thoughts as i fell asleep last night.
1. i read my boyfriend's favorite issue of 'transmetropolitan'...*spoilers to transmet #8 to follow* it was about a woman who freezes her head for safe keeping upon her death and is brought back into spider jerusalem's world after years of stasis. she is cast off by society and unable to adjust to the world around her. warren ellis muses that the people who are able to adjust are the ones who really lose something.
reading it made me think about how i view the world, and how i (and most people, it seems) feel like there is just way more going on in every moment than i am capable of taking in. i only get a fraction of it at any given time, and even that fills me up. and i think most people have a general feeling of maladjustment as well, and ellis calls this a good thing. to be well adjusted is to miss something, or to be boring.
2. sometimes, after i watch "queer eye for the straight guy", i actually feel for an hour or so that the fab 5 are watching ME, and commenting on my lousy wardrobe or dismal skin care routine. the episode i saw last night was fun though. they transformed this guy from zz top into david bowie. it was amazing. family guy was also hilarious. thank god for pop culture to cheer me up late at night.
3. the low level anxiety i have been experiencing fairly constantly for the last week or so seems to be having an accumulative effect. i am hoping it is a symptom of not having much time to just relax lately, and feeling guilty when i do relax. i am also hoping that as things lighten up a bit in my life, this problem will correct itself. i do not enjoy feeling anxiety. it leads to a general unfun pessimism.
4. no comics i like are coming out this week, but there is an action figure that apparently looks like me going on sale. kid flash. i do see the resemblance. i wish i could fly.
