starters. I'm just afraid that the constant lack of sleep will get to me one day. Plus, I'm 31 one, so I'm not getting any younger, and not sleeping definitely doesn't help stopping the aging process.
So, more sleep it is.
It'll also help me accomplish goal 2:
2) Lose weight
Because people who sleep a lot are less likely to be overweight. Also, because I can't eat at night if I sleep, and I often eat at night. Or wake up and eat. Which, I won't even get into it, but my eating has been messed up for years,and I'm going to change that as well. It's about time.
Losing weight fits nicely with goal 3:
3) Get back into shape
And I don't mean my body, though I've been unhappy with that for years (hence the losing weight thing). I mean the general me. I've been so caught up in my busy life, my career, my horse, and frankly, content with it right down to being single for years, that I've neglected myself a little bit. I'm still content to be single, but I notice that lately I'm not the one to turn heads any more if I walk into a bar, and frankly, I don't like it. Doesn't have anything to do with wanting a man/woman, it's just an ego thing. So, get a hair cut, get some regular manicures, treat myself to a massage now and then. Dress up, cause you don't own all those heels just for looking at them, girl. You gotta face that a 31 yers old body takes a bit more maintenance than a twenty year old one.
Oh, I'm so looking forward to this.
But, because of the road to hell and everything: baby steps. Baby steps that start with me finally starting to do the things that have been on my to do list since the beginning of the year (and longer). I just don't know where those first four months of 2009 went, but I know that if I don'T start now, it'll be 2010 and I'll still have the same things on my to do list that I do today.
So, just thought I'd let you know that soon you'll have the new, improved version of Oceana on your flist, Oceana 2.0 if you want.
Meanwhile, I'll be over here, cleaning the kitchen with my freshly manicured nails.
ETAOMG AM I HAVING A MIDLIFE CRISIS???? I can't believe I'm having a fucking midlife crisis!!!!

ETAOMG AM I HAVING A MIDLIFE CRISIS???? I can't believe I'm having a fucking midlife crisis!!!!
*panics*
So I have this folder in my emails. It is labeled "ANSWER!!!!". It
contains (duh!) unanswered comments, going back to, oh, January, I
think. Definitely not 2008, because at the end of the year I threw out
all unanswered comments and emails with the intention to never ever
let it get that far again.
Hah.
Anyway, I was going to answer these old comments, just for the fun of
it. But, since I'm never at home, I can only answer comments via
email, which
a) seriously limits my choice of icons (no choice at all is more like
it, which is why you see me use the cow so often these days), and
b) means that I cannot check if maybe I have already answered that
comment and forgot to take it out of the folder. Which is why I
usually give up very quickly on answering comments via email, and then
I'm never at home, and well, it's a vicious circle.
I was going to just throw them all out again, because frankly, who
cares about comments after such a long time in a fast-moving medium
like the internet? But I like answering comments. So, I decided that
I'm going to slowly make my way through the folder. Expect to get
answers to really really old comments from me during the next days.
Sometimes even twice. ;.)

Sometimes I want to run around naked in public, screaming "look, I can be naked and you can look at my nakedness and we are not going to hell!!!"
(well, I am, but that's because of all the gay porn I read)
This midnight rant (midnight rants are always a bit shorter than normal rants, plus, it's already 1 a.m.) was brought to you by Oceana's general fedupness (totally a word) with prudishness in general, and in the US in particular. (sorry, but it's true)

You may remember that a few weeks ago I had a personal crisis about having reverted to my teenage days because I bought a *sigh* Supernatural poster. (however, since it was very pretty, I got over this crisis quickly.)
I'm happy to be able to tell you that said poster has now arrived. (You may have heard my teenage-girly squee!) I immediately (well, a week later, cause I'm a busy business woman) went out to have it framed, and, what do you know, a pretty frame would have cost more than 100 Euro! In a rare fit of sanity I pretended to live on a
teenage-girl budget and bought a cheaper frame, which doesn't look that professional, but it's still nice.
Then I bought a hammer (just kidding. I own a hammer. I've even used it once or twice before) and went to the bedroom to hang up the pretty, newly framed teenage-girl Supernatural poster.
Which is when sanity, again!, struck: hanging a Supernatural poster in the bedroom???
Am I completely insane?
I'm never gonna get laid again!
I quickly left the bedroom, with the poster, and can report that said poster, cheap frame and all, is now hanging in my office (the home office, not the office-office. I like to keep my job).
I guess that means I'm never gonna get any work done again.
*looks at poster*
(and it's so worth it)

put it on my wall.

