I’ve got a bunch of actual blisters on the top of my breast now. I have no idea if there are any underneath. No wonder the stupid thing hurts so much. I’m not looking forward to wearing a shirt to get to and from my appointment tomorrow, and we’ll be at Scott’s parent’s place for about six hours on Thursday (plus an hour there and an hour back). I’ll have to wear a shirt during that time. I’m not at all looking forward to it. Maybe it’s not worth going… Scott’s mother would be hurt, though, so I don’t know.

I’m working on answering the three fic related question sets I’ve gotten on that meme. One set, I’ve just barely started, one set, I’ve finished, and the third, I’m kind of stuck on one of the questions because I’m not sure I have an answer. I’ll post those answers here when I’m done.

Cordelia is really looking forward to having so much time off from school. I suspect she’ll get bored by the end, but who knows? Normally, I’d try to have friends come by to play with her, but, what with me sitting around topless, that’s not happening this year.

I’m surprisingly energetic today. I actually did the dishes. Which may be just as well since, if I don’t do them, nobody bothers.

I want to try Into the Badlands, but only the second episode is available on demand. Is that an okay place to start? Anybody know? My suspicion is that it will be too dark and violent for me (most things are), but I want to try it.

I’ve almost finished sampling all of the artists Amazon has been recommending to me. My next step is to listen to more by the folks that I’ve marked as 'maybe' so that I can figure out if I like them enough to spend money on. Listening to more by the folks I’ve marked as 'yes' seems like a good idea, too, because some of them, when I’ve gotten CDs from the library, haven’t proved as much to my taste as I thought they were. Of course, about half of them have nothing available from the library.

Ow, that does not sound like fun at all. Best of luck if you end up going!

I haven't heard of Into the Badlands, so I can't help you there. What kind of music are you listening to?

[the_rck]

Bluegrass, folk, and country with some 1950s/1960s/1970s popular music.

I've discovered that I like Johnny Cash and Perry Como and Patsy Cline. I didn't expect that. I knew I liked Doc Watson and Pete Seeger.

I tried over a hundred different artists/groups (maybe even twice that many), and really liked maybe twenty.

If the big family event isn't something you feel like you can handle, be honest. It sounds like you're in pretty rough shape and if your MIL can't understand that it would be difficult to attend, that's her problem and not yours.

The Badlands is pretty violent but in a Tarantino over-the-top kind of way. YMMV

Thanks! I'm not convinced that that will be my speed, particularly right at the moment, so maybe I'll give it a pass.

*nods*

That makes sense.

The artists might be on YouTube, too, maybe.

YouTube is where I've been trying artists to begin with. It's just hard to get a long run of stuff by an obscure artist there unless I'm monitoring it constantly. Getting a library CD works better for artists who are immediate, clear yeses or noes because a CD goes for an extended period without me needing to babysit it.
