I actually have three drafts sitting in my queue, ideas absolutely worthy of discussion, but almost incoherent in their construction. Seriously, even short posts on discussion forums I try to write leave me scratching my head going “what the heck does that mean?”; I shudder to think what it looks like to others.
I’m not sure what’s going on. I probably need to get my thyroid levels checked (actually, I need to anyway, as my script runs out soon and my doc won’t represcribe without a blood check). But I’m tired, I’ve been having more migraines the past few days, and the words are just seriously not coming (at least the latter two are likely connected, as one of the most irritating parts of the neurological storm known as “migraines” is the difficulty thinking of the right word, even when the pain isn’t currently active). Terribly disheartening for a word geek and writer like me.
Anyway, I leave you with a few links that I’ve found interesting recently (some of which I’ve tried — and failed — to write about, so you might hear more about them later. or not.):
- Alas, a blog on (avoiding or replacing) the metaphors of madness
- Mom’s Tinfoil Hat has not one but two posts up about refusing to perform elective cesareans, and Rixa at Stand and Deliver has an interesting follow up
- Although you’d pretty much have to tie me down with intent to torture to get me to watch Desperate Housewives, Hoyden About Town has an interesting post on the fat politics of a particular episode, that makes me want to go find just that snippet on YouTube
And finally, how could anyone not adore this kid?

In my bathroom hangs a plaque with a picture of a yin yang and the word BALANCE. I can never get it to hang straight. This probably says something deep and meaningful about my life.
What a cute picture! (I couldn’t resist, I had to comment on the picture).