I own too many TV shows on DVD.
At least that's what I thought, until I had an epiphany while browsing Amazon today. Here's my epiphany:
I do NOT own too many TV shows on DVD! (amazing how these things can be so simple, isn't it?)
Yes, I own more shows than I can ever watch unless I quit my job and stop sleeping altogether. But I don't buy them to watch them. I collect them. Being able to watch is just an added bonus. So it's perfectly alright that I nought, for example, MacGyver Season 3 more than a year ago and it is still unwrapped. It does not mean that I cannot buy the rest of MacGyver, knowing that the chances that I will ever rewatch all of MacGyver are very very slim.
I feel so much better since I had this little epiphany, and not just because of MacGyver. So many shows to collect!
Here's what I currently want:
Simon & Simon Season 2 - this one I actually want for watching, because I LOVE Simon & Simon, and I haven't watched it since I was, oh, about twelve
Riptide Season 2 and 3 - same as above. It is very likely that I will watch this ocne I buy it.
MacGyver Season 4-7 - I've already watched all of MacGyver once, and frankly, well, I LOVE RDA, but there's a reason why I never watched MacGyver when it was shown on TV. He's way too good for me. So it's rather unlikely that I will ever rewatch all of these eps. But I might enjoy one inbetween other shows.
Bones - Season 1 and 3 (I already own season 2) - now, I hesitated for a long time before I bought any Bones DVDs, because I have all the eps on my HD and I have never once rewatched them. Still, I'm so much in love with the show this season that my wish to rewatch gets stronger. And a girl's gotta be prepared (plus, season 1? really cheap on ebay)
Battlestar Galactica Season 3 and 4 - I haven't made up my mind about this. I loved season 1, then stopped watching somewhere in the middle of season 3 because I just didn't have the time anymore - and wasn't that interested anymore. Now I'd really like to see how the show ends, plus, there' CKR to be drooled at, which is always a good thing. Hmm. I might buy them and spent a few weekends watching, but there's a high probability that I will resell them in the future.
Remington Steele Season 1-5 - I LOVE Remington Steele. Just like I love Simon&Simon Riptide. It's called nostalgia, and I intend to have tons of fun and happiness with it.
Oz - Complete Series - I'm not sure about this. Truth is that I almost inhaled Oz when I first watched it. Truth is also that it sometimes almost choked me with its violence and sex and drugs and not enough rock'n'roll. Oz may be a bit too brutal for me, but I was also fascinated with it - and I haven't dared to rewatch since I first saw it. this would be my chance to watch the eps in order. Unfortunately, there do not seem to be too many good deals for the complete series yet.
So, tell me, what's on your DVD wish list? Do you own "too many" DVDs", or do you just sell the things you don't watch?

Ever since I bought a horse (OMG HORSE!) I'm a weather forecast addict. See, my horse is outside all day long, and since there is no place for him to hide when it rains, he gets a little rain blanket when it is cold and rainy. And when it is even colder and rainy, he gets a little rain blanket with a bit of fill, which is brown and he looks adorable in it. But if it doesn't rain, or if it gets warmer, he doesn't get a blanket, because it's not supposed to be against the cold, just against the rain.
( We all use math every day: to forecast weather... (in which I actually talk about the weather) )
In other news: I'm having serious issues with Numb3rs this season ( (in which I talk about the current season of Numb3rs) )
So I have issues with Numb3rs, this season. I'll probably keep watching anyway, since there's nothing better on on Friday evenings and I'm down to five shows a week anyway, three of them running on Sundays.
Enough for now. I'll quickly check the weather and then it's off to bed!

I have now stared at her until my eyes hurt and she is still spinning clockwise. She was spinning anti-clockwise with her feet there for a second or so, but turned back to clockwise immediately. Of course, I agree with everything that's being said about right brain functions, it all applies to me.
As does the left brain stuff.
Clearly, my brain is broken.
(I will now watch The Unit, then I will answer comments, maybe review books which I haven't done at all this year and maybe, maybe even post some recs. Yep,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
