Sign of the apocolypse or just another damn good reason to own a Tivo? You decide.

How the hell am I supposed to wait until October for Battlestar Galactica to resume?!?! (We just finished watching Season 2, marathon style. Good God.)
And also? Meet my new boyfriend. *faints*
Thanks to the_bone's awesome connection at our local comic book store, we got a free pass to see X-Men: The Last Stand at Grauman's Chinese theater the day before it opened! (SO. GOOD!) Go see it, right now, before some fool on the internet gives away the plot twists.
It's been awhile.
While I've really missed blogging, I'm at a loss for what to say these days. You would think that with all the fun and interesting things going on and more madness in the works (Not to mention a certain upcoming GRADUATION CELEBRATION!) that there would be no shutting me up. Somehow, it's not quite working out that way.
With all the rapid changes in my life (selling my house, moving in with my guy, going back to school, deferring school to take care of my daughter, adjusting to my daughter not needing my care any longer, coordinating returning to school AGAIN, getting treatment for my depression, an upcoming significant birthday, family strife, and body image issues galore) my brain hasn't caught up yet and even more than usual, I have no idea who the hell I am or what I want. Another existential crisis, how very... common.
Add to that the fact that I'm not entirely sure how anonymous this space is anymore. While I haven't taken any great lengths to disguise my identity, there are certain readers that might find the content here, well, uncomfortable. Or rather, I would be uncomfortable with them having this peek into my world. If they still haven't bothered to get to know me in person, they haven't earned the right to hear my inner thoughts and feelings - even though I don't mind sharing them with all of the internet.
I'm still conflicted about it though. A huge part of me says that - not unlike neighbors who peer in windows - if you look, then you deserve whatever you see. Another part feels cowardly for not directly confronting these issues people in person. Whatever is left over is too proud to admit that any of this is even a problem. Given my capacity for (over)analyzing everything to death and taking everything so terribly seriously, is it any wonder I have insomnia?
Pass the vodka. *sigh*

So, what happens when you read too many political threads on Metafilter, fervently wish Martin Sheen were president, compulsively read The Years of Rice & Salt, drink too many flaming margaritas and pass out?
Well, if you're me, you have an long, strange apocolyptic dream where you're working as a spy in George Bush's White House collecting intelligence on the Republican campaign strategy for 2008. And you (I can hardly type this) ...kind of feel sorry for the poor idiot. (I KNOW! I *still* feel dirty!)
Halfway through the dream, Martin Sheen is president. I only know we're in the middle of a crisis, but apparently a nuclear holocaust is pending. My job is to run around and shut all the blinds throughout the White House. As I slowly realize this hopeless errand is meant to keep us from seeing the bomb drop, I completely lose it until I accept that whatever is going to happen is going to happen and it's out of my hands.
I'm still not sure which presidency frightened me more.
(And I'm not even going into the parts where my sister is a security guard, I'm going to be an Aunt again, David Lee Roth refuses to help me find the White House dogs, the White House runners are midgets, Martin Sheen pounds a hole into a glass desk, the anxiety part of the dream where I keep getting assigned too many impossible tasks, preparing an executive summary by transcribing the tv show 24, and the meeting with GW involving a powerpoint slide and me carefully explaining why his lame-brain strategies won't work.)
Yeah, I have no idea either.
I don't think I've ever wanted to go anywhere and do anything as much as I want to do this. via Natasha.
