Things

I feel unaccountably melancholy. I've been a bit teary lately, for no good reason, crying at things on tv and songs and the like...usually I'm not one for tearing up at something I've read/heard/watched before, but I cried while watching Veronica Mars yesterday, and while listening to a song I've heard dozens of times. I'm becoming such a wimp.
In any case, it's kind of useful, because the thing I'm writing right now has a kind of depressing tone, and I'm in the right frame of mind to write it.
I watched Cyrano De Bergerac (or at least the middle part of it) on PBS today, it was kind of a disappointment. It's one of my favorite plays EVER, but there's two versions: the original text and a rhyming couplet adaptation. The version on PBS was the rhymning couplet one, and while it's pretty good, it's still a little oversimplified and doesn't contain as many neat little turns of phrase as the original. Also, Jennifer Garner was playing Roxanne, and she was overacting horribly. But Kevin Kline was doing Cyrano and he was quite good, and the guy playing Christian looked a bit like Barack Obama, but more heavyset. Ha! 
Oh, yes, and glasses are here and on my face. I look fine in them -- they don't look bad but they don't grant me that much beauty either. About what I expected. However there will be no pix because I've left my camera cord back in Tucson,  and anyways most of you will see me on sunday or monday anyways.
AND I believe that every adult should play on the playground at least once a month. Lacey and Florence and I did so today and it was way more fun than it should have been. I also smoked a cigarette for the first time in almost 2 years, did not enjoy it. It did let me know how much mellower hookah is than cigarettes. Yep. The cigarette, she is still not for me.
What else...crocheted christmas gifts are almost finished (FINALLY!) I still have to finish Sebastian's, then do Ben's and Nora's, and then I am done! It was a titanic undertaking and I'm kind of shocked that I'll get it all done (oh shit I just jinxed myself, didn't I...).

And...that's it! I think. Doubtless updates will continue to be overdone, it really is ridiculous how many times I post on here.
