State of the me

Thanks for your responses w/r/t the whole headache thing. Thankfully shortly after I posted, the pain began to fade for good. At least the pulsy throbby part. As of right now, I'm still residually sore in my left upper jaw and feeling some pressure in the sinuses, so I'm definitely getting some Sudafed up in me later on today when I can escape the store for lunch. Considering I blew a 2 inch radioactive-yellow slug out of my nose this morning, I'm thinking clogged sinuses plus strange weather up in the northeast is the likely culprit.

Again, I don't envy you folks that contend with this shit more regularly. This sucks.

I got back to the Valley safe and sound last night, got picked up from the bus by the Manbeast (yay), and spent the rest of the evening parked on the couch trying to make up with the cat for leaving her FOREVER and snarking the Oscars on Twitter. Not really sure why I even turned them on, because it's not like I was particularly interested in the outcomes, none of which were particularly surprising, but I was glad I got to appreciate Octavia Spenser's tearful acceptance speech and Viola Davis' natural-haired fierceness. (Special mention for Chris Rock's nicely slicked back 'fro and hilarious bit regarding animation, and my GOD Esperanza Spaulding's froliciousness deserved an Oscar all by itself. It was a good night for natural black hair.) Eh, whatevs, participatory culture. After all that some quality Manbeast time was had and I of course got to sleep way too late for a 6:30 am alarm. Such is adult life.

Of food, fashion and foole-ishness

After a mostly dull day at work made briefly fantastic by a total lack of pain (if not of pressure) in the head, I had dinner and a prolonged session of shit-shooting with grinninfoole. I see why everyone raves about Judies in Amherst now - the food is quite good, the restaurant itself is pretty great space-wise, and if you're lucky enough to score a seat at the front window tables, you get a fantastic people watching vantage point. The only downside is I very definitely had too much coffee and I'm pretty sure if I tip my head to a certain angle, I can see through time.

I often forget how much I enjoy long, free flowing one on one conversations. I may not be the most social creature in terms of going out and hanging with a group, but I do love sitting down and talking with a single good friend for hours on end and I don't do that as much as I probably should. I should make an effort to fix that, because getting to do that tonight was actually really nice.

Also did you know they make adorable little purple dice earrings? Neither did I, but OH HAY I now have a pair. My nerd style, let me show you it.

Anyways, tip of the hat to the Foole for a lovely evening out.
