Hmmm… well, 4 months on the Progynova (Oestradiol Valerate), and today I have my Doctors appointment to inquire (is it inquire or enquire?) about the implant.
Ok, today in a shoe-box. Woke up late and wanted to get into lab but Red rang to let me know she was back. I may be doing lunch with her tomorrow so it will be nice to see her for the first time in about 2 months. Two reactions went on and I had to reorder my essential starting material *groan* so over all, things did not progress all that far but I was there so hey, I did play the "Justify your existence" game. The conference starts on Sunday so that looms closer and closer and I don't know how to finish the poster which has kind of stalled…
What else? Sunday was very laid back. Spent most of the day lazing about or walking and or listening to some CD's. Bought Paul Simon's "Graceland" with money which I do NOT have and I definitely feel guilty, but it is a pretty cool album nonetheless.
I got emails from Peta and Illara which was nice since the vast majority of email these days is from the Anti-Jen list and hence not enormously personal. It's interesting to compare and contrast the different personalities on this particular email list. There are the nice, the awful, the bold, the elitists, the people who are supportive and the people who have their head firmly stuck… well you can guess where… So far in my very limited adventured (?) through the trans community, I have found people who are almost all nice so either all people are nice, or by some statistical fluke I've only met nice ones… or perhaps I only see the nice bits of people I see and talk to in person? Oh well, whatever nevermind…
Is escapism a bad thing? I suppose in moderation it's not too bad… I'm wondering because tonight I watched another 5 episodes of Sailor Moon. That took about 2 hours of time I had free anyway. I'm sure I could have been doing something useful (tidying up this pig-sty perhaps?) but it's so much fun to watch. For those unaware, "Sailor Moon" is a Japanese kids cartoon based around Serena an ordinary (well, as ordinary as the Japanese animee characters get) schoolgirl who fights evil as "Sailor Moon" a superhero. It's terribly corny, but I really do find it great to watch. My friend Jules lent me about 65 25 minute episodes he had on video, and I'm about half-way through. It has it's ups and downs, Serena is really clumsy and makes me laugh often, but there is another side. When Queen Serenity (which reminds me of Peta B's ICQ signature) died defeating the evil "Nega-force" I had such a big lump in my throat (my replacement for crying these days it seems).
In the original Japanese, they have lesbian and gay characters and even boys who transform into girl super-heroes, so it's interesting that it is (in theory) kids orientated (is it really?). I suppose in moderation and when I have otherwise free time it's not such a bad thing…
Yech… 1:20 am, not so good… must crawl between the heavy, heavy sheets…

3:20 am - Cannot sleep… I've been lying awake for the last half hour just thinking away… occasionally I'll laugh out loud cause of something funny which crops up, but it's 2 hours now… ho hum… so I was bored enough to reboot my computer and check email etc… sheesh… shouldn't have had that nap this evening… oh well…
